* ''moremain'' = If the smasher has more than two mains, this parameter can be used to add more to their mains entry.

* ''other'' = Another notable character the smasher currently plays in tournament (or in the case of retired players, that they were still actively playing at the time of retirement). Note that for smasher articles, this entry should not be for any random character that the smasher ever touches, but only for legitimate [[secondaries]] that they actually play in bracket sets with success against players that are of at least reasonable threat. This means the character gets used with some sort of regularity, the player wins tournament sets with the character, and the skill gaps in those winning sets aren't so large as for it to be deemed [[sandbagging]]. | * ''other'' = Another notable character the smasher currently plays in tournament (or in the case of retired players, that they were still actively playing at the time of retirement).

* ''retired'' = A character that the smasher used to play in tournaments, but no longer plays.

* ''Ranking'' = The smasher's ranking on the most recent largest-scale power ranking they have been ranked on for each game.

* ''Best ranking'' = The smasher's best ranking they ever achieved in their ''Smash'' career for each game. "Best ranking" will prioritize each game's recognized global ranking above all else, and if the smasher has never made a global ranking, then the next largest scale PR the smasher has been ranked on should be used. Additionally, the highest relative ranking the player achieved on the relevant ranking should generally be listed (e.g. {{Sm|Mango}}'s 1st on the [[2014 SSBMRank]] should be listed as his best ranking, even if one can argue that Mango's top 5 rankings on more recent SSBMRanks are technically more impressive from achieving them against stronger competition). In cases where the player has matched their highest rank through multiple iterations of the relevant ranking, then the more recent ranking should be listed as their best ranking (e.g. Mango was also 1st on the [[2013 SSBMRank]], but since 2014 SSBMRank is more recent, his 1st ranking on it will be listed instead). | * ''Best ranking'' = The smasher's best ranking they ever achieved in their ''Smash'' career for each game.

* ''Best result'' = The smasher's best tournament result they ever achieved in their ''Smash'' career for each game. Majors should generally be prioritized, but non-majors can be listed if the player never attended a major for the given game or never | * ''Best result'' = The smasher's best tournament result they have ever achieved in their ''Smash'' career for each game. Majors should generally be prioritized, but non-majors can be listed if the player has never attended a major for the given game or has never done particularly well at one. What is listed for a player's best result should not just be based on their highest sheer placing, but also factor in the tournament's prestige and the quality of the player's wins/losses at the tournament. In difficult cases, ranking TTSes can be referenced to determine the value of the player's results, and in cases where the smasher has multiple best results that are of roughly equal value, the most recent result should be used, or the smasher in question can decide which of the results they're most proud of. | ||
