MarioWiki:New articles: Difference between revisions

Home consoles and handheld systems created or endorsed by Nintendo receive articles. Third-party systems on which Mario series or related content appears receive articles only if that content is original and exclusive to those systems (i.e. [[Philips CD-i]]). Systems with content that only consists of ports do not receive articles and are instead mentioned in the articles of the games that are ported (i.e. Commodore 64, Atari 2600, etc.). If an original ''Mario'' game is initially released on one third-party system, but later appears on multiple third-party systems with no exclusive ''Mario'' titles of their own, only the system of origin receives an article (i.e. for ''[[Punch Ball Mario Bros.]]'', only the PC-88 gets a page).

In general, all individual game levels and stages should have a dedicated article. This includes game levels/courses/galaxies/kingdoms, 3D game missions/episodes, ''Mario Kart'' courses, ''Mario Party'' boards, sports courts and stadiums, etc. For new games, all levels and stages receive a dedicated article right from the start. For articles established before this policy was enacted, splits occur if and when the level/stage section has grown large enough to justify its own article (i.e. at least one substantial paragraph of content). When a split occurs away from a "place" article, {{tem|main}} should be used to link to the stage with a short description left behind (something like [[Delfino Plaza#Mario Power Tennis|this]]).
