(people have been asking to write down these unwritten rules, so here goes) |

*When displaying an image, <code><nowiki>[[Image:]]</nowiki></code> and <code><nowiki>[[File:]]</nowiki></code> have the same function. Like American vs. non-American spellings, both are equally acceptable, and making an edit simply to change this is highly discouraged. | *When displaying an image, <code><nowiki>[[Image:]]</nowiki></code> and <code><nowiki>[[File:]]</nowiki></code> have the same function.

*When placing links over text, it is recommended to only use 1 to 5 words for that link. A link should not use more than 10 words, except in very special circumstances. Turning entire sentences into links is also highly discouraged. | *When placing links over text, it is recommended to only use 1 to 5 words for that link.

==Tournament pages== | |||
*Results on a tournament page should be ordered as such: | |||
**Main events first, then side events. | |||
**Games should be ordered by release date. Non-Smash Bros. events and modded games go at the end. | |||
**Singles should be placed before doubles. | |||
*When reporting which characters a player used in a tournament, it is standard to not list every character the player chose over the tournament, but only list characters that were used to win a game in a won set. | |||
*When ordering players who are tied, the order should be as given in the tournament's official bracket, or if there is none easily available, in the order they were eliminated. | |||
