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.

Trivia

Hey, I wanted to welcome you to the wiki! Uhm, I notice you do a lot of edits specifically to page's trivia sections, and almost entirely regarding Classic Mode in Ultimate. Your edits are all good faith and written well, so this isn't a super pressing issue, but I'd recommend you'd take a look at SW:TRIVIA. Trivia is a very tricky and subjective thing to include in an article, especially when it comes to noteworthiness; typing out every little detail in each and every Classic Mode route doesn't always constitute good trivia. I'd also recommend you look around for other parts of the wiki where you might be able to help out, not just the one specific niche of Ultimate Classic Mode. Thank you for your contributions so far! ~ Serena Strawberry (talk) 01:16, July 28, 2019 (EDT)

Well... I often can't help myself as there's SO MUCH I observe that I want to add it all, but okay... :\ --NinTylo (talk) 22:40, July 28, 2019 (EDT)

That's understandable! The ultimate thing to keep in mind is that, if we noted every single little detail with the Classic Mode routes, we'd be here all day. It's best to focus on the most interesting trivia that makes you go, "Oh! That's unusual!" rather than just basic facts, y'know?
Regarding the comment you left on my own talk page, since it relates more to this conversation: it's also totally fair if that's the mode you're most focused on and the one you contribute to the most. I think it'd just be a good idea to look for other places where you might be able to contribute, because there's plenty more going on aside from that. Incomplete articles seem like they'd be your strong suit! ~ Serena Strawberry (talk) 23:40, July 28, 2019 (EDT)

Here's an ideal page to make, based on Event 4 of Melee: "Giant Yoshi". (That's the best I got, at the moment) --NinTylo (talk) 23:57, July 28, 2019 (EDT)

I'm gonna go ahead and come back to this; I recommend that you re-read SW:TRIVIA. In particular, avoid stating the obvious ("There are five characters in Classic Mode who have 'Smash' in their title names!"), making tenuous connections ("King K. Rool being unlocked in Link's Classic Mode table is a reference to King Bulblin!"), or overly-narrow superlatives ("Bowser and Sonic are the only two fighters who fight metal opponents in Classic Mode, and both of them are fought on city stages!"). Trivia needs to be noteworthy, clear, and verifiable. Simply adding something because we can include a list or it might be a reference just isn't enough. ~ Serena Strawberry (talk) 21:39, October 3, 2019 (EDT)

I apologize, but I'm just trying my hardest to make interesting connections for trivia. So really, I'm just coming up with as much as I can for necessary trivia, even if Classic Mode is the mode I've observed most... --NinTylo (talk) 21:44, October 3, 2019 (EDT)

A general tip, if you are trying very hard to think of trivia, it's most likely not good trivia and violates our guidelines. CookiesCnC Signature.pngCreme 21:45, October 3, 2019 (EDT)
