| 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. |

Start button
The Start button (also called the Start/Pause button on the GameCube controller) refers to the small, gray button in the center of a GameCube controller, or the small, red button in the center of a Nintendo 64 controller, or the small, rectangular pad to the bottom right of the touch screen of a Nintendo 3DS. In addition, the plus button on the Wii remote, Classic Controller, Wii U GamePad, and Wii U Pro Controller can alternatively be called Start.
During a match, players may repeatedly press the Start/Pause or + button to distract the other players, to disrupt their combo timing, or otherwise mock other players after a KO or win, though this practice is considered very rude. To prevent this occurrence, pausing may be turned off.
In the Subspace Emissary, player 2 can use this button to Space Jump instead of pause. In Smash 64 and Melee, it is used to share stock.
The Start/Pause or + Buttons are used to pause most games as well as select features in the menus. The button is also used to change the background in the games' Trophy Galleries.
