In addition to images, the Super Mario Wiki has the ability to upload media files of the following types:


* Audio: [[wikipedia:Ogg|ogg/oga]], [[wikipedia:MP3|mp3]], [[wikipedia:WAV|wav]], [[wikipedia:FLAC|flac]]
* Audio: [[wikipedia:MP3|mp3]], [[wikipedia:WAV|wav]], [[wikipedia:Ogg|ogg]]/[[wikipedia:Vorbis|oga]], [[wikipedia:MIDI|mid/midi]], [[wikipedia:FLAC|flac]], [[wikipedia:Opus (audio format)|opus]]
* Video: [[wikipedia:Ogg|ogg/ogv]], [[wikipedia:MP4 file format|mp4]], [[wikipedia:QuickTime File Format|mov]], [[wikipedia:WebM|webm]]
* Video: [[wikipedia:MP4 file format|mp4]], [[wikipedia:Ogg|ogg]]/[[wikipedia:Theora|ogv]], [[wikipedia:MPEG-1|mpg]]/[[wikipedia:MPEG-2|mpeg]], [[wikipedia:WebM|webm]]


These formats are allowed because they are either [[wikipedia:Open file format|royalty-free and open]], they permit free file distribution, or their patent has expired. All of the above formats are acceptable for use on the wiki, and once a media file has been uploaded, there is never a need to convert it for reupload in a different format. Files uploaded with a ".ogg" extension should be moved to either ".oga" or ".ogv" (depending if it is an audio or video file, respectively).
MP3 and MP4 are the preferred formats for brand new uploads, but once a media file has already been uploaded, there is never a need to convert it for reupload in a different format. Files uploaded with a ".ogg" extension should be moved to either ".oga" or ".ogv" (depending if it is an audio or video file, respectively).
 
Note that the Ogg container is not natively supported by [[wikipedia:iOS|iOS]] devices, and [[wikipedia:Theora|Ogg Theora]] video has been phased-out by major browsers. For compatibility purposes, consider using a format such as MP3 or MP4 for new uploads.
