StrategyWiki:Guide/Sidebars

This article contains a list of StrategyWiki's sidebars and their purposes. The titles, contents, and widths of sidebars are controllable. Sidebars are used to display all kinds of information, ranging from sidequests to important reminders. While they should not be overused, they definitely add to the readability of our articles!

Keep in mind that these are not infoboxes, and infoboxes should be treated differently! Infoboxes contain specific types of information, whereas sidebars can contain any type of information.

Generic Sidebars
These sidebars can be used on any game, and are not console- or vendor-exclusive.

Inconspicuous
Used mostly for sidequests or when you do not want to distract the reader too much from the main body of the text. These should be used when you feel the content of the sidebar is entirely optional to the reader.

Vivid
This sidebar is more noticeable and draws the reader's attention to it. This should probably be used for tips, important facts, or helpful reminders. Note the larger margin used to greater distinguish the content.

Xbox 360 Achievement
This sidebar is indicating the unlocking of Xbox Live achievements. Note that, as a general rule, lists of Achievements should not be made using this template as it takes up quite a bit of space and is primarily intended to run alongside the text.
