Notices
The Skill parameter has been removed from Smasher infoboxes, and in its place are the new "Best historical ranking" and "Best tournament result" parameters. SmashWiki needs help adding these new parameters to Smasher infoboxes, refer to the guidelines here for what should be included in these new parameters.
When adding results to Smasher pages, include each tournament's entrant number in addition to the player's placement, and use the {{Trn}} template with the matching game specified. Please also fix old results on Smasher pages that do not abide to this standard. Refer to our Smasher article guidelines to see how results tables should be formatted.

Let's say we have the categories A and B, where B is a subcategory of A. If both A and B are relevant to an article, should it have both, or just B? – [[User:Smiddle|Smiddle]] 10:37, 6 August 2014 (EDT)

:I think in general only the subcategory should be used; it's what we currently do for smasher articles (always using "[state/provice] smashers" instead of just "Smashers"). But it might depend on what exactly the subcategory relation is.

::Most of the articles I've added into [[:Category:Technology|Technology]] already had some of its subcategories, so maybe it's not necessary. – [[User:Smiddle|Smiddle]] 14:09, 6 August 2014 (EDT)
