| 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. |

Forum:Add an ongoing events section to the News template

This discussion is in regards to a proposed change on SmashWiki. The discussion must first meet with a consensus before it is implemented. |
I've recently been thinking about potentially adding an ongoing/current events section to the News template in similar vein to Wikipedia's. This section would essentially cover any significant events within the Smash community such as the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and any notable tournaments. I have created a mockup of what I think it should look like below:
| Ongoing events: COVID-19 pandemic, The Big House 9, Smash 'N' Splash 5 |
As you might already be able to tell, this would go under the "Latest version" section in the News template. Obviously on the mainpage it'd look a lot smaller though. This section would need to be manually edited every time a new tournament is ongoing or ends. Thoughts? Señor Mexicano (talk) 19:02, July 16, 2020 (EDT)

- Tournaments usually only last a few days, yea? Having to constantly change this for small things would be a pain in the ass. There's also the fact that we already report on major tournaments in the news template after the fact. Aidan, the Rurouni 19:19, July 16, 2020 (EDT)
- Tournaments rarely last long enough for this to be particularly worthwhile, and the pandemic stuff is obvious enough without further drawing attention to it. Miles (talk) 19:21, July 16, 2020 (EDT)
