| ==Achievement pages== | | ==Guidelines== |
| ===Layout===
| | * Images for each Achievement go in [[:Category:Achievement images]] |
| A special template exists for laying out achievement pages: {{t|Achievements Header}}. It is to be used to start a table as follows:
| | * Achievement pages go in [[:Category:Achievements]] |
| <pre>{{Achievements Header|g=yes|trophy=yes}}
| |
| | [[File:GameName achievement AchievementName.jpg]] || Name || Official description || {{G|10}} || {{Bronze}}
| |
| |-
| |
| | ...
| |
| |}</pre>
| |
| The table contains all the achievements, with the first column containing the achievement's image, the second its name, the third its official description, the fourth its [[Gamerscore]] (if appropriate) using {{t|G}}, and the last its trophy, if applicable. Above the table should be a short sentence summarising the number of achievements and trophies for all systems and a breakdown of Gamerscore and trophy types. {{t|achievement info}} is helpful for concisely displaying Gamerscore and trophy breakouts.

| If a game has several different sets of achievements (for example, single player and multiplayer achievements), they should be put into separate tables under appropriate level-two headings. Create new headings for secret achievements, multiplayer achievements or DLC achievements, and add a "General" heading to the normal achievements. When splitting up the achievements into separate sections, use <code><nowiki>__TOC__</nowiki></code> to force a table of contents if there are less than four sections. For an example of sections in an achievement page, see [[Fallout 3/Achievements and trophies]].
| | ==Xbox 360== |
| | *[[Call of Duty 2/Achievements|Call of Duty 2]] |
| | *[[Call of Duty 3/Achievements|Call of Duty 3]] |

| ===Categorisation=== | | ==Xbox Live Arcade== |
| Achievement pages can be put into multiple achievement categories, depending on the systems for which they've been released.
| | *[[Pac-Man/Achievements|Pac-Man]] |
| * [[Xbox 360]] and [[Xbox Live Arcade]] achievement pages go in [[:Category:Xbox 360 achievements]]
| | *[[Gauntlet/Achievements|Gauntlet]] |
| * [[Xbox One]] and [[Xbox Play Anywhere]] achievement pages go in [[:Category:Xbox One achievements]] | | *[[Ms. Pac-Man/Achievements|Ms. Pac-Man]] |
| * [[PlayStation 3]] and [[PlayStation Network]] trophies go in [[:Category:PlayStation 3 trophies]] | | *[[Wik and the Fable of Souls/Achievements|Wik and the Fable of Souls]] |
| * [[PlayStation Vita]] trophies go in [[:Category:PlayStation Vita trophies]] | | *[[Joust/Achievements|Joust]] |
| * [[Steam]] achievement pages go in [[:Category:Steam achievements]]
| | *[[Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (arcade)/Achievements|Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles]] |
| * [[Games for Windows]] achievement pages go in [[:Category:Games for Windows achievements]] | | *[[UNO/Achievements|UNO]] |
| | | *[[New Rally-X/Achievements|New Rally-X]] |
| Achievement pages should '''never''' be put straight into [[:Category:Achievements]]. It is possible to find out the systems for which a game was released from the infobox on the game's main page.
| | *[[Robotron: 2084/Achievements|Robotron: 2084]] |
| | | *[[Street Fighter II Turbo/Achievements|Street Fighter Turbo II]] |
| ==Achievement images==
| |
| Achievement and trophy images should be categorized in [[:Category:Achievement images]], [[:Category:Trophy images]], or both as the case may be. In addition, the images should also get the guide-specific category (<nowiki>[[Category:</nowiki>''Game Name'' images]]). Achievement and trophy images should be at least 64 pixels wide and displayed at 64×64 pixels (set this width explicitly in the image link if they're larger), and the filename should be formed according to [[StrategyWiki:Guide/File uploads|StrategyWiki policy]], with the name of the game or its abbreviation. A well-formed filename would be: "Image:''Game Name'' achievement ''Achievement Name''.png".

| It was mandatory since Xbox 360's inception that games for it should have achievements, and the same is true of PlayStation 3 as of 2009. Achievement and trophy images are made by the developer, so in most cases the images will be identical for each system. The exception is the PlayStation 3 platinum trophy, which rarely has a corresponding Xbox 360 achievement, and so will likely have to be found separately. For the rest of the images, if you can obtain one system's, you'll have the other's. In general, trophy images are preferred as they are of higher quality (available at 240px with transparent backgrounds). For games where the achievements themselves are different (such as when the game is ported to the other console much later), split the achievements and trophies up between two tables under separate headings. For example, [[Ninja Gaiden II/Achievements and trophies|Ninja Gaiden II]]. If just the images are different, you can add both to the Picture column ([[Sonic's Ultimate Genesis Collection#Achievements and trophies|example]]) or if only a few images are different, just add them to the Description column ([[Battlefield: Bad Company/Achievements and trophies#Online multiplayer|example]]).

| Make sure when uploading an achievement or trophy image from another site, that no after effects have been added. For instance, [http://www.xbox360achievements.org/ xbox360achievemnts.org] and [http://www.ps3trophies.org/index.php ps3trophies.org] both shrink images down and apply a green or red border, respectively. Other sites, like [http://www.360sync.com/ 360sync.com] whitewash their images so they don't contain the actual colors. The best way to ensure you get quality images is to take them from your own official profile (i.e. XBLA or PSN). Failing that, just make sure you are getting images that haven't been modified.

| ===Where to find images===
| |
| If you're looking for lists of achievements, they're all over the place. Put a search in for "''game name'' achievements" and tons of links will come up. Pretty much any list you find will be usable for the purpose of creating the achievements table, however, most sites don't include an image of the achievement. For PlayStation 3 trophies, if you know someone's PSN profile name, you can view all their trophies by going to <nowiki>http:</nowiki>//profiles.us.playstation.com/playstation/psn/profiles/''profile name''. Hidden trophies, however, are not shown, so you would only be able to view one if you have unlocked it on your own profile.
