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

For Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time

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).
  • Forums page URL: https://www.gog.com/forum/prince_of_persia_series
    • Page ID: prince_of_persia_series
