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.

Maybe something like Shiek can be an exception then. I don't want redirects like "Zeor Suit Samus" or "Like ike". Gunna include a thing about exceptions on the policy. <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> 17:45, 7 May 2017 (EDT)

== Plurals ==
Are plural redirects yay or nay? I ask this because Disaster Flare recently deleted 2 redirects that were pluralizations. [[User:Alex Parpotta|Alex Parpotta]] ([[User talk:Alex Parpotta|talk]]) 15:58, 30 May 2017 (EDT)
:Plural redirects are usually a no because the syntax <nowiki>[[egg]]s</nowiki> can basically fake them for links, and there's no reason to type "eggs" in the search box when you can just type "egg". But for non-additive plurals, like "trophy" vs "trophies", they're okay.

What about cases like [[Hacks]], [[Items]], [[Rumors]], [[Stickers]], [[Custom moves]], or [[Stale Moves]]? What in the world does "easily searchable" mean? <small>---Preceding unsigned comment added by [[Special:MyPage|you]]. Or maybe [[User:DatNuttyKid|DatNuttyKid]].</small>  20:55, 1 June 2017 (EDT)
:Why don't you try actually asking nicely instead of being a dick about it? I meant that someone could feasibly search for the plural of those words and come up with nothing if the redirects are deleted. Some are pointless, like peanuts and apples, but others are not. <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> 21:06, 1 June 2017 (EDT)
:Also Rumors points to "List of Rumors" so it makes sense. Stale Moves is what Melee calls the bonus that you get, and Items is in the side bar. <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> 21:08, 1 June 2017 (EDT)
::oookay, if you consider "what in the world" as "being a dick", you need to get out more, lol
::But how do you actually define it? What actually makes "Stickers" more feasible to be searched than "Peanuts"? That's extremely subjective. You can't possibly believe that that's an enforceable rule. <small>---Preceding unsigned comment added by [[Special:MyPage|you]].

:::I can because "Peanut" is the name of the item. "Sticker" is the name of the item but "Stickers" is the name of the corresponding trophy. Also there are many different stickers, there is only one peanut. <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> 21:36, 1 June 2017 (EDT)
::::Ayyyy, if it isn't Nutta himself!! Sorry but I gotta agree with SK. Plus, "he needs to get out more"?
