I don't know how many times this has to be stated to people, but there is no limit to how deep the listing of results can go on tournament pages, lower placings are still valid information of interest to the wiki, people can go and write down the complete placings of the entire tourney if they want to do so. This is especially so as tournament source pages are not guaranteed to stay up forever, meaning one going to the source page to see the complete results isn't always a viable option, as all the tourney results lost from [[AIB]] going down and old Smashboard threads being deleted can attest to. The only caveat is people should stop auto-linking players who do not already have a page after they reach a point in the results where anyone who made it that far isn't likely to be notable for an article, and if the results table ends up too big, then keep a top portion of the results on the main page while putting the complete results on a linked subpage. <span style="font-family:Edwardian Script ITC; font-size:12pt">[[User:Omega Tyrant|<span style="color:forestgreen">Omega</span>]] [[User talk:Omega Tyrant|<span style="color:forestgreen">Tyrant</span>]]</span> [[Image: TyranitarMS.png ]] 05:53, January 10, 2022 (EST) | I don't know how many times this has to be stated to people, but there is no limit to how deep the listing of results can go on tournament pages, lower placings are still valid information of interest to the wiki, people can go and write down the complete placings of the entire tourney if they want to do so.

Seems pretty useless to include results that far down, I've seen plenty of supermajors/highest possible level tournaments (the vast majority) that don't even have 97ths and 129ths listed, but you do you 👍 <small>—Preceding unsigned comment added by [[User:CmonCmon|CmonCmon]] ([[User talk:CmonCmon|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/CmonCmon|contribs]]) 20:14, January 12, 2022 (EST)</small> | |||
:Yeah, because it's done on a volunteer basis. The use is that we keep the results in the event the original links are broken, which has happened before. --[[User:Meester Tweester|Meester Tweester]] ([[User talk:Meester Tweester|talk]]) 20:55, January 12, 2022 (EST) | |||
