Talk:Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas

Page Naming

 * The main page for this wiki book shall be "Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas".


 * All sub-pages which are conceptually a part of this guide, should be prepended with the string "Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas: ".

e.g. A page entitled "Frequently Asked Questions" should be created as "Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas: Frequently Asked Questions".


 * When choosing a name for a new sub-page, try to avoid unnecessary abbreviations.

e.g. "Frequently Asked Questions" is a more informative name than "FAQ".


 * New page names should use title caps.

e.g. "This Title Uses Title Caps", "This title doesn't use title caps".
 * To prevent namespace collisions of similar sub-pages for which there many be a large numbers of (e.g. missions/characters), I suggest the following
 * All pages about specific missions should be preprended with the string "Missionss: "
 * All pages about specific characters should be preprended with the string "Characters: "
 * All pages about specific vehicles should be preprended with the string "Vehicles: "
 * All pages about specific items should be preprended with the string "Items: "

e.g. "Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas: Missions: Ryder" shall be about the "Ryder" mission, and "Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas: Characters: Ryder" shall be about the character named "Ryder".

Indices
Currently, the only index of all associated sub-pages is the contents page, but I suggest that it might be worth implementing other indices. At the moment I'm thinking of:


 * A hierarchical contents page (much like what we have already)
 * A traditional alphabetical index (could be annoying to maintain, however)
 * A FAQ-style index (similar to the FAQ we have already, but using hyperlinks to index the content on the appropriate sub-page.

Formatting
Want those fancy SanAn font headers?

The tags will ensure the heading does not overlap the text.

Miscellaneous Comments
Append a comment if you wish.


 * Please, add as you see fit. This books needs a lot of filling out.  As it is a highly popular game, a good walkthrough here might encourage similar work with other games.  --Alpharigel 22:40, 9 Nov 2004 (UTC)

 * This walkthrough needs more work including screenshots and maps. I suggest we wait untill the PC version to take screenshots.


 * Added FAQ sub-page. Tidied this page, and added some proposed style guidelines. --Aya 15:48, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)
