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.

Is there any template that allows you to substitute something "back" into a template? This is for allowing you to type ~~~~ and get a templated sig. Smiddle (talk) 05:59, 26 December 2010 (EST)

I don't see this being possible. Toomai Glittershine ??? 10:18, 26 December 2010 (EST)
Yes it is. If I remember correctly, you create a template saying {{{{{1}}}}}. Let's call the template A, and the template that you want to un-substitute B. Then, all you have to do is {{SUBST:A|B}}, resulting in {{B}}. Judging by your reply, I am assuming that it doesn't exist and I'm creating it (just to be sure, I searched through Category:Templates).

...what??? If I'm understanding what you wrote it's the most pointless thing ever; you can just copy the code from the template and put it where you want it. Toomai Glittershine ??? The Emissary 16:29, 26 December 2010 (EST)
Some sigs, like mine, take up an assload of space in terms of code. This template makes it possible to display just "{{User:Smiddle/sig}}" instead of aforementioned assload, while it still only requires you to type ~~~~. Smiddle ( TalkConts ) 18:58, 26 December 2010 (EST)
