What are all of these non-Super Mario section headings listed on the page? I don't understand what's going on here. Super Mario RPG (talk) 18:46, May 10, 2024 (EDT)

Well, I started this page to draft a mock taxonomic scheme for games that I would recommend. For recurring subjects like Chain Chomps that occur outside of the Super Mario franchise, you could have a "History in the Super Mario franchise" and a "History in other games" sections rather than just one big one if having a single History section became too bloated. I don't know if that'd work, but it was just something I was toying around with here. This whole page is like a "mini sandbox" to contrast with my larger, main one.

However, I find drafting lists a bit therapeutic, and I have been pretty stressed IRL lately, so I got a bit carried away with listing non-Mario Nintendo series and franchises. I'll probably delete it soon. - Nintendo101 (talk) 19:06, May 10, 2024 (EDT)

I actually like the idea of "History in the Super Mario franchise," though History in other games I'm dubious over since it basically serves as a regurgitation (more or less) over what's covered on other NIWA wikis in greater detail. I'd propose such info be move to list pages, like how the Super Smash Bros. content was. Super Mario RPG (talk) 19:10, May 10, 2024 (EDT)

I'm glad you like it! But to be clear, I in no way drafted this with the expectation that we would be covering these titles since they are distinctly not Mario games. That's just silly and dilutes our wiki's focus. I just thought it could be referenced for subjects endemic to Super Mario that just happen to show up elsewhere from time to time (like Chain Chomp, Wart, Piranha Plant, the man himself, etc.). But again, it got gratuitous. It just became a bit fun to put together. - Nintendo101 (talk) 19:54, May 10, 2024 (EDT)
