I made an edit a few weeks back that removed the "no off-stage mechanics" WRs from Brawl since they aren't considered a separate category. Then this edit was reverted with no explanation. Why should we keep constrained WR numbers that aren't their own category?

:...who cares what's a "category" and what isn't? We report on world records regardless, and if a record is only a record when excluding to offstage stuff, it should be noted. <span style="font-family:Algerian;font-size:10pt;background:#000;border:outset #083 2px;padding:1px">'''[[User:Serpent King|<span style="color:#083">Serpent</span>]] [[File:SKSig.png|12px|link=]] [[User talk:Serpent King|<span style="color:#ed0">King</span>]]'''</span> 21:41, 13 November 2017 (EST) | :...who cares what's a "category" and what isn't?

::It matters because there's no reason to note extra constrained WRs. For example we could say in Melee that "excluding strategies that don't swing the Home-Run Bat at the end, the WR is held by Yoshi at 6923.1 feet (2110.2 m)", but we don't because there's nothing special about excluding non-bat strategies. We don't say "if a record is only a record when excluding non-bat strategies, it should be noted". And similarly, there isn't anything special about excluding off-stage mechanics.
