Page Structures

A list of semi-standardized page structures. They might fit with what you are trying to write. The bullet point levels are representative of the header levels.

"Evolution" Structure

Overview:

• Second-level headers are used to divide into "sections" of the particular thing's evolution.
  • Third-level headers are used after, to show what we have of that particular revision.
• Including final versions is optional, but usually beneficial.

Works best with:

Articles with a long and notable history. Otherwise, an early version might fit better as a "notable aspect" header.

Examples:

• Combine Soldier (Evolution)
• Metropolice (Evolution)

"Timeline" Structure

Headers:

• Major events (or years) serve as level 1 headers, dividing events.
  • Individual days where events occur serve as level 2 headers.
  • Individual events are laid out below the days with bullet points.
• At the very end, a header for references is included.

Works best with:

Large, multi-month events, with smaller bits scattered over multiple days.

Examples:

• Timeline_of_Leaks_(Facepunch-Era)

"Weapon" Structure

Headers:

• First, a brief description of what the weapon is, with the weapon name in bold. I.E.:

The XM29 OICW is the effective predecessor to the OSPIR. It is still in use in the leak, and thus fully present.

• Two level two headers:
  • Overview
  • Tactics
  • Further case-by-case headers, documenting notable aspects of the weapon. I.E.:
    • Older Texture
    • Cut Grenade Launching Function
    • Facepunch Leaks
• Another level-two header gallery, with dividing subheaders something like this:
  • Screenshots
  • Renders
  • Textures
• A header for references. (If used!)

Works best with:

• Articles documenting weapons. The general idea of it can be applied elsewhere, though.

Examples:

• AK-47 (AR1)
• Heavy Machine Gun (HMG1)
• MP5K (SMG1)
• XM29 OICW (AR2)
