General information is a list of general links that are relevant to the game.
General rules
- Too many links can create unneeded clutter. Each article should have 10 general links max.
- If a PC Report or other article by PCGamingWiki is available, provide a link to it at the top of the list.
- Some potential sites to use:
- Official forums
- Game wikis (official)
- GOG.com links (required if available on GOG.com)
- Steam links (required if available on Steam)
- The list formatting should be the following:
- PCGamingWiki articles
- Official websites (developer-run forums, official wikis)
- Other official websites
- GOG.com links tag
- Steam Community Discussions
- Steam Users' Forums
- Source code links (if available)
GOG.com links tag
Syntax
{{GOG.com links| Product ID | Forums ID | Note for forums link }}
Example
- GOG.com Community Discussions for game series
- GOG.com Support Page
A simplified method of providing links to GOG.com pages. With the appropriate page IDs, the tag can auto-link to the game-specific support page and forums.
- Keep in mind that while in most cases the support page and forums page IDs will be the same, sometimes they will be not.
- Ex:
- Support page URL: https://support.gog.com/hc//categories/201400969?game=1207658747
- Product ID:
1207658747
- Product ID can be obtained from the GOG Database (example).
- Product ID:
- Forums page URL: https://www.gog.com/forum/prince_of_persia_series
- Page ID:
prince_of_persia_series
- Page ID:
