'''Support''' It would be interesting to see how this turns out. Rankings/tournaments are more objective than just "high level" or the like. The only issue would be in regards to implementation (there's a lot of smasher pages, "best tournament" could be subjective, but still less so than skill level). It probably would be best to have some policy, such as where majors are favored unless there is a regional that clearly passes them, or something like that.

'''Oppose''' I don't think this will solve our problems and will lead to a lot of subjective arguments in editing. The skill level is a straightforward way for casual readers to know the rough skill level of a player without having to know about tournaments, or how stacked the specific tournament was, so it should at least be kept in the infobox. Trying to determine what a player's best tournament run will be very subjective for a lot of players, and might lead to more arguments than before. Not only do we have to gauge something like if winning a superregional or a certain run at a major is more valuable, we will have to evaluate the best tournament run for several players for every single tournament we add. If a historical ranking or tournament is notable for a player, that can be mentioned in the introduction of the article. Working on the skill level parameter, like introducing borderline top level, would be a better approach. --[[User:Meester Tweester|Meester Tweester]] ([[User talk:Meester Tweester|talk]]) 08:55, February 13, 2024 (EST) | |||
