| 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. |

I have really mixed feelings about this proposal. First off, the RfR page ≠ a policy on what a rollback'r does/how to use rollback, just as [[SW:ADMIN]] ≠ [[SW:RFA]]. Also, I disagree that rollback is not a user status; it is. The fact that one can go to [[Special:Listusers/rollback]] shows that. While it may be of lesser importance compared to "sysop" or "bureaucrat," it is still a user status with one additional tool.

:You could argue the "RfR != description" on the precedent "RfA != description", but then you could argue that rollback is so amazingly insignificant that comparing it to something important like adminship doesn't make a lot of sense. There really doesn't need to be a separate page detailing the uses of rollback and what the users with it are expected to do; it can fit right in on the RfR page. | :You could argue the "RfR != description" on the precedent "RfA != description", but then you could argue that rollback is so amazingly insignificant that comparing it to something important like adminship doesn't make a lot of sense.

If you want to argue the technicality that rollback is a user status, then I would have to yeild, because yes, rollback is technically a user status in addition to being a revert tool. However, once the word 'special' is included, then the sentence becomes true. Rollback is not special, at all. People with rollback do not immediately become outstanding community members; they just aren't vandals.

:::Outstanding, no. Noteworthy in some way? Most certainly. Rollback can be seen as a way of highlighting SmashWiki's best vandal-fighters, and even if it isn't very "special," it is still of note.
