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 talk:Sockpuppets
"Fresh start" sock puppets should be allowed, though strict rules have to be placed on it. Mr. Anontalk 13:24, 28 October 2012 (EDT)
Although Wikipedia's policies have no jurisdiction here, I think this has a really good list of legitimate and illegitimate uses of sockpuppets, most of which apply here. Mr. Anontalk 13:27, 28 October 2012 (EDT)
Most of these don't even apply to SmashWiki and can't apply to Smashwiki. I see no reason to give Users a "second chance" account. Think about what would have happened to the wiki if the first round of kids, basically all having been banned at some point, had made "second chance" accounts. Nothing would have changed, and it would have taken an obnoxious amount of effort to track their identities down and administer proper punishment. If a user wants a second chance, we've given them plenty. Just ask BNK, who was permabanned and for legitimate reason. He got a second chance, and he's done fine, but he didn't necessarily deserve one. The point is, second chances are the community's to grant. If you say that people deserve a second chance sock, you're saying that it is their right to have their record erased and get a second chance, and that's not how things should be done.
