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.

USB Gecko

USB Gecko is a cheat device for the Wii that allows for considerable modifications to Wii games. It works by loading a custom operating system onto the Wii, after which codes can be input for specific games. Contrary to popular belief, the use of USB Gecko is not completely identical in function in Brawl in comparison to Action Replay, due to Brawl's lack of a dedicated debug menu. Production of the device ended in 2010.

Initially a popular choice for users who wished to modify Brawl, advances in the hacking scene for the Wii and for Brawl have caused the device to become antiquated. The default OS loaded by USB Gecko, Gecko OS, was later made usable without the device, and it can potentially be loaded with the Smash Stack exploit or with The Homebrew Channel.
