Talk:List of DAT IDs in Super Smash Flash 2

Page might need to be fixed.

Far from being "pretty much a useless page", I think it could be a very helpful reference for... you know. Especially since music files have their own separate DAT entries now. That's more benign you-know-what-ing that would help to have a reference for without looking through everything else. BaffleBlend (talk) 15:09, June 1, 2017 (UTC)

175: Drake - Hotline Bling
Why is Drake - Hotline Bling doing in DAT ID? Is that a joke? If so, then where is it?

Possible separate page
This page is pretty bloated the way it is now, given that there's a ton of demos to cover and each has their own unique DAT assignments. While I do think having them documented is important, I think a page covering this sort of thing should really only include the DAT files for the most recent revision of the game.

To compensate, I'd like to propose separating the DAT files into separate pages. We could give each demo its own DAT page, but that might be excessive, so if that doesn't work we could simply make one subpage for all previous demos.

Split proposal

 * Support: Simply put, this page is way longer than it needs to be, and it obviously has the potential to get even longer over time. While I do think preserving the DAT files for older demos is important, the current revision should naturally be front and center and I don’t think someone should have to go scrolling through years of legacy DAT IDs just to find it. I would probably be fine with just making a second page to dump all the old ones into, though I’d also be okay with making subpages for each respective demo version, but either way I think this needs to change.

 * Support: I agree with making a second page to dump all the old DATs. Gregory  SSF2_Zero_Suit_Samus_head.pngSSF2_Luffy_head.png Naruto   21:01, August 24, 2020 (UTC)
 * Support: I also think it's preferable to split this article, but not into two pages, instead, subpages referring to each version (v0.8, v0.9 and Beta) with the general domain becoming a disambiguation page. --Ak-Un.PNG BYLL  EL  WYLL  Ak-Un.PNG 22:35, August 24, 2020 (UTC)
 * I'm moving forward with this, but I will say I'm a little hesitant to lump all of Beta together into one page. We already have separate pages for 1.1 and 1.2 anyways, and I feel like 1.2 alone has enough incremental differences to fill a whole page. CrazyNaut (talk) 01:27, August 25, 2020 (UTC)

Main page's format
I don't like how both the main page and the Beta 1.2 one possess the same DAT list. I believe the main page should behave like a disambiguation page, removing the DAT list section. That way, we don't have to update this page every time a new version releases. Gregory  Naruto   13:42, September 2, 2020 (UTC)


 * Late response, but I think the main DAT page should stay the way it is. Although both the main page and Beta 1.2 page possess the same list, the former will become obsolete over time, and I see the latter as more so having the DAT list for the entirety of 1.2.4, for instance, whereas the former represents whatever the most recent revision of that is. And I think having the current DAT list front and center on the main page is pretty important, the legacy ones are a pain to rummage through and I think the most up-to-date list deserves better treatment than that. As far as having to update the page every time, that seems like something we should just learn to commit to doing instead of throwing in the towel like that, we'll have to do it for the 1.2 page anyways.
