:It's a large article. What kind of organization structure are you specifically advocating for? It's not immediately clear from your post. {{User:Mario/sig}} 20:10, February 12, 2025 (EST)

::It appears to be to reorganize this article such that places that are part of larger regions are sorted as bullet points below their larger region. Mushroom World contains all of the Lands of ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', and also the Mushroom Kingdom. In turn, Toad Town is a part of the Mushroom Kingdom, and goes beneath that. And in turn, all of the locations in Toad Town in ''[[Paper Mario]]'' are parts of Toad Town, and so go below that.
::This seems sensible at first but a) alphabetical sorting works. There are also a number issues to work out.
::*b) This kind of sorting means the wiki has to answer "Is the Mushroom Kingdom part of the Mushroom World?", "Which games are confirmed to take place entirely within the Mushroom Kingdom?", and "Are areas that Bowser controls definitionally outside the Mushroom Kingdom?", none of which we're allowed to create an answer because we're not allowed to make inferences. (It uh, doesn't help that most games don't bother defining where the Mushroom Kingdom ends.)
::**b.1) Does ''[[Super Mario Maker]]'' and all of its courses take place in the Mushroom Kingdom?
::*c) Recurring locations would presumably have duplicate entries so that they can go under each of their parent locations. [[Yoshi's House]] would have an entry below [[Yoshi's Island (location)]], [[Mushroom Kingdom (Super Mario Odyssey)]], and [[Sky Station Galaxy]]. [[Bowser's Castle]] would go under nearly every World 8. Peach's Castle appears safe since it's defined as being within the Mushroom Kingdom, but under this system it would also need to be under several racetracks like [[N64 Royal Raceway]] and [[3DS Mario Circuit]]
::*d) We have to figure out where locations that move and have no set home point should go, such as Bowser's Castle in ''[[The Super Mario Bros. Movie]]''
::*e) We have to have the argument on if [[Bowser's body]] should be listed under [[Cavi Cape]] (where the game starts), Bowser's Castle (where Bowser usually is), under nearly every location in ''[[Bowser's Inside Story]]'' (because Bowser can go to all of those places and takes his body with him), or if it shouldn't be under any location because Bowser's body is better treated as a dimension because of how weird that story is.[[User:Salmancer|Salmancer]] ([[User talk:Salmancer|talk]]) 21:29, February 12, 2025 (EST)
:::That's what it appears to be. The problem is that the relationships of these locations have never really been confirmed nor has it ever been a priority for developers to really sort it out. It's a bad call to try to make sense of how these locations are organized. {{User:Mario/sig}} 21:32, February 12, 2025 (EST)
::::Answering to salmancer:
::::a) I did use alphabetical order.
::::b) I don't know.
:::::b 1.) No.
::::c) Yes, but we can just not have links in the entries that aren't the first one. EDIT: There are already some entries that are repeated like [[Tower of the Wing Cap|? Switch]].
::::d) We just have to use the same technic I said we'd use with c).
::::e) Even though Bowser's Body is considered a location, it should just be separated from the rest, just like the Mushroom World in the example above. [[User:Weegie baby|Weegie baby]] ([[User talk:Weegie baby|talk]]) 09:00, February 13, 2025 (EST)
