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. |

The deletion policy dictates what should and shouldn't be deleted from this wiki.
Good cases
- A page which contains information that has very little chances of becoming a real page. For example, a page with just "wow i love samus so much don't you? lol" will not go anywhere.
- User pages can be deleted only if the user requests it. It is impossible to delete an account, though the user page can be deleted.
- Advertising and spam. Posting random websites or things like "Google is awful; try Brand X Search Engine free for 10 days!" doesn't help the wiki grow at all.
- Pages that are nonsense. For example, pages with titles such as "dahoshagohfoug" or "haovhauhgbovaov" have no point in being on this wiki.
- Copyright violations. Taking images/pages from a website that say they are to be used only on their sites should not be used.
- Useless or incorrect redirects. For example, one like #REDIRECT: [[That one guy in SSBB]] isn't helping anyone.
- Useless or incorrect categories, like a "poop" category.
- Useless or incorrect templates, like a "poop" template.
- Pages in another language. This wiki is English, no other languages are allowed.
Bad cases
- Stubs. Stubs, no matter how small, could one day become a very long article.
- A page that requires a cleanup. These pages are just in need of attention, they do not need to be deleted.
- Vandalism. Blanking pages and inserting random words can be reverted, unless a page was created that had an obscene or random title.
