Should there be a period after Super Mario Bros.? in the sentence, "for example, this community-made multi-segment compilation for Super Mario Bros." it ends with a period but the period is apart of the name "Super Mario Bros." If there was another period, the sentence would become, "for example, this community-made multi-segment compilation for Super Mario Bros.." I would just edit it but I'm not sure if this is even correct & my account doesn't have enough edits ;-; Brapstu (talk) 03:31, 25 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
