Semi-protected edit request on 6 January 2021

Article lists Luigi as Mario's "fraternal twin" citing footnote 48 - "'Luigi Biography'. IGN. Archived from the original on August 17, 2009. Retrieved January 26, 2010." Looking online, there appear to be several other Wiki's that state this fact with no support at all. I do not speak Japanese so I am unable to check the statements of Nintendo in Japanese, but I do not find evidence that they are fraternal twins in English. Of note, the Luigi article does not list that they are fraternal twins. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.231.26.235 (talk) 00:34, 7 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Not done: It can be assumed that since Mario and Luigi are not completely identical, they must be by definition fraternal twins. Icedmorning (talk) 21:56, 12 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protected edit request on 24 March 2021

It is requested that an edit be made to the semi-protected article at Mario. (edit · history · last · links · protection log)

This template must be followed by a complete and specific description of the request, that is, specify what text should be removed and a verbatim copy of the text that should replace it. "Please change X" is not acceptable and will be rejected; the request must be of the form "please change X to Y".

The edit may be made by any autoconfirmed user. Remember to change the |answered=no parameter to "yes" when the request has been accepted, rejected or on hold awaiting user input. This is so that inactive or completed requests don't needlessly fill up the edit requests category. You may also wish to use the {{ESp}} template in the response. To request that a page be protected or unprotected, make a protection request.

Mario's family also includes Maria (aunt), Luigeena (aunt), Mia Mario (grandmother), Mia Mario (mother), Luigeena (cousin), Marianne (cousin), Marilyn (niece), Mario Joe (cousin), Luigi Bob (cousin), and Tony (uncle). 2600:1700:1595:8210:9C90:E205:FB6D:5301 (talk) 03:03, 24 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
