Editor's information
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.
Contents
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.

"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
