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. |

SmashWiki:Autoconfirmed users
Autoconfirmed users are defined as users who have had an account on the SmashWiki for at least one week and have made at least 10 edits. New users gain certain rights upon becoming Autoconfirmed. This rank was established on February 21, 2007 as a way to prevent vandals from joining and immediately moving pages en masse. On November 23, 2009, the restrictions were increased in response to a new wave of vandalism, this time centering around the massive uploading of spam images and the creation of new pages.
Some rights gained upon being Autoconfirmed at the end of the one week waiting period include:
- Editing semi-protected pages
- Uploading files from a URL
- Uploading new versions of files
FAQ
Q. What rights do new users have?
A. New users have all the same rights as Autoconfirmed users, except for the three rights listed above.
Q. Can a user become Autoconfirmed without making any edits?
A. No. You must make at least 10 edits and they can be on any type of page.
Q. Is there a way to become Autoconfirmed more quickly?
A. No, users have to wait for a week to pass.
Q. Do users have to be Autoconfirmed to be promoted to Administrator?
A. Well, kind of. If a user hasn't been on the wiki for at least a week, chances are that that user isn't experienced enough to be promoted.
Q. Can users bypass autoconfirm?
A. No, every user has to go through the same process.
