Here is a list of everything that went down

Semicolon/Treatise on the Existence of Tiers

Oscuritaforze brought up this page and we discussed a potential merge with the Tier page to add the facts to that page or provide a link to the treatise. We also talked about how to get in contact with Semicolon has he is now on the other wiki but inactive.

New Admins/Rollbacks

SMASHfan brought up the idea about if we need any active admins. This lead us to talking about who would make some future good admins/rollbacks and who the "active crew" of the wiki is. I was saying on how I hope that I can promote him and Oscurita to rollback and one of them to admin as we need another one incase I am inactive or if OniLink is inactive.

The problems facing this wiki

SMASHfan then pointed out what are the problems we think the wiki has that needed to be fixed. We discussed how we needed a new active user base, a style that makes us different from SSBwiki, and a way to stop the vandals from returning. This lead us to discussing different ways to make ourselves different like adding colors to the infobars, new headings, and word changes.

SMASHFan's other ideas

Finally Smash pointed out how we have a lot of unnoticeable Smasher pages and I brought up the point of why do we even need them. We then got into discussing how they are hard to update and maintain along with the fact that so many of them have so little info. Finally he requested for a forum to be made about if we should remove these articles. He also made an idea for the idea of users getting to vote for future polls and I decided to use that for October's poll.

What pages needed to be added

I started going through some of the ideas I had planned and brought up what pages we should add. This lead into us talking about the new game and the tiny amount of info on it. SMASHFan brought up why doesn't it have a for in name and so I added that.

Promoting the Fanon wiki

After that I brought up the point about how should we promote the fanon wiki. SMASHFan pointed out that it should be promoted on the fanon policy page and that the fanon policy page should be merged with What SmashWiki is not. I am currently thinking of the merge idea and am most likely going to add that.

A name for the chat

This is short but we did discuss on what the chat should be named and I brought up "Super Smash Chat." and so we picked that and named the chat to Super Smash Chat.

Design

We agreed to let the main page be edited by rollbacks but soon after that we moved onto talking about the whole design of the wiki. SMASHFan pointed out that he disliked the design of the main page as he felt the logo needed to be shown more, and the background and text boxes needed to be more contrasting. Oscurita pointed out that he couldn't find the recent activity box and SMASHFan added that it should be moved higher up and become smaller. Oscuritaforze pointed out that he liked the current background but added that a new one should be added for the new games when they release. Sadly SMASHFan had to leave then but me and Oscuritaforze talked about what our new logo should look like and we decided on it looking like our current logo just with the new name. But just as that discussion ended Oscurita sadly said at the start of October he will become less active.

Well that is it for our chat discussion thanks for TheSMASHFan and Oscuritaforze for joining us and I hope next time more people can join it. This chat discussion lasted around two hours and we have gotten a lot of ideas for what we should do in the future.
