Smashpedia:Administrators' noticeboard

The Admin Noticeboard is intended to be a page to quickly alert administrators to issues that need their attention.

To make a request, statement, create a new section and provide a neutral, precise summary of events with thought-out reasoning, and, if possible, links to any pages with relevant discussions. It is also a good idea to notify any users involved with the request with a link to the section on this page. Make sure to add new sections to the bottom.

Report vandals in the section labeled for such reports. Be sure to include a link to the user or IP address's contributions list.

Vandal reports
This anonymous user has made umpteen changes in the last half hour. Cleanup help and a ban would be much appreciated. PenguinofDeath (talk) 12:11, 28 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Cleanup complete. I would just like to remind you all of something Semicolon said last time this IP vandalised and was duly banned:

" [...] when you come back on this IP and vandalize when your block expires, I will block you for 11 million years. Semicolon (talk) 16:49, 9 May 2009 (UTC) "


 * If you could do that, I would be very grateful. PenguinofDeath (talk) 12:33, 28 May 2009 (UTC)

Another hater for me. Is it not apparent enough why he's banworthy? L33t   Silvie  I see wat u did thar... |undefined 00:20, 19 May 2009 (UTC)

Vandal. Another guy who thinks he's being funny.-- Bek  (talk)  16:28, 26 May 2009 (UTC)
 * The Administrators' noticeboard is for vandals that are currently attacking the wiki. You don't need to report IPs that made one bad edit nearly a month ago. --Posted by Pikamander2   (Talk)  at 20:17, 26 May 2009 (UTC)

Koopas
I think that merging all Koopa-related pages together would be a good idea (which isn't too surprising, it being my idea). Describe everything in terms of Green Koopas, then explain the differences between the Green and Red versions for each form. Have one section on each of the forms of Koopa-kind: Shell; Koopa Troopa; Koopa Paratroopa. Describe how jumping on / attacking a Koopa Paratroopa turns it into a Koopa Troopa, how jumping on / attacking a Koopa Troopa turns it into a Shell for a period of time, and how these shells cannot take damage, but can be thrown to do damage, and can be destroyed by throwing them off the screen. Have two pictures of each of the forms, one of each colour, and a picture of each of the relevant trophies. Currently there are at least eight pages on Koopa-kind - there need only be one or two. I'm not sure if the Green Shell (Item) and Red Shell (Item) pages could be incorporated into the one page, as there is quite a lot to say about them (e.g. damage lists) but even if they couldn't be part of the main Koopa page, they could be made into one Shell (Item) page, removing all references to the shells found in the Subspace Emissary in Brawl. The following are the Koopa pages that would be affected by the move:
 * Green Koopa Troopa
 * Red Koopa Troopa
 * Green Shell
 * Red Shell
 * Koopa Paratroopa
 * Red Koopa Paratroopa
 * Green shell glitch (which doesn't even have an appropriate name)
 * Red Shell Glitch (which is the same glitch as the above)

 * Aside from keeping the items Green Shell and Red Shell separate, I concur. Miles ( talk)   20:27, 28 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Would you put everything Koopa-related all on the one page? Wouldn't that make it horribly long? Also, if the above Koopa plan is viable, I think a similar thing should be done about the members of the R.O.B. Squad, just because having a page for each member leaves the pages very short, but with a lot of repetition between them. In other news, is my signature okay? I seem to be the only person to have used the coding...
 *  Penguin  of  Death   21:38, 28 May 2009 (UTC)
 * A long article isn't bad by default; rather, a complete one is desirable. On second thought, though, Koopa Troopas (both colors) should be one page and Koopa Paratroopas should be another.
 * And for sig rules, read on. Miles ( talk)   21:57, 28 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Damn... I knew there was a reason why that code was never used. About the Koopa Paratroopas, is there really enough to say about them to justify their own page? And is there so little to say about Shells as items that their own page is not justified? I'd have thought that the Koopa Paratroopas were the least important of all Koopa-kind (I'm determined to make that a real phrase). I don't mind. So long as some sort of cleanup occurs, I'll be happy. Just point me (or whoever you want to do it) in the right direction, and I'll write the relevant pages.
