#**Due to the ''[[Mario Kart 8]]''/''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe|Deluxe]]'' multi-console situation, the identifier "MK8" is used until confirmation of anything else (e.g. [[Rainbow Road (MK8)]]). | #**Due to the ''[[Mario Kart 8]]''/''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe|Deluxe]]'' multi-console situation, the identifier "MK8" is used until confirmation of anything else (e.g. [[Rainbow Road (MK8)]]). | ||

#* | #*Location identifiers start out specific but may become more generalized before moving to scenario two. For example, [[Waluigi Pinball (court)]] uses the less-specific "court" rather than something like "basketball court" because multiple sports can be played there. | ||
#*The identifier "character" is used when differentiating a character from non-character(s) which share the same name (e.g. [[Ninja (character)]]). If a character shares the same name as another character, the title of the game or series they appear in is used (e.g. [[Lily (Paper Mario)|Lily (''Paper Mario'')]]). If a character name is used more than once within the same game, a species or custom identifier is used (e.g. [[Slim (Pixl)]]). | |||
#If the same type of thing shares the same name across multiple games, use each game title as the identifiers. For example, [[World 1-1 (New Super Mario Bros. 2)|World 1-1 (''New Super Mario Bros. 2'')]] and [[World 1-1 (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)|World 1-1 (''New Super Mario Bros. Wii'')]] are both ''levels'' from different games. We cannot use "World 1-1 (level)" because we need to differentiate between games. | #If the same type of thing shares the same name across multiple games, use each game title as the identifiers.
