| 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. |

Some of the Super Smash Bros. Wiki's articles may not look nice, may be poorly written, or may contain grammatical errors. However, users can fix these articles by giving them a cleanup.
What is a cleanup?
A cleanup is exactly what the name states. It is the act of cleaning an article up to improve its quality. Pages that look messy, are poorly written, or have many grammatical errors should be listed as requiring a cleanup. Users will see that these pages are in need of attendance, and will work on them to improve them.
Marking articles for cleanup
When you have found a page that requires a cleanup, you can mark it with the cleanup template. At the top of the page, simply add {{cleanup}}. Doing so will display this template at the top of the page:
|
This article or section may require a cleanup. You can discuss this issue on the talk page or edit this page to improve it. |
If the it is very large, it is advisable to discuss an article's need of a cleanup on its talk page.
