Table of Contents pages[edit]

For information on how to lay out the Table of Contents pages for fighting games refer to StrategyWiki:Guide/Table of contents#Fighting games.

Guide organization[edit]

Fighting games that share the same core gameplay and engine share a Table of Contents and some pages. All moves for a particular game version are collected together on the Moves page (e.g. Street Fighter II/Moves). These pages have just the moves without the description text. Character move lists are subpaged beneath the first game in the series (e.g. Street Fighter II/Ken). Text describing the character is included on this page, but the actual move list content is on the Moves page and then transcluded into the Characters page using the {{Movelist}} template. This allows the Characters pages to list all game variant moves for that character without having to maintain several versions of the same information.

The Characters pages are also linked to (not transcluded) on their respective company move list pages, e.g. Capcom/Move lists#Ken.

Presentation[edit]

Move lists are laid out using {{Command Header}}, {{Command List}} and {{Command Footer}}. Refer to those pages for usage instructions. You can look at other fighting game pages to see how the templates work. If you have any questions, ask on the project talk page.

Categorization[edit]

The moves page of each guide should be categorized under Category:Game move lists. Each individual character page should be categorized under Category:Character move lists.
