This is something that [[Template talk:Ccsc#Can we remove smashers from this template?|has been mentioned before]], but was never decided upon. Competitive nav templates (such as [[Template:Ccsc]]) serve very little purpose and their grouping is usually loosely based on location of the tournament, crew, etc. We have already decided that individual smashers don't belong on these, but I would like to be rid of them completely. <span style="font-family:Monotype Corsiva; font-size:12pt">[[User:Serpent King|<span style="color:#083; text-shadow:0px 0px 3px #0b7">'''Serpent'''</span>]] [[File:SKSig.png|16px|link=]] [[User talk:Serpent King|<span style="color:#ed0; text-shadow:0px 0px 3px #fd0">'''King'''</span></span>]] 20:18, 27 February 2016 (EST)

I'm late on this, but I have to say this was a great call. Those templates were always tremendously annoying when I would handle unnotable players, while providing little value and not having any sort of upkeep whatsoever. I'm not sure why I never actually tried getting them formally removed before.
Regarding easing navigation between subjects of a single region, I always intended to make articles about each Smash region, that covered its history, its subregions, its players, its tournaments, and its power rankings, though it was something I never got around to actually implementing. These articles would probably suffer from upkeep issues as well like most competitive-related things here, though unlike a template, such issues would be self-contained and wouldn't affect the rest of the wiki beyond maybe the occasional single unneeded red link that could be easily removed. <span style="font-family:Edwardian Script ITC; font-size:12pt">[[User:Omega Tyrant|<span style="color:forestgreen">Omega</span>]] [[User talk:Omega Tyrant|<span style="color:forestgreen">Tyrant</span>]]</span> [[Image: TyranitarMS.png ]] 10:40, 15 April 2016 (EDT)
