::::::The three you mentioned are part of the ''Super Mario'' franchise, that's true. And ''Tetris Attack'', a puzzle game, is as much of a ''Yoshi'' game as ''Super Mario World 2''. Putting every game installment under a single "franchise" heading is the history sections conflating franchises with series, which i deem a problem. Why put ''Yoshi'' puzzle game, the [[Super Scope]] game ''Yoshi's Safari'', ''Yoshi's Island'', and miscellaneous platforming games under a single heading that makes them all seem strung together somehow? Yoshi's Woolly World is platforming, so it's closer by that merit but Yoshi (the puzzle game) is far from any sort of association to ''Yoshi's Island'', which it predates, and is an entirely different genre. It would be inconsistent if the ''Super Mario'' franchise's series gets sub-sections but not like Yoshi's Island or Wario Land, like it's being decided subjectively of how to find information per game series. And a Donkey Kong franchise's 4-equal sign headings could theoretically look like: <code>====Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest====</code>, <code>====Donkey Kong Land 2====</code>, <code>====Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!====</code>, since that's the chronological release order of Donkey Kong platforming games from two separate series. Or what about Wario's: <code>WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$!</code>, <code>Wario World</code>, <code>WarioWare: Twisted!</code> This means either way, there will be cases where things will look disjointed for varying reasons. The way History sections are sorted are not a reflection of the wiki scope.

===Clarify articles about subjects which appear in a certain standalone campaign=== | |||
[[User:Nightwicked Bowser|Nightwicked Bowser]] informed me that I must make a proposal before I can add <code> - <nowiki>''[[<campaign>]]''</nowiki></code> to an article that has at least one appearance in a standalone campaign, so I had to start over by making a proposal where there's a possibility to clarify the appearances of certain ''Super Mario'' elements that appear in a standalone adventure campaign included in a certain game in content (i.e.: infoboxes, sections listing appearances). | |||
For example, the [[Lake Lapcat]] article has an infobox whose first appearance parameter reads "''[[Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury]]'' ([[List of games by date#2021|2021]])", which makes no sense. Once the proposal gets approved, then that parameter will read "''[[Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury]]'' - ''[[Bowser's Fury]]'' ([[List of games by date#2021|2021]])". Here is another example where the [[King Bob-omb]] article has a section containing a list of his appearances, with a title parameter reading "''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey]]''". Once the proposal gets approved, then that parameter will read "''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey]]'' - ''[[Bowser Jr.'s Journey]]''". That way, we'll know which campaign that at least one certain subject appears in (i.e.: ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]'' - ''[[Minion Quest: The Search for Bowser]]'' for subjects exclusive to ''Minion Quest: The Search for Bowser''; ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey]]'' - ''[[Bowser Jr.'s Journey]]'' for subjects exclusive to ''Bowser Jr.'s Journey''; ''[[Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury]]'' - ''[[Bowser's Fury]]'' for subjects exclusive to ''Bowser's Fury''). | |||
