Revision as of 18:17, 13 October 2017

Considering the wiki's only a few days old, there isn't much to discuss, however there are still a few things to keep in mind.

Infobox Reference

  • The current custom "Infobox" panels are:
Purpose (For documenting) Template name
Cut enemies Template:Cut Enemies
Cut Maps Template:MapInfoBox
Cut weapons (advanced) Template:Weapon_infobox
Mods Template:Mod_InfoBox
Shitposts/memes Template:Game_Infobox

There is currently one custom "notice" panel: Template:Obsolete

Please consider if the current ones are a good fit for your article before creating another.

Page Composition

VCC Wiki doesn't play exactly by the rules of any format. Rather, it uses a mishmash of good-sounding ideas, with a emphasis on format reuse from the Half-Life wiki and TCRF.

Infoboxes play a huge role here - copy in the appropriate one, and follow the comments.

Cut Enemies

These are intended to document cut enemies, and what condition (or lack of) they are in, alongside their oddities.

Weapons

These are intended to document cut weapons, and how they (would have) functioned.

Header Structure

==Overview==
==Tactics==
==Gallery==
Miscellaneous aspects (see below)
===Screenshots=== (if applicable)
===Textures=== (if applicable)


"Miscellaneous Aspects"

What does Miscellaneous Aspects represent? Essentially, this is a trivia section, where instead of bullet points, individual notable bits get their own heading.
For example, on the MP5K (SMG1) page, it would refer to the

  • Viewmodel Picture Release
  • Prior Revisions

On the Heavy_Machine_Gun_(HMG1) page, it would refer to

  • Early Viewmodel

It's based on TCRF's approach to headings, of which a good example can be seen here.

Wikia Tricks

Two tips for removing the unnecesary stuff wikia likes adding:

  • For galleries: Include "hideaddbutton=true" to remove the add buttons
  • For headers: Include "__NOEDITSECTION__" anywhere in the article to remove the header "edit" buttons
