Most of the time, every relevant article can fit into a navigation template. However, sometimes random items that do not easily fit into one of the sections are left out, or in the case of RPGs, minor things like NPCs (non-playable characters) are omitted because they would make the template almost unusably large. In these cases, users must rely on categories to get to the unlisted pages. However, it should be noted that while the subjects aren't part of the templates, the templates should still be present on their articles. | Most of the time, every relevant article can fit into a navigation template.

Another situation is when one or more of the subjects has been taken out of the main game template and given their own template. For example, {{tem|NSMB2 levels}} and {{tem|MPDS minigames}} are separate from the main {{tem|NSMB2}} and {{tem|MPDS}} templates, respectively. This partitioning should generally be avoided except for levels, and other cases where including the subject would greatly increase the size of the template, as in the case of ''Mario Party'' series minigames (which are too major and require too much organization to simply put in categories like NPCs). These auxiliary game-specific templates only need to go on the articles of subjects that concern them (e.g. the ''NSMB2'' level articles) and the game page itself. Like the main game-specific templates, auxiliary templates are color-coded based on series. | Another situation is when one or more of the subjects has been taken out of the main game template and given their own template.
