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)

: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)

::"''Seems pretty useless to include results that far down''"
 
::Results are results, it's factual information that can be of interest to readers, there is no harm in having more complete results on the wiki, and where one thinks the "cutoff" with documenting results should be is arbitrary. Plus like I said, source pages aren't guaranteed to stay up forever, so complete results ''should'' be documented here as otherwise they can become permanently lost if they aren't.
 
::"''I've seen plenty of supermajors/highest possible level tournaments (the vast majority) that don't even have 97ths and 129ths listed''"
 
::Other tournaments not having results go that far is only because no one has wrote down those results yet (it takes work after all to write down the results and wiki editing is done a volunteer basis), not because those pages were denied from having deeper results. On a wiki if some page has content not up to par with what another page has, you bring that content up to par, you don't delete content from the other page. So if you want those supermajor pages to have results as deep or deeper than what Kasarabi 6 has on its page, then expand the results on those pages.
 
::"''but you do you 👍''"
 
::The snarky attitude won't get you far here, do not remove legitimate results again. <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 ]] 01:56, January 13, 2022 (EST)
