Preload buttons[edit]

The preload buttons.

In order to keep pages on the wiki neat and uniform, we employ certain formatting and templates to help us accomplish this. When creating a new page, please use one of the preload buttons located above the edit text box, which will insert the needed templates and formatting for you. Thanks for keeping the wiki organized! — Moydow T · C 23:36, 9 July 2010 (UTC)

When adding links in the Footer Nav, try to follow the order of the guide's Table of Contents as closely as possible. Also, don't remove any prevpage or nextpage parameters; they make it easier for other editors to link to a new page at a later stage. Moydow T · C 18:39, 18 July 2010 (UTC)

Image categorisation[edit]

When uploading images, please make sure to categorise them using the correct image categories and the guide-specific category, i.e. [[Category:Xenogears images]]. Please see our image policy for more details. Thanks for helping to keep our images neat! — Moydow T · C 03:53, 25 July 2010 (UTC)

Neutral point of view[edit]

Guides are open for anyone to edit, and to accomodate multiple authors we've decided to use a neutral point of view, meaning content should be written in the third person, with no opinions and a somewhat professional tone. Please keep this in mind as you're editing, and try to avoid words like "I" or "we", or use of slang or non-factual information. Thanks for helping us keep our guide pages polished! — Moydow T · C 01:47, 26 July 2010 (UTC)

Naming images[edit]

Hi, please remember to upload images with the correct name. This means that the game's name must be in the filename, ie Xenogears Lahan Village.png. Also, you don't need to re-upload the image in a smaller size if it's too big for a page. Just use the following code:

[[File:Filename.png|?px]]

Replace Filename.png with the file's correct name and extension (jpg, png, for example). Then replace ?px with your required file size (for the map you uploaded, you could use 450px). Hope this helps. Moydow T · C 19:30, 26 July 2010 (UTC)
