Notices
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.

"Character & score"[edit]

This is quite ugly. Having these in the same space doesn't make sense – either the PowerRankingsRow should be modified to add support for the two separate columns, or we shouldn't use that template at all. – Smiddle 16:20, 26 December 2016 (EST)

Agreed. It may be worthwhile to make a variant of the template for these kinds of non-regional rankings. Miles (talk) 16:30, 26 December 2016 (EST)
Thing is that the template is used on like, every PR...and since the parameters aren't named, I can't even deprecate them. XL would also be of no use, because it only does simple text replacements. Serpent SKSig.png King 16:36, 26 December 2016 (EST)
Which would suggest we should make a separate but similar template rather than changing the existing one. Miles (talk) 16:38, 26 December 2016 (EST)
Seems like a sloppy shortcut to me. The other PRs (including the regionals) have the same problem, right? Serpent SKSig.png King 16:39, 26 December 2016 (EST)
Well, regional PRs don't use a "score" value in the same way these global ones do (compare 1, 2) and wouldn't need such a column. I don't see how it's sloppy to make a variant template for a variant situation that needs an additional piece of data not relevant elsewhere. Miles (talk) 17:15, 26 December 2016 (EST)
I had a go with it and it was actually easier than I thought. The rating is specified with "score=". Other uses of the template are unchanged. – Smiddle 17:34, 26 December 2016 (EST)
Maybe not the best name for the parameter, as an extra column could be used for other stuff as well, but it works. – Smiddle 17:35, 26 December 2016 (EST)
