Wikibooks merging

Well this is going to take a while. First of all, wikibooks super paginated everything, so how much do we want to merge it back into big pages? I think all the characters stuff can go onto one page, even the movelists and attack info and stuff. The items can also be merged, depending by item who has the best description. Personally, i don't think spoilers are necessary at all in ssbm, so i don't think secret characters should be separate.All the unplayable character and stages stuff should go on a miscallaneous page, as they aren't that important to gameplay. Their advanced techniques page needs serious de-uglification, and i can merge our more advanced stuff into theirs. thats all i can think of now. --blendmaster 13:41, 13 May 2006 (PDT)

• do we really need to keep all the spoiler warnings in for ssbm wikibooks stuff? it seems like you'd have to be pretty crazy to be mad about someone spoiling the damage information for you...--blendmaster 20:51, 18 May 2006 (PDT)

Spoiling all characters image?

Scroll down, you can see that there is an image that shows the character selection screen with all characters unlocked. And just below that is a list of all the characters. Shouldn't there be a spoiler lock here and there?--ness

• I wouldn't call listing the characters a spoiler - at least, not in a game with no plot. If we were talking about character bios for an RPG that's one thing since it might ruin the way the plot unfolds, but for a beat-em-up it's not likely to ruin much of the experience. --aniki21 06:07, 19 January 2006 (PST)
• I think the only thing that would really spoil anything plotwise would be Zelda's transform move into Shiek. Otherwise, you could maybe put a small spoiler tag for people who want to be suprised by the unlockables. Personally, I was glad I found them out myself. --Netmonmatt 08:47, 19 January 2006 (PST)
• does strategy wiki have a spoiler rollover hide or anything like the thing they have on the unfiction(alternate reality gaming forums) that just has a little block that stays all black or somthing unless you roll over it? because then we could just use that if its not a big spoiler. --blendmaster 11:38, 21 January 2006 (PST)

Template:SSBM Character

I made a template for all the characters. its called Template:SSBM Character. Its like Infobox exept for characters. I added learning curve and weight class as attributes but i can't think of anything else to put in the box. any ideas?--blendmaster 19:25, 24 January 2006 (PST)

Looks good, I don't think much else is necessary. <("<) Alex (>")> 22:26, 22 March 2006 (PST)

Item Sections

I've changed the items names from bullets to sub-sub-headings. I know this makes the contents way too huge, but headers look much better than bullets. Does anyone have another idea? <("<) Alex (>")> 18:53, 23 March 2006 (PST)

Multiple Pages

If you ask me, for no other reason than to better organize this guide, the SSBM guide should be multiple pages. I don't believe you have to go nuts with the pages, but placing categories such as Controls (including gameplay basics and Advanced Techniques), Characters, Items, Stages, and Modes should all have their own page. Seperately they make for an insanely long, single page guide. Let me know what you think (I could even do it for you if you want). --Irish Ninja 21:01, 23 March 2006 (PST)

I think that's a great idea, go for it as far as I'm concerned. <("<) Alex (>")> 23:27, 23 March 2006 (PST)

Well, I did it. It still think it needs some fine tuning (and a basic Table of Contents), but it feel much better organized now. I think most Fighting games can do with a single page, but there is so much to SSBM that it wasn't working.--Irish Ninja 01:18, 24 March 2006 (PST)

I think since its a relatively spoiler free game, the single page format is better even if the page was getting kind of big. But now since its been done, i think the table of contents needs descriptions and the ALL Page Nav thing added to the pages. Also, the items page is ugly with all those tiny sub-sub headings. just my opinion though.--blendmaster 21:01, 28 March 2006 (PST)

Yeah, the sub-sub headings aren't too pretty, but I think they look better than the bullets that they replaced. I'll see what I can do about the navigation. <("<) Alex (>")> 16:14, 29 March 2006 (PST)

ADDENDUM: I can't figure out how to customize the All Game Nav template to link to the specific pages. Does anyone else know how to do this? <("<) Alex (>")> 16:30, 29 March 2006 (PST)

Yeah, I can do it. --blendmaster 12:46, 30 April 2006 (PDT)

well, with the merge of the main page and table of contents and interduction, we really don't need the all game nav.--blendmaster 13:19, 30 April 2006 (PDT)

I'm going to merge the table of contents with the main page, just because the table of contents isn't really long anyway. --blendmaster 12:55, 30 April 2006 (PDT)

new sections

I added a few new sections to the Table of Contents on the main page. I didn't create them, just made some dummy links. Can anyone think of any other sections?--blendmaster 13:10, 30 April 2006 (PDT)
