Template talk:News

Weren't we not to add every update from the Dojo? I don't think a new Pokémon is big enough to be featured on the Main Page of MarioWiki. - 06:36, 10 September 2007 (EDT)
 * A new Pokémon is just as important as an Assist Trophy, and we are putting a bit of emphasis on Assist Trophy (Not that it has gone on this Template yet), so I think they should be allowed on. Or, either both are allowed in this template, or neither.
 * Wait, this is a big one, cos' it confirms the 4th Generation in Brawl. Maybe we shouldn't do EVERY Pokémon update, but, because this confirms the long speculated rumour that the 4th Generation is in, maybe we should keep Munchlax, but forget all the rest. How about that?
 * Did we have assist trophies here? Not that I can remember. The guideline is:

it is NOT:

* a place for every Smashbros.com update. Please only include major updates (i.e. a newcomer). If you're not sure if a particular update is worthy, ask at the talk page here (not Template talk:News) first.
 * I don't think a Pokémon or an Assist is worthy enough. Only Mario Assist Trophies and Mario Special moves should be here. About some generation of Pokémon in, doesn't sound like a big deal, it would be natural just to include every generation there is to date. - 06:45, 10 September 2007 (EDT)
 * The 4th Generation is Pokémon Diamond & Pearl, and every Pokémon in it. More specifically, the most recent installment of the games. AND, because Brawl started production before Pokémon Diamond & Pearl was even announced, it was long believed that the 4th Generation Pokémon would not make it in the game. This update proves it wrong. But, whatever you choose to do, is fine by me.
 * As big as that might be for a Pokemon Wiki, this is the MarioWiki, DP. Remember the Red argument on Talk:Pokémon Trainer. While this update may be more important than others, it's an average update for this wiki, so let's keep this one out. I was really thinking as far as Dojo to put either new features (such as My Music) or any newcomer characters only. 16:31, 10 September 2007 (EDT)
 * I didn't care what anyone did, it seemed pointless to me as well. I was just stating that it seemed interesting, but, I don't really think it belongs here. Then, I just decided to explain to Cobold what the 4th Generation was. Honestly, I only think that New Characters (Both Newcomers and Veterans), new stages, new parts of the Subspace Emissary, and Mario Special Moves and Items should be allowed on this, if it is Brawl info. What do you think?
 * Should we add new stages to this Template?
 * Only Mario stages. Also, the Halberd stage is not new, it's just got its page on the Dojo now. - 07:26, 12 September 2007 (EDT)

DP - Super Smash Bros. is in the tertiary level of Importance. Only Mario related SSB info is news-worthy. -- Son of Suns
 * Then why the heck does it say Mario and Nintendo News? I was told that a Newcomer, both new and returning, were allowed on this, and now you tell me they aren't?


 * We want major Nintendo news, like "Nintendo was recently purchased by Microsoft". Ice Climbers aren't Newcomers - they are veterans.  It's just not big news. -- Son of Suns
 * Are you completely sure it isn't big news?


 * I don't think it is, especially not big enough to replace a major game that has been just released. -- Son of Suns
 * I still think it is big news. Maybe you could put the Ice Climbers on it, but still make the DK Jungle Climber part the main header of the Template. NOW I see what you mean.


 * I think that's a good compromise. Can you pick one of the other news updates and replace it? -- Son of Suns

Is it worth mentioning that Ashley's Theme is featured in Super Smash Bros. Brawl? --Grandy02 05:26, 9 October 2007 (EDT)

Our level what gets on this template from the Dojo has come quite low - from "only a newcomer" (rule by Steve) to gimmick demos delivered with the game. I don't think that's as notable as a newcomer. - 08:28, 25 January 2008 (EST)
 * That's true, but then again, I don't think any of the other upcoming Marioverse games (Like that Dr. Mario thing) have any news as of recently. So yeah, we end up filling the News with Brawl stuff because there isn't anything notewhorty to say about the other upcoming games.
 * Yeah really! The Shroom has had the same content in the upcoming games section for months! HyperToad

Why don't we add Ness or Marth. HyperToad
 * The Dojo posts them in a way that people first have to click "Yes, I want to see secret content" to see them. Thus we shouldn't put them on the Main Page. - 11:46, 8 February 2008 (EST)
