Revision as of 23:47, July 24, 2010

This article is under construction. Therefore, please excuse its informal appearance while it is being worked on. We hope to have it completed as soon as possible.

The Glossary is a list of gaming and Wiki terms used in the Super Mario Wiki. While entries in this list link to mainspace subjects, this page does not include definitions for fictional characters, living people, events, places and things appearing in the Mario series or relating to it in the real world.

A wiki (Hawaiian for "fast") is software that allows users to create, edit, and link web pages easily. Wikis are often used to create collaborative websites and to power community websites. They are being installed by businesses to provide affordable and effective Intranets and for Knowledge Management.
