The wiki covers various topics surrounding the Mario series: some of which include the games, characters, locations, TV series, movies, and comics. Anyone can sign-up and help edit articles, and users gain more abilities one week after signing up, such as the ability to create their userpage and having the ability to move pages. This is to help prevent new users from making excessive mistakes and have a chance to learn about the policies of the site before they make mistakes. | The wiki covers various topics surrounding the Mario series: some of which include the games, characters, locations, TV series, movies, and comics.

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 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 The 'Shroom, which has seen new editions every month since January 2007.
