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.

==This Is Entirely Unnecessary...==

... for the following reasons:

  • If a page is subject to repeated vandalism, it will be protected.
  • If a user or IP vandalises a page several times, or if they severely vandalise, they will be blocked.
  • If a user or IP thinks that a page should be protected, they can request it on the article's talk page or on the Administrators' noticeboard.
  • If a user or IP thinks that another user or IP should be blocked, they can request in on the Administrators' noticeboard.

I would also like to point out that SmashWiki does not have "Staff" - Wikia has Staff, we have Administrators and Bureaucrats. Anyway, I don't like the idea of a template that speaks for "The SmashWiki Staff/Administrators/Bureaucrats" as it implies that the user or IP placing the template on the page is speaking on behalf of the whole wiki.

I would like to delete this template - if you believe that its existence is justified, please give your reasons below. Thanks, PenguinofDeath 16:40, September 8, 2009 (UTC)

Honestly, I think this template will just encourage vandals to target the page. Clarinet Hawk (talk · contributions) 19:49, September 8, 2009 (UTC)
Dumbest idea I've seen in about 6 weeks. --Warwick 19:53, September 8, 2009 (UTC)
All pages are under a "VandalWatch" already. Besides, vandals don't listen anyway...they practically beg to be banned.L33t Silvie I see wat u did thar...
Agreed. Miles (talk) 22:54, September 8, 2009 (UTC)


I have deleted the template for the reasons given above. I am not going to delete this talk page as it should be archived in case the issue ever arises again. PenguinofDeath 23:45, September 8, 2009 (UTC)
