* When uploading a file, please specify its license. '''All licensed media pertaining to the main ''[[Mario (franchise)|Mario]]'' franchise are copyrighted by Nintendo themselves, and third-party and licensed media are copyright of their respective parties. They are being used here under {{wp|fair use}}.

* Users are allowed to upload their own [[:Category:Personal images|personal images]], which are images that are unrelated to what Mariopedia covers (e.g. fan art), as long as it does not become excessive.
