These sections are typically the first major section of an article, especially articles chronicling multiple appearances, after the article's introduction. Appearances in the History section are organized according to the international release date of defined franchise (as opposed to general franchises), series, and independent titles, regardless of the "media" form the appearance takes. Series sub-sections are arranged by the release date of the first appearance of the subject in the series. For example, in the [[Mario]] article, the [[Mario Kart (series)|''Mario Kart'' series]] section would appear someplace after ''[[The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!]]'' section, as Mario's first appearance in a ''Mario Kart'' game occurred after his first appearance in the television series. | ||
If there is not enough content to mention every appearance in a series, the information can simply be merged under the series section, and other sub-sections need not be created. For example, if there is enough content to detail all of Mario's appearances in the ''Mario Party'' series, sub-sections for each game could be created; if there is not enough information for each game, it can all be placed under the ''Mario Party'' series section, without creating sub-sections for each individual title. The same concept applies to content from remakes: if a subject appears in the original title and its remake and there is not substantial differences in the remake, all content can be placed in the original title's sub-section. However, if there is substantial new content in the remake (such as Mario having to be rescued by Yoshi in ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]''), the remake can get its own sub-section in the overall series section, which is then organized according to release date. Episodes of a television or comic series are organized as sub-sections of the series section, as if they were a game in a video game series. | If there is not enough content to mention every appearance in a series, the information can simply be merged under the series section, and other sub-sections need not be created.
