As explained [[MarioWiki:New | As explained [[MarioWiki:New articles#Games|here]], all uniquely-titled games receive individual articles, including reissues (namely, ports and remakes). On these pages, Level 2 headers can be used for '''List of changes''' sections (<code><nowiki>==List of changes==</nowiki></code>), with the understanding being that said changes are between the reissue and the original game. Compilation games can also use Lv. 2 headers, however each one should specify which game it concerns. | ||
While games are sometimes renamed in the process of being translated or localized, unlike reissues, as they are still the same game, they are not given different articles. Any changes that do occur between the different versions are covered in '''Regional differences''' sections on the one article. As above, Lv. 2 headers should be used for these sections, and both types of sections can be further subdivided into specific kinds of changes using Lv. 3 headers. | While games are sometimes renamed in the process of being translated or localized, unlike reissues, as they are still the same game, they are not given different articles.

In sections dealing with version differences, changes should be grouped under these four headers, provided each type of change is found in a given reissue or localization. For example, if no level designs were changed, that particular section can be omitted, and if only one or two bullet's worth of information is present, users can use their discretion on whether to create a section or not. Conversely, if there are numerous changes regarding another specific aspect of a game, additional sections may be created, with "Audio changes" being the most likely to occur. If a given change does not fit neatly into any of the major groupings, or if there are not enough differences to warrant a specific header, the information can simply be listed at the top of the overall section. | In sections dealing with version differences, changes should be grouped under these four headers, provided each type of change is found in a given reissue or localization.
