Keep a maximum of four items on this list at once. Three is preferred if news is scarce. Five is too much.

Also, watch the <noinclude> on the last item. It needs to stay attached to the last item, with no spacing.

Finally, note some ground rules for what kind of stuff is newsworthy:

  • Nintendo news relating to the Smash Bros. series.
  • Most updates/patches.
  • Results of major tournaments (e.g. regionals or larger).
  • Major community news, such as a new official SmashBoards tier list, top-in-world player announces retirement, etc.
  • In the case of reveals relating to upcoming games:
    • Playable character, stage, and item reveals are.
    • New modes probably are; old modes probably not.
    • Assist character reveals usually are (e.g. Assist Trophies and Pokémon).
    • New elements of previously known things generally are not.

All news items should have at least one link, preferably to the source of the news. News items should only be merged if they're strongly related.
