I guess this probably came about from ''Super Mario Bros. Wonder'', but...I disagree with it being done this way.

:Sure you can DM me. I only did that change because the page mentioned website files but said nothing about game files. Given that we are creating articles based on game files, surely they should be mentioned somewhere in the policy and be a part of that hierarchy. I don't personally care where they fall; I can move the mention to number 5. --{{User:Porplemontage/sig}} 13:56, November 4, 2023 (EDT)
