| 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. |

- This project is under development. Leave comments on the sub-talk page.
The Trivia Project is a project with the goal of improving the quality of trivia sections of articles throughout SmashWiki.
Trivia Section Concepts
Wikipedia has a tough no-trivia-section policy. SmashWiki allows trivia sections, but it seems that users have a tendency to throw random facts into a trivia section instead of placing it in a more appropriate place within the bulk of the article. The main goal of this project is to explain when it is appropriate for a fact to be in a trivia section, as well as to improve the existing trivia sections over the whole of the wiki.
What Makes A Good Piece of Trivia
- Noteworthiness.
- Truth.
- Detail.
What Makes A Bad Piece of Trivia
- Ambiguity.
- Irrelavance.
- Falsehoods.
Other Guidelines
- Trivia must be on the right page. A minor glitch involving, say, Aether, belongs on Aether and not on Ike (SSBB) or Ike. If it's sufficiently noteworthy, it might merit its own page.
- Trivia should only go under a trivia section if it doesn't belong in any other category of data within the article.
- Trivia sections must have more than 1 piece of trivia to be considered complete.
