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:Page creation rights
From SmashWiki, the Super Smash Bros. wiki

Forums: Index → Watercooler → Page creation rights
So recently a lot of newer users have been wondering why they are unable to create page or upload images. The reason for this is because page creation is restricted to autoconfirmed users only. Now, this was a necessary measure there for a while (and this was not the case when I first joined SW a year or so ago), but now, with Smash 4 done and over with, I think that we could possibly put it back to regular old users (Not IPs) without too many issues. Anyway, I wanted to see what you all had to say, so discuss here. Serpent King 21:19, 18 July 2016 (EDT)

Oppose
- Oppose; the number of new pages we need is generally few, and it's not such an excessive obstacle to legitimate editors to warrant opening up the vandalism opportunities. Miles (talk) 23:35, 18 July 2016 (EDT)
- Oppose per Miles. John

Neutral
- Neutral AF. I don't have a strong opinion. On one hand, we have new people who want to make themselves known in the wiki. On the other hand, we risk people spamming recent changes with their user pages, and even if this means they'll get probated, I don't like the idea. That's why I am neutral. --

- Support easing restrictions, oppose completely removing restrictions. While there may be fewer potential cases of vandalism in the coming months, the risk has not completely vanished. In 2011/2012ish, for instance, we had a repeat vandal constantly recreate a page on Geno, to the point where OT eventually salted the page.
- The problem is that the upload permission requires the create page permission in order to work and there doesn't seem to be a way around that. Or did you mean something else by easing restrictions? Serpent

- Was looking into lowering the requirements for autoconfirmed. 10 edits + 7 days is a bit excessive now, imo. Maybe reduce it to 3 edits and 2 days, or something similar.
