| Cleanup of the Notable Players sections |
SmashWiki:Cleanup of the Notable Players sections
|
- Trim down the "Most historically significant players" sections of each character page, and verify that descriptions about each players' accomplishments with the character are well-written (not just a list of tournament placements).
|
Ultimate has been completed and some characters just need an update. Every Smash 64 character article has the proper format and been trimmed down, but most of the blurbs are overly basic and need to be elaborated on. Every Project M character article is listed as complete, but many of the character articles still do not have the proper formatting. Most Brawl pages, plus a few Melee and Smash 4 pages, are still not complete.

| Adding rankings sections to Smasher pages |
SmashWiki:Smasher article guidelines#Rankings
|
- Every smasher who has ever been ranked on a notable power ranking should have a section listing every notable power ranking they have been on. The section should be split into subsections by game and farther subsections by each type of ranking, while the data should be in table form, formatted as shown in the linked guidelines.

| Tournament results on Smasher pages |
SmashWiki:Smasher article guidelines#Tournament results
|
- On Smasher tournament results threads, use bold text to highlight all majors, and bold + italic text to highlight all supermajors.
- List the number of entrants in the "placement" column.
- If the results page is excessively large, Split results into a subpage, and only keep the most important tournaments on the main article.

| Standardizing Smasher pages |
SmashWiki:Smasher article guidelines
|
- Rewrite the History section of Smasher articles to be less like a news report of all the player's tournament results.

| Cleanup of tournament articles |
SW:TRIVIA (1), Talk page discussion (2)
|
- Add a "Summary of events" section to important tournaments (majors and supermajors, etc.) that provides details of important events in bracket, and facts regarding the tournament's historical significance.
- Trim down trivia sections that are excessively long, and move trivia points to other sections of the article if applicable.
- EVO 2013 is an example of a tournament page that meets these criteria.

| Smash region articles |
List of superregions + regions needing articles
|
- Create articles for all major Smash regions, detailing their competitive history, significant players, and tournaments hosted.
- Add additional links to region pages from other competitive articles, to improve their integration into the wiki.
|
Most larger regions in the US + Japan have their own articles, but some smaller regions in the US, plus international regions, still need their own articles. Non-English-speaking regions may require additional attention from residents of those countries.

| Recategorizing old tournament pages in the National and Regional tournaments categories |
Category:National tournaments + Category:Regional tournaments
|
- The "National" tournament designation has been obsoleted in favor of "Major" and "Supermajor", though most remaining pages in the National category are more befitting of the "Regional" and "Superregional" designations.
- We now categorize tournaments by game, so tournaments in the "Regional" category need to have the appropriate game-specific categories (e.g. Category:Regional tournaments (SSBM)), and the general "Regional" category should have nothing left in it other than the game-specific categories. Many of the pages are also more fitting in the newly added Superregional categories instead, so be sure to add the game-specific Superregional categories when appropriate.

| Cleanup bloated trivia sections |
SmashWiki:Trivia + Category:Articles with excessively long trivia (Note that most violating articles are not in this category at this moment)
|
- Many articles, especially character articles, have bloated trivia sections that are full of bad "trivia" that clearly violates our guidelines, while trivia sections are often poorly written too. Bad trivia needs to be removed, while any poorly written but salvageable trivia needs to be rewritten to meet our standards. Some trivia may additionally be legitimate information but is better incorporated into somewhere appropriate in the main article text.
- If editors come across violating trivia sections but are unable to clean it up at that time, they should tag the sections with {{Trivia}} to alert other editors of the violating section.
