I am attempting to remedy the inconsistency often present in articles on things from other NIWA-linked series.
Since MarioWiki is part of the Nintendo Independent Wiki Alliance, or NIWA for short, we are capable of linking between wikis in articles about characters from NIWA-covered series, such as Link.
Characters
For characters that have appeared/were originally going to appear in a Mario, Donkey Kong, Wario, or Yoshi series game, such as Link, Samus Aran, and Kirby, the following format shall be used:
At the top, Template:character-infobox should be used. If a full name is applicable, then it should be listed on the character infobox. The first appearance section should list the first Mario or Mario-related game along with the first game of the character's respective series. The affiliations section should list and link to the appropriate affiliations within that character's universe. The latest appearance section should mimic the first appearance section, giving both the most recent Mario-related appearance and the latest appearance within the character's series.
The introduction of the article should be concise and detailed, not giving too many details, but enough to give an accurate portrayal of the character. It should be accurate both within the Mario-verse and within the character's universe. Links should be given wherever a more comprehensive knowledge of the subject would be helpful. At the top, a text reading:
This article is on a character from another series. There is a more comprehensive article on [[insert NIWA wiki here]] [[insert article|here]] should be inserted.
