		+	Not all games need that much pages though. Recommended subpages are:
		+	* Story. If the game has a story at all, this should be present.
		+	* Gameplay. Mandatory. All games have gameplay. If the gameplay is ''complex'', there should be subpages for that. Most notably...
		+	* Gameplay\H Guide. If the game has H, and you need to be good at it to achieve something there should be a H Guide.
		+	* Technical Help. Mandatory. There will be always problems when installing japanes games.
		+	* Modding. Depends on two factors:
		+	*# is the game modable at all?
		+	*# does mods exists/are in the works?
		+
		+	Generally, if some pages tend to get very large, it may be the right thing to put some content in a subpage.

		+	Game pages should be organized in a tree like structure. The gamepage itself is the root of the tree. Subpages are used for more detailed information.

		+	For example, a more complex game like [[@HomeMate]] has quite a lot subpages:
		+	*@HomeMate
		+	*@HomeMate/Story
		+	*@HomeMate/Story/Characters
		+	*@HomeMate/Gameplay
		+	*@HomeMate/Gameplay/Dates

−	~~Waiting~~ for ~~next content~~	+	==Articles, Categories and Templates==
		+	If you want to do more than just edit a few pages, there are a few basic wiki concepts to know.
		+
		+	An '''Article''' is basically a single page on the wiki. Most articles belong to a certain game or game company.
		+
		+	A '''Category''' is a group of pages that have something in common. Also, a special "overview" page is automatically created for a category.
		+
		+	'''Templates''' are prepared layouts for pages that can be used within articles.
		+
		+	==Basic Game/Company article structure==
		+	Any game found in this wiki should have at least the following articles:
		+
		+	* An article about the game company, if not already there.
		+	On the company page there's an information box on the top left with a list of featured games. A new game should be added to this list. Usually those lists are ordered alphabetically, try to keep it this was. The page's name should be the name of the company, for examples see [[IllusionGames\|Illusion]] or [[INTERHEART]].
		+
		+	* An article about the game.
		+	Game pages also have an information box on the top left showing the company, but instead of featured games a list of pages for this game is shown. As some games will be more complex than others, complex games usually have more subpages.
		+	Main game articles can include links to gameinfo, list system requirements, display cover art, etc.
		+
		+	Optional pages for any game are:
		+
		+	* Subpages
		+	For H games, subpages usually include a gameplay and a H guide, but there could be more.
