The Super Mario Wiki is a database | The Super Mario Wiki is a database focused on all aspects of the Marioverse, including spin-off series of the primary Mario series. This wiki not only covers the Mario series, but also the Donkey Kong series, the Wario series, and the Yoshi series, which have emerged as own distinct franchises in the greater Marioverse. Additionally, the Banjo and Conker series have also spun-off the Donkey Kong series, though articles focusing on them are not to be created. Cross-over games, such as the ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'' series, are also covered here, but from the perspective of the Marioverse. | ||

There are no penalities for making articles in one series than another. However, we do encourage more editing in the primary focus articles than the secondary focus articles, as this is the Super Mario Wiki. Also, there are no article limits for any area of focus. However, different spin-off series must be categorized in series specific major categories, while articles related to the primary Mario series must be placed in the primary categories. Of course, any deliberate attempt to undermine the seperation of franchises in this wiki will be dealt with. | |||

Note that some articles will be placed in multiple universe sub-categories. For example, Wario is both in the "Characters" Category, as he appears in the primary Mario games, and the "Wario Characters" category. Also note that articles about the main Mario series (i.e. articles of primary importance) should be placed in the unspecified, generic categories. For example, Luigi should be placed in the "Characters" category, not a "Mario Characters" category.

All other categories should remain as they are and not be divided into specific series sub-categories. If you believe any other categories should be added to this list, please post a comment on the [[MarioWiki talk: Importance Policy|talk page]]. | |||
