The Wikipedia template creates a box that links to the appropriate page on Wikipedia. This template is not original to the Super Mario Wiki, but rather was originally created for use on Wikitionary and has since been used on many other specialty wikis such as our own. The template is for use on articles which exceed our scope. For example, Kirby only makes several appearances in the Mario franchise, but makes many more in his own series. This allows interested readers to expand their knowledge further. Another possible use is on articles for subjects which are fictional versions of non-fictional subjects. For example, one could place the template on both Earth and banana. However, the template should not be placed on an article that falls entirely in our scope, such as Mario or Super Mario Galaxy.

The template should be placed directly underneath {{NIWA}}, if present. If not, it should be placed at the top of the external links section if it exists, otherwise it should be placed at the top of the last main section (immediately underneath the h2 heading).

How to use

To use, simply type the following on the article page:

{{Wikipedia}}

Please keep in that in mind with articles like Banjo, that will link you to the musical instrument. In this case, you could write:

{{Wikipedia|Banjo-Kazooie (video game)}}

Writing that would link you to the video game.
