| 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. |

Something I've been thinking about is changing the time limit for when these sections can be added to newly released characters and then expanded, as I believe the current time limit of six months before the sections can be created and one year before their limit is expanded to ten players is too lenient. It has been over two years since Ultimate's DLC concluded, yet of the 12 DLC characters, only {{SSBU|Joker}}, {{SSBU|Min Min}}, and {{SSBU|Steve}} even have more than five players, and none are at the ten player limit, while only Steve would threaten to hit that limit anytime soon. Additionally when observing these sections getting revised, I have repeatedly noticed how players that predominantly got their results pre-Covid are determined to not be historically significant and so are cut from these sections, even without necessarily having new players taking their spots, while players that were only playing a character for the first few months of Ultimate almost never stick after these revisions (with only extreme examples like {{Sm|MKLeo}} remaining in {{SSBU|Ike}}'s MHSP section). Seeing how the competitive history of Ultimate is shaping up, and how the userbase has appropriately embraced the higher standards these sections demanded after the initial hesitance when cutting these sections down, I want to better future proof for when the next Smash game (and its DLC) inevitably arrives by proposing the following revisions: | Something I've been thinking about is changing the time limit for when these sections can be added to newly released characters and then expanded, as I believe the current time limit of six months before the sections can be created and one year before their limit is expanded to ten players is too lenient.
