==Organization==
This is the first of (hopefully) many templates that make navigating through the many articles about ''Mario'' species much easier. This Koopa template includes all the species and subspecies that have artciles or are mentioned in artciles of similar species here on ''Super Mario Wiki'', organized into families. I have expanded on these divisions on my [[User:Walkazo/Koopas|Koopas page]].
Shouldn't Mario be under the Donkey Kong series? Without the Donkey Kong series we would have no Mario series today. =D -- {{User|Son of Suns}} Joking of course. I actually think the best way to think of everything is not as levels with "parent" and "children" series but as a web of connections between ''individual'' media products (this page does not get into the cartoons, comics, etc.). It's a tangled web for sure, but that's what makes the Mario franchise so intriguing!! Unlike other franchises, Mario makes no sense. I love it!! Haha. =)
:Neat, no one's ever commented on one of my sub-talk pages before ^_^ You have to realize that I had no prior planning, and everything in that essay came off the top of my head! I specialize in the video games only, I'm afraid, but even that is a mass of contractions unto itself. I know I often bemoan the fact that ''Mario'' is the most nonsensical series I've ever tried to make sense of, but you're right: that's what makes it so ridiculously entertaining!

::Totally.  I love telling people Princess Peach was raised by elderly Hammer Bros. and Mario was born from a giant peach.  It's all true, from a certain point of view. =P -- {{User|Son of Suns}}
Anyway, once I wrap up my Koopa Taxonomy project I will start making templates for other large and/or confusing familial grouos (such as [[Shy Guy]]s, or "[[Beanbean Kingdom|Beanified]]"/"[[Shroob|Shroobified]]" creatures).
:::It's also fun trying to think of ways to fit it all together (you can't put it up here because it's all speculation, but it's still a worthwhile pastime, IMO). For example, most people assume the Koopalings' mother died (I've written a 120 page fanfiction about the ill-fated Queen of the Koopas myself), but the other day I read a story in which they were adopted. It seemed like such an obvious answer, and it blew my mind that I had never heard it before! - {{User:Walkazo/sig}} 01:08, 24 December 2008 (EST)


==Redirection==
{| class="navbox" style="margin: 0 auto 0 auto; padding: 0.2em; background:#dfd; color:black" width=100%
Some of the redirects I made for [[Jūshī]] were actually common spelling mistakes. For example, ''Jyuushii'' is completely wrong, but you see it everywhere. What's your opinion on this?

Actually, [[Jūshī]] probably would make for a better example than [[Torejan]]. {{User:Twentytwofiftyseven/sig}} 01:03, 3 August 2009 (EDT)

:Sounding out words in a totally foreign language can be tricky, so creating temporary redirects for subjects of newly released games sounds reasonable. On the one hand, they could just try searching for something similar (i.e. when searching for "Immounu" turned up nothing, I simply tried "Imounu" next, and got to the right page), but seeing as new games are hot-button topics, giving searchers more leeway might be worth-while. Once the game gets established in English, the spelling mistakes should all be deleted (to make room for the next new game). However, for Japan-only releases that have been out for a while (like ''[[Super Mario Fushigi no Korokoro Party]]''), there aren't enough searchers to justify spelling redirects.

:As for the example thing, my computer doesn't handle the symbols in [[Jūshī]] well: I need to cut and paste the hexadecimals to get it right, so it was simply easier to go with [[Torejan]]. - {{User:Walkazo/sig}} 16:56, 3 August 2009 (EDT)

I think English spelling mistakes like "Pokemon" should be aloud because not many English speakers have the "é" on their keyboard. --<span style="font-family:verdana; color:#red;"><font size="5">'''[[User talk:Yoshario|Y]]'''oshario'''</font></span>[[File:Yoshi Mario Hat SM64DS.png|30px]]

:Agreed. I actually said titles containing weird symbols were an exception to the "no spelling mistakes" rule, though re-reading it now, I think I could've been more clear about that... - {{User:Walkazo/sig}} 17:32, 3 August 2009 (EDT)
