Someone brought this up in an edit summary. Should this split up the 2D and 3D games? Other series templates don't organize games by decade of release. Perhaps this should put all 2D games on one line, all 3D games on another, and maybe all the portable games on a third line?

:::::::How about something like [[User:Wanderer/Mario_template_prototype|this]]? Divided into 2D, 3D, and portables? Also, Mario Kart could be removed as a sub-series since it already goes under "Mario Sports".

::::::::I like it. Since the order can't be implied from looking at the list alone, the bold descriptions/categories should be put in front like Salnax had in his. Whatever we decide upon needs to be simple and applicable to other series in the future, though. The true "series" would probably be split up like so, into canonical series, ordered chronologically: [[User:Notmyhandle/TemplateMario]]. --{{User:Notmyhandle/Sig}} 02:26, 7 June 2012 (UTC) | ::::::::I like it.

:I don't like dividing by 2D/3D since I see SM64 as the logical continuation from SMW. A few of them are complete offshoots of the primary series, and can probably be put in a separate "section" (as Salnax did). I agree with NMH that we need the headings if we have multiple sections. Perhaps we can separate handheld vs. console? That way we can keep chronology more or less intact. -- [[User:Prod|Prod]] ([[User talk:Prod|talk]]) 01:02, 9 June 2012 (UTC) | |||
::I'm okay with the console/handheld split. One question: why does Mario vs. Donkey Kong get to appear on the Donkey Kong template, but not this one? --{{User:Notmyhandle/Sig}} 17:46, 10 June 2012 (UTC) | |||
:::I went for single parent hierarchy. -- [[User:Prod|Prod]] ([[User talk:Prod|talk]]) 02:26, 11 June 2012 (UTC) | |||
::::Obviously Mario is the better parent. His name comes first. --{{User:Notmyhandle/Sig}} 05:59, 11 June 2012 (UTC) | |||

As an aside, are the Advance ports really different enough to be covered separately or should they be merged with their respective games? [[User:Garrett|Garrett]] ([[User talk:Garrett|talk]]) 12:04, 11 June 2012 (UTC) | |||
:Based on [[Super Mario Advance#Version Differences|Version differences]], I'd say the differences are fairly minor. But we'd need an "expert" in each game to conclude for us. -- [[User:Prod|Prod]] ([[User talk:Prod|talk]]) 03:47, 12 June 2012 (UTC) | |||

:I'm not really a fan of hiding information. This template is a major component of the category pages, and just adds another click to get to the content. Its usage on main pages is also always at the very end, just before the categories, so hiding anything doesn't really save any space. I do like the better separation between the sections though, but we should try to look a bit less wikipedia-ish. -- [[User:Prod|Prod]] ([[User talk:Prod|talk]]) 03:47, 12 June 2012 (UTC) | |||
::Regardless of how it is laid out, people will figure it out. I agree, hiding it doesn't help. As far as being unique, we could just return to the floating/centered look and maybe add some colored cells to that, instead. --{{User:Notmyhandle/Sig}} 04:14, 12 June 2012 (UTC) | |||
