MarioWiki:Coverage: Difference between revisions

The Super Mario Wiki is an encyclopedia focused on all aspects of the ''Super Mario'' franchise. What distinguishes this wiki from other video game wikis is that we not only cover our primary franchise, but also all other series and games which have emerged as their own distinct franchises. Crossover games, such as the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series, are also covered here, but from the perspective of the ''Super Mario'' franchise. This guideline is here to help users determine what content is and is not acceptable for inclusion in the Super Mario Wiki.

Based on [[MarioWiki:Canonicity]], there is no "canon" regarding the [[Super Mario (franchise)|''Super Mario'' franchise]]. Since there is no canon, we cover any "[[Mario]]-related" media product given some sort of official authorization by [[Nintendo]] at some point in time, be it through the Official Nintendo Seal or a contract with another company, etc. All content from such sources is allowed on this wiki, without speculating on what content from what source is "more official" than other content from other sources. As Nintendo has never established an official canon regarding the ''Super Mario'' franchise, we cannot say newer or older Nintendo games, media, content, policies, etc. are more "official" than the others. They are all essentially as "official" as each other.
