Rename?
I think we could boost interest by giving this place an interesting rename. Something like "The Trophy Vault", or "The Sticker Centre", or something else new and different. Ideas/opinions? Toomai Glittershine 00:10, August 10, 2012 (UTC)
 * I like trophy vault... felinoel 14:01, August 10, 2012 (UTC)
 * I agree with the idea of "The Trophy Vault" as the new name. Mr. Anon (talk) 00:28, August 12, 2012 (UTC)


 * Just a heads up, that will hurt your SEO and result in less people coming here. - Wagnike2 (talk) 19:42, August 13, 2012 (UTC)
 * We're currently competing for SEO with SmashWiki (on my end the top results for common searches are going back-and-forth between the two, which can't be good for casual searchers); this is to help alleviate that.
 * Another option I've been informed of is the name "Smashpedia", as this would match Wikia's Spanish Smash Bros. wiki. Toomai Glittershine [[Image:Toomai.png|20px|link=User:Toomai/Data Node|Data Node]] 21:47, August 13, 2012 (UTC)
 * I think that "Smash Universe" is an appropriate name because this wiki covers all aspects of Smash, including fanon and machinima. My second choice would be Smashpedia, because it sounds spiffy. VoleVanquisher (talk) 03:39, August 16, 2012 (UTC)
 * Yes, Smash Universe or maybe even, The Smashiverse definitely is the best name in my opinion so far. felinoel 13:07, August 16, 2012 (UTC)
 * At least a name involving the word Smash being related to the wiki (e.g. Smashpedia, Smashverse, etc.) Conker's Bad Fur Day ( Talk | Contribs | Edits ) 19:26, August 17, 2012 (UTC)
 * I like the idea of Smashiverse. It sounds interesting and different, which is exactly what we need.SuperWarioBros (talk) 17:01, August 27, 2012 (UTC)
 * Plus Smashiverse sounds fitting. felinoel 17:31, August 27, 2012 (UTC)
 * Smash Universe sounds better because Smashiverse is a little "punny", and it's not that fitting. TheAwesomefroggy (talk) 00:58, September 3, 2012 (UTC)
 * How is Smashiverse punny? It is just merging of two words, this is a very common practice, how do you think Pokemon got its name? It was originally named two words but then they merged them. ƒelinoel  ~  (Talk)  15:08, September 4, 2012 (UTC)
 * Sorry, I forgot to add "for lack of a better term". TheAwesomefroggy (talk) 02:58, September 7, 2012 (UTC)
 * But it is just merging of two words, this is a very common practice, how do you think Pokemon got its name? It was originally named two words but then they merged them. ƒelinoel  ~  (Talk)  14:49, September 7, 2012 (UTC)


 * Yes, that's what for lack of a better term comes in. It's not "punny", but it sorta sounds like it's trying to be clever (with wordplay) so it sorta souns punny in a way. TheAwesomefroggy (talk) 22:15, September 7, 2012 (UTC)
 * I don't follow... how is it wordplay? ƒelinoel  ~  (Talk)  17:40, September 11, 2012 (UTC)
 * Depends on your definition of the word, but the fact that we're taking "Smash" and "universe", then merging them into our own word is what I mean. TheAwesomefroggy (talk) 22:41, September 11, 2012 (UTC)
 * Then give your definition? ƒelinoel  ~  (Talk)  13:49, September 12, 2012 (UTC)
 * I'm not going to give my exact definition, but basically, it's wordplay as it's it own word (not in the dictionary), and it a clear combo. of two words, in a sort of "clever" way, as it's unique.


 * I also have a bigger reason, but it would only work if you know what i'm referencing, as I have no idea weather or not it's a popular thing. Ever look at someone and think they look like a(n) *insert name here*? For example: I know of someone who got the nickname "Walter" for saying he looked like one, and everyone agreed. The "i" in "Smashiverse" that makes the e sound doesn't really sound very "Smash like." Again, I don't know if this is a popular thing or not, but I think it is, just didn't say it in case no one here knew what I meant. TheAwesomefroggy (talk) 00:14, September 13, 2012 (UTC)
 * I have no clue what you are talking about... but I think you are saying you don't like my username... no fair I thought it up when I was ten... >.>
 * Why does Smashiverse use any hard e sound anywhere? Pronounce it like universe but without the un. ƒelinoel  ~  (Talk)  13:50, September 13, 2012 (UTC)
 * K, well just take the kid in my example. "Smash Universe" sounds more "Smash-bros-y". universe without the "un" doesnn't sound "Smash-bros-y" either.
 * Also, your username's fine. TheAwesomefroggy (talk) 22:11, September 13, 2012 (UTC)
 * I have no clue what you are talking about, and no my username isn't fine it is apparently punny and uses wordplay. ƒelinoel  ~  (Talk)  12:44, September 14, 2012 (UTC)
 * I never said "all puns are bad", just certian ones are. It's like if someone tells a bad joke. Does that mean you hate jokes? Of course not. And again, I only inserted "punny" and "wordplay" for lack of better terms. It's not a straight-up pun. And I know you may not have any idea what i'm talking about, but you can use the example I gave you about "Walter". TheAwesomefroggy (talk) 23:33, September 14, 2012 (UTC)

--Badinkadink 13:03, September 8, 2012 (UTC) Love It!(UTC)
 * Whenever you make a vote you will need rules, like how many people can vote for or how long the voting lasts. ƒelinoel  ~  (Talk)  15:08, September 4, 2012 (UTC)

Try to choose one name. The voting lasts until we get enough votes. VoleVanquisher (talk) 06:59, September 12, 2012 (UTC)
 * What constitutes, "Enough" then? That would be a rule that would be good to be decided. ƒelinoel  ~  (Talk)  13:49, September 12, 2012 (UTC)
 * I'd say "enough" is like 90% of all the more active users. That or wait a couple weeks, as we already have waited further. If after some more time, (1 week?) no one votes, then maybe we can close it, as it is on the front page, making it conspicuous enough IMO. TheAwesomefroggy (talk) 00:18, September 13, 2012 (UTC)

Smashpedia looks like a good name. .....fromsmashwiki (talk) 04:48, September 15, 2012 (UTC)

Allusions section.
Hi.

I was wondering if we could take a note from the Dissidia subsection of the Final Fantasy Wiki and create an allusions section for each character, regarding their abilities, stickers effects, and/or role in Adventure Mode/Subspace Emissionary. Weedle McHairybug (talk) 12:05, September 13, 2012 (UTC)
