:As someone who had to repeatedly revert and change edits made by new users because they keep adding random characters, I definitely support this. Just one thing I feel like we should also mention. First, if a Smasher says they would main a character, wait until they actually play that character in tournament before adding it. I feel like this is self-explanatory, but unfortunately [https://www.ssbwiki.com/index.php?title=Smasher%3AVoiD&type=revision&diff=1525371&oldid=1522103 we still have] [https://www.ssbwiki.com/index.php?title=Smasher%3AVoiD&type=revision&diff=1529935&oldid=1526656 these kinds of edits], and for some people, if it isn't outright restricted in a guideline they believe it's fine. The only exception to this would be players who are primarily YouTubers such as Alpharad or Little Z , since they seldom attend tournaments (in Alpharad's case, he only attended 2 double tournaments in ''Ultimate'', mostly with sandbagging characters). I believe in this case taking their word for it is fine.

:Question on the former mains? If that doesn't go in the infobox where do you want it, the main paragraphs? The wiki documents smash history, so if they used to main a character, especially if they were good with the character I would think we would want that infomeation. As an aside, I feel like COVID has made things more complicated with mains. I've noticed players declaring new mains but that haven't actually used them in tournaments yet (as many players don't regularly play online). So I personally don't feel comfortable switching the mains until they've used them in a decent sized tourney.
