For the purposes of detecting and squashing plagarism and cross-wiki vandalism in either direction, I would like to retain my admin/bcrat powers.

Something I've been thinking: would it be possible to institute a separate group of user rights for the "old guard" of admins who still wish to combat vandalism/trolling/plagiarism? Say, a group that has block, delete, protect, and rollback rights, but not the full rights of an administrator? That way, they wouldn't have full access to the site, but would still be able to do what they have been doing.

@Oscuritaforze - Block, delete, protect, and rollback rights are all the things a regular administrator gets; the "full rights" you're thinking of, as in promoting and demoting, go to bureaucrats.

It would be a problem if someone decided to put a picture of Hello Kitty on every page, because this is not Hello Kitty Wiki and that would be vandalism, which the admins must clean up.

Starman — Having them be admins without being bureaucrats could work as well, but I was thinking more along the lines of the difference between (using the Creepypasta wiki as an example, as they have a user group like the one I was talking about) VCROC and an administrator. Normally, I think putting in a request with staff is required for a custom user group, but I doubt that would be a problem if staff is going to be involved in the wiki more heavily than usual anyway.

It needs more update and right info's! So every fighter are known to their full potential! Fox,Sonic,and one other fighter does not have a lot info's to be known of their true skills!

Mr Anon: I feel I have already covered this ground, and more discussion is just getting us into an endless cycle of questions

As I've said, having admins who are not dedicated to making this wiki the biggest and best online, is harmful and prevents its recovery and the development of a new community. I can give one easy example of how the current community has not had the chance to develop this wiki as they choose: with this comment.

On the name change: again, I have said this. Any name change should be decided by the current community, not those who forked, and so should be discussed once that community is established and no longer directed by either the past admins or the current trolls (at least one of whom voted for “Smashpedia”).

The current community is perfectly capable of doing everything that's needed for this wiki to revive – but not when they are handicapped by the past. It's my job to help them over that stage, and ensure that their decisions are their decisions.

Toomai: as with any other site outside Wikia, you are welcome to contact us if you have any issues with the content on Wikia.

Oscuritaforze: It's a good thought, but that would still hold back the current community rather than allowing them to move forward and develop this wiki.

TheSMASHFan: That was an exaggeration to make the point :) The point being that it's no longer the decision of the past community. It's time for the new community to decide how to make sure this is the best Super Smash Bros wiki online.

And that's the key message here. We could talk about it forever but, right now, this is how it is. As I've said a few times now, if your main focus is ssbwiki, then this wiki is no longer your concern.

Very well. I have sent my request to discuss buying the "smashwiki.com" domain and will almost certainly stop visiting here once I obtain it.

But know that the die has been cast, and the war has only just begun. I won't lay a finger on this wikia to damage it, because I don't need to. I just need to continue being one of SmashWiki's top contributors, providing data that no one else in the world knows how to obtain. You say you want this wikia to be the best Smash Bros. wiki online? I will see to it that it's not going to happen in the next hundred years.

Your challenge is to beat me. Good luck.

I should say I am somewhat disappointed with the (largely lack of) responses given. That said, I respect the decisions made and wish the best of luck for the new community. That said, I make this my official departure from this site, and intend to only edit here upon notices on my user talk page.

Toomai: that is a fair challenge, definitely one I can respect.

And thank you both for taking that route rather than the one of actively damaging this wiki.
