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.

Ok, so I just took a look at a page on the Help Wikia detailing a certain function that would give us the capability to mark edits as "checked" for any vandalism, etc: [w:c:help:Help:Recent changes patrol|Recent Changes Patrol]. Currently, SmashWiki has this feature disabled by default, but I would like to request to have it activated. However, I'm not really sure if the rest of the community agrees. So, should we or should we not activate recent changes patrol, and what users can make use of this feature if we are to allow it?

::Honestly, most of the vandalism we get is in the form of new pages (i.e. the canceling variety and/or lots of spam) or stupid uploads.  If you think that this would help, make the case.  But I do worry that it would put an undue expectation burden on some users.  [[User:Clarinet Hawk|Clarinet Hawk]] <small>([[User talk:Clarinet Hawk|talk]] · [[Special:Contributions/Clarinet Hawk|contributions]])</small> 02:27, November 20, 2009 (UTC)

::::I don't think the wiki is actually big enough really. Any way, it takes a couple of seconds to check an article for vandalism so it isn't exactly a waste of time, just wasting another user's couple of seconds. Isn't needed. ☆<span style="font-family:Algerian;">[[User:Solar Dragon|<font color="green">The</font> <font color="red">Solar</font> <font color="blue">Dragon</font>]] <sup>([[User talk:Solar Dragon|<font color="gold">talk</font>]])</sup></span>☆ 06:25, November 20, 2009 (UTC)
