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.

Japanese hiragana above kanji[edit]

I did some digging regarding the Japanese characters above other characters and came across Ruby characters, also called "furigana". Ruby is supported by most modern browsers that use HTML5. For Gomoku Narabe Renju it would be 五目ごもくならべ連珠れんじゅ.

You can use the following markup to achieve it:

All tags opened and closed:
<ruby><rb>五目</rb><rt>ごもく</rt></ruby>ならべ<ruby><rb>連珠</rb><rt>れんじゅ</rt></ruby>

Foregoing the base tag (<rb>):
<ruby>五目<rt>ごもく</rt></ruby>ならべ<ruby>連珠<rt>れんじゅ</rt></ruby>

Foregoing the closing tags (The syntax highlighter will yell, but it still works):
<ruby><rb>五目<rt>ごもく</ruby>ならべ<ruby><rb>連珠<rt>れんじゅ</ruby>

You can read more about the markup here. --CanvasK (talk) 16:57, May 30, 2020 (EDT)

A few NIWA wikis also have furigana templates, like WiKirby. I think there was a proposal to add one to SmashWiki sometime in the past? If not, it might be a good time to bring it up again. ~ Serena Strawberry (talk) 17:11, May 30, 2020 (EDT)
I have wikicode on a separate, personal wiki that uses furigana. I could potentially run it by people and see what they think. Aidan, the Rurouni 22:40, May 30, 2020 (EDT)
(edit conflict) I wasn't able to see it on the proposal pages sadly, but with the langtable proposal getting a lot of support I imagine a furigana template would be useful for that.
Also, Turtle according to the link I posted this is also valid way:
<ruby><rb>五目<rt>ごもく<rb>ならべ<rt><rb>連珠<rt>れんじゅ</ruby>
By having an empty <rt> tag you can have characters without annotations and also without needing to close and reopen a <ruby> tag. Though this all doesn't matter if the template gets implemented. --CanvasK (talk) 22:47, May 30, 2020 (EDT)
