For the notable players section, I believe there should be something specifying using online results or adding Wi-Fi warriors. Personally, I don't think either should be added since, because of input lag and the like, the online metagame is much different than the offline metagame, which the notable player section spotlights.

A checkmark symbol, for places like yes/no columns on tables. This is a closed discussion about an accepted proposed change on SmashWiki. It remains for archival purposes.

I have been working on a much needed update to the Notability policy that would effectively add notability guidelines for things other than just people. This includes tournaments, power rankings, and teams.

The draft can be viewed here. I believe it's pretty much complete, but if you notice anything that should probably be changed, feel free to explain in the comments.

  1. Support. This is a great proposal that pretty much cover most if not all for the notability guide. The only things I can think of are the Braacket for power rankings (which is rare because most of the power rankings sources are graphics) and guiding users not to make tournament pages for lesser known mods (which usually shouldn't happen anyways).
