It has come to my attention that Wildbrain's YT descriptions are literally copypasted from the first sentences of the plot synopsis sections of our own episode articles. The citation for "Mushroom Woods" is simply what it was before this page was moved. ("Mario, Luigi, Princess Toadstool and Toad have traveled to the Mushroom Woods during the winter season to visit Princess Toadstool's sick grandmother.") In light of this, I'm thinking mayhap we should put this as a similar situation as Super Mario Bros. Encyclopedia, especially considering as far as I'm aware WildBrain is merely a distributor.

- Using YouTube descriptions and similar ilk such as Amazon listing descriptions as an official source and the like has always been a shakey source of information (Amazon listings for some Mario plush products also copy and paste from intros in MarioWiki), so I had been quite against it from the start.

- How did they literally do that? Benjaminkirsc (talk) 15:06, December 4, 2020 (EST)
- Very nice catch. Another point against using YouTube descriptions as a source is that I think they can be edited by the channel at any moment. I believe some of the descriptions do come from official DVDs however, albeit with mistakes. Can we get more examples before deciding to forward? LinkTheLefty (talk) 12:27, December 7, 2020 (EST)
