If we plan on getting those articles to GA status, we should get our priorities in order. I think this is a good list of things to keep in mind when trying to improve the article. To reach GA status, these articles must:
Sure, i'll add the first paragraph of each game's section in the series article with the picture to the right hand column. Feel free to move it around.→04174421:21, 5 January 2008 (UTC)
Super Smash Bros Brawl comes out in Japan on January 24, and we should try to get all the information we can when it is released. Fangz of Blood21:54, 5 January 2008 (UTC)
I do not think that the page itself really needs a mass update on Brawl. This task force is there to help improve the Smash Bros articles, not post updates on Brawl.--

Barnstar
Perhaps we should consider creating a barnstar for people doing outstanding jobs working on the articles. The Playstation WikiProject has one.--

Someone had added them to the playable table. They are NOT confirmed. That video was too blurry to tell whether it was them. Also, they could be just stickers.--

Please note that the stickers would be on top and characters are on the bottom, if you look at the video carefully the stickers on top are just stickers once you click on them they show you which Characters can use those stickers, also do to the fact the video was edited once people found out about Lucario, Ness and Jiggalypuff it means that they wanted to surprise us with Ness by keep telling fans "Up until now" and "Do you remember Ness?" also why would stickers be on the bottom they would be too small for people to see its proven that all three characters are in Pokemon.com stated that Lucario and Jiggly are in. Different web sites all over the world have Lucario, Ness and Jiggalypuff as confirmed. Please don't change them to "x" or "?".--

I'd just like to say hello here and that I think this is a great task force. Hopefully,
Super Smash Bros. Melee should make FA in the near future, as it narrowly failed, with four opposes and three supports (one provisional oppose at the account of instability). Brawl and Melee. could make FA, and the other two GA; so with this in mind, a Featured Topic seems entirely possible. Thanks.

There is a lot of vandalism on Brawl's page. We have to keep an eye on it. Now that it has been released, everyone thinks they know everything about it.
Smashbrosboy(talk)22:48, 12 March 2008 (UTC)
In my opinion, the games section should be moved to the main part of the page, instead of the side table. It'll look less bulky that way. --

It's really close, just add a few references to the boss section and format a few of the references, and it's GA. Someone push it over the top! :)

Then, lets work on organizing a list of sources below and start from there. (All the Google searches I've conducted ends up with Melee or Brawl. I can't find enough sources that point towards the original, even if I put in the original afterwards.) --

Congratulations, but... I hate to be a killjoy, but how does being an owner work on a wiki in which anybody can edit? What duties do they partake in and what "special powers" do they have? I'm sorry if I seem rude—I may be completely wrong.
AshnardTalkContribs15:58, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
Thank you so much! Sorry for the late reply...I hadn't noticed that someone left a comment here. (Sorry) Too busy admiring my new smashball image. lolz But really, thanks! It means a lot to me. --

Yes, that and you are the one who will make the major assignments for the task force with me. I needed help and you were the most active person I could find. I am thinking of a system for this task force where each member can have an assignment that they can complete. If this becomes a reality, then Haha and I are going to be the ones giving out the assignments.--
Smashbrosboy06:18, 15 June 2008 (UTC)
Such a system would be difficult to create, but incredibly effective it it is created and stabilized, but it needs cooperation from everyone. --

No one owns a certain taskforce or project at Wikipedia. Giving out assignments also appears to be unacceptable, as Wikipedia is a place to volunteer. Not a place to assign people what to do. People will edit what they want, not just be bossed around like this.

They are editing what they want. I am quite aware of the Wikipedia policies. However, Smashbrosboy most likely meant a "Current Tasks" box as there are on most Wikiprojects. You can search anybody's contributions, and you will not find a single case of somebody telling someone else to do something. I appreciate you trying to notify people of these problems, so keep on doing it. "Cooperation from everyone" really does mean cooperation. I'm not asking anyone to be bossed around, but rather actually cooperating. This taskforce is on the verge of being in the "inactive" status. --

Haha, you took the words right out of my fingers. Well, I am trying to tell everyone who is part of the task force to be a little more active here...--

Renewed FA push for Brawl?
Now that we are back to having all GA's, should be ramp up and get this to FA? Our Featured Smash Topic is now one Golden Star away...

I'm still pushing, but it seems as if that article has fallen to the vandals. We are relying on 3rd party editors to revert vandalism. That's not good, is it? --

No I am afraid it isn't. Well the vandals were to be expected. Brawl releasing in EnglandEurope and Australia is not exactly a minor event...--
Smashbrosboy16:56, 5 July 2008 (UTC)
I don't even think the Library of Congress will have anything. The best I could find was Way-Back Machine, but it was somehow removed during the GAN process and I was too lazy to put it back. And the Reception section is a huge issue for this article. This game stands in the shadows of Melee and Brawl. --

You know, to make the situation even worse, I was thinking about creating a "Legacy" section like Melee. Lo and behold...no cites. Wtf... --

As everyone should know, WikiProject Nintendo will very likely be no more in the near future, either turning into a task force or just plain redirecting to WikiProject Video games. What would likely happen to this task force could be two things:
Make the task force no more, or
Move the task force under the general WPVG umbrella.
I would think most here would want to keep the task force around for maintenance and additional collaboration purposes. Please discuss below.

I believe it would be best to move this to the general VG umbrella. That way, we can at least get some notice in the VG talk page template. Anyway, there are still some goals left for this project to do - and it has done some things that are important enough to retain as a historical archive. I think it should become a WP:VG taskforce - that's perhaps the smartest move, IMO. --
haha169 (

04:13, 3 September 2008 (UTC)
Yes, that's what I am ultimately recommending. I figure, even if there is not much to be done with the present articles, maintenance and upkeep is surely needed. If inactivity comes up for this WikiProject, then the cleanup force can appropriately deal with it with collaboration with the task force and with WPVG in general.
MuZemike (

There's been
some discussion on what to do with several task forces that appear to be inactive. The current suggestion is to consolidate similar groups to create a larger pool of members. This will hopefully bring more attention to the articles in separate group's scope.
That being said, what do the members here think about merging with
Wikipedia:WikiProject Video games/Nintendo. The Legend of Zelda Project did this as well, and it seemed to work out well for both groups. And with the limited scope of articles already covered by the Nintendo task force, it makes sense to combine efforts. Any thoughts? (
Guyinblack25talk15:52, 8 April 2009 (UTC))
Yeah, definitely. With a scope of little more than 4 articles, all of which are GA status or above now, and clearly stagnant project pages, I'd say this task force has more or less fulfilled its purpose.

It's always possible a new game can come out. But really, that's not something a task force is needed for. I'm all for merging, unless there is a large contingent of active editors in the task force who still see value in this.
