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 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.
