| 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. |

:: You have a good point, but the goal of SmashWiki is to present information, not to teach novices. Certainly we should include pros' opinions on the characters - that Fox combos like crazy and Roy can't kill - but it shouldn't be the ''focus'' of the article. Novices are looking more for information about characters' backstories (which in itself is a topic that KK recommended we make a project about) and the simple aspects of their attacks - which A attacks are notable, funny statistics about their special attacks, et cetera. Pro/cons should come at the end of the article under the header of "Ness in competitive play," and should be written in paragraph form. {{User:MaskedMarth/sig}} 15:28, February 16, 2007 (GMT) | |||

lol, you're faster than me. This is what I was about to post:
"I also want to have a section of specific "issues" regarding pages, such as:
- the pro/con section of each character page, which is somewhat POV and a little offish to novices
- the overly guide-like tone to match-up articles
- and more
I might add that when I get home from school, if none of you do. Gotta go now." – MaskedMarth (t c) 18:00, January 29, 2007 (GMT)
- Agree. I hate the guides telling you what to do. – Smiddle ( Talk • Conts ) 18:03, January 29, 2007 (GMT)
