The '''Super Mario Wiki''' is a collaborative knowledge-base about everything in the ''{{smw|Mario}}'', ''{{smw|Donkey Kong}}'', ''{{smw|Wario}}'', and ''{{smw|Yoshi}}'' universe. It is driven by a fan-based community and runs on a wiki (meaning any registered user can edit and create articles). It also extensively covers ''Mario''-related {{smw|Category:Crossover Games|crossovers}}, including the ''{{smw|Category:Super Smash Bros.|Super Smash Bros.}}'' series, and features some ''{{smw|Pokémon|Pokémon}}'' content stemming from these crossovers (mostly related to ''Smash''). | |||

The administration of the wiki; as administration is on other wikis such as [[Bulbapedia]], is considered the "house-keeping" branch of the wiki as its members are given tools to help with its maintenance. Members of the administrative team either belong to the Patroller, Administrator, and Bureaucrat user group: Patrollers have basic administrative permissions that allow them to combat malicious editors, Administrators have advanced permissions that allow them to delete pages and hide revisions, and Bureaucrats are able to rename members and assign administrative positions to other members. | The administration of the wiki; as administration is on other wikis such as [[Bulbapedia]], is considered the "house-keeping" branch of the wiki as its members are given tools to help with its maintenance.

The wiki has a news project entitled The 'Shroom, which has seen new editions every month since January 2007. Its coverage extends to the topics that are covered on the wiki, the website and its community, and even other topics from the perspective of the members of the website; it features news sections, fan-made fictional news pieces, games and activities, artwork and music, and reviews and opinion pieces. The project has an entirely separate staff department dedicated to its upkeep and runs projects in conjunction with the other staff departments and even other websites. | The wiki has a news project entitled {{smw|The 'Shroom:Main Page|The 'Shroom}}, which has seen new editions every month since January 2007.
