:Based on Cookies and Creme's edit summary, it isn't possible to know if a tournament is a major or not until it happens/concludes. Adding tournaments on the assumption that it will be a major will just lead to extra edits to remove them when they turn out to not be majors. We do have a category for upcoming events ([[:Category:Upcoming events]]) if that helps. --[[User:CanvasK|CanvasK]] ([[User talk:CanvasK|talk]]) 13:31, July 23, 2022 (EDT) | :Based on Cookies and Creme's edit summary, it isn't possible to know if a tournament is a major or not until it happens/concludes.

:The purpose of the page is to list what tournaments on the wiki are considered majors and supermajors. It is not supposed to be like a TV guide as to what tournaments you should watch, which if I were to be honest, you should know through literally any other site that has a ''Smash'' community.

:The "majorness" of a tournament can be forecast in advance based on prize pool, previous tournament history (ex: CEO, Momocon, Super Smash Con) etc. If we want to keep it simple, include only Gold / Platinum SWT tournaments. Don't remove useful functionality / features in the name of nomenclature. <small> | :The "majorness" of a tournament can be forecast in advance based on prize pool, previous tournament history (ex: CEO, Momocon, Super Smash Con) etc. If we want to keep it simple, include only Gold / Platinum SWT tournaments.

::There are many Gold/Platinum events that are not majors (such as Ultra Hard Tournament, ESPECIALLY in Melee's case); likewise, there are many non-Gold/Platinum events that are majors (most notably GENESIS 8). This page is not intended to be used as a tournament calendar; we have similar rules set in place for the "List of largest Smash tournaments" page as well.

:::Yeah, {{Trn|Virtuocity Smash Open 2022}}, {{Trn|Ultra Hard}}, and {{Trn|Ultimate Tropical Arena}} are certainly majors, and I for sure am excited for {{Trn|Uprising 2022}}, the first ever ''Melee'' major in Asia since 2005.

:My point is we can enforce standards for the inclusion of upcoming events or gut that functionality which seems like a Bad Thing™ from a user experience / SEO perspective for anyone who has come to expect that functionality from this page. Maybe a separate page for this would make sense -- but the Upcoming Events category page doesn't currently serve that purpose. Being the SSB Wiki site with no page for upcoming events seems like a kind of glaring feature limitation. Just trying to propose an alternative solution that doesn't involve the permanent removal of useful information. <small> | :My point is we can enforce standards for the inclusion of upcoming events or gut that functionality which seems like a Bad Thing™ from a user experience / SEO perspective for anyone who has come to expect that functionality from this page.

::There is no useful "functionality" in using this page to speculate what upcoming tournaments will be majors ([[SmashWiki is not speculative]]), and the wiki's purpose is to document '''what has already happened''', end of. If you want a "calendar", there are better places explicitly made for that purpose as you were already told, such as this [https://www.reddit.com/r/smashbros/wiki/events reddit page] and this [https://twitter.com/smashcalendar Twitter account], that also has its own website (can't link it here as its triggering the spam filter, but the account links it in its bio).
