PCGamingWiki:Sample article

---

Instructions

• Code sections can be copied using the edit link for this page.
• Delete the last line of code, and choose an appropriate category, which will normally be [[Category:Game]] [[Category:Windows]].
• The Fallout (series) of articles is an excellent reference point for example of good articles.

Bullet Point Icons

• The purpose of the bullet point graphics is to provide more brevity and clarity to article content.
• All icons automatically indent onto a new line.
• Virtually all sentences in all game fix pages should use these codes:

- {{ii}} - information.

- {{++}} - positive / advantage / recommend.

- {{--}} - negative / disadvantage / dissuade.

Style Crib Sheet

We have decided to not include genre information. The focus of the wiki is to provide information about how to fix games, rather than the content of games.

Reference where the fixes come from using <ref> tags.

All headers to use 'title case' (beginning of words capitalised), the rest is in normal 'sentence case'.

Fixbox

Use the Fixbox template to boxout fixes and instructions.

Fixbox/fix and Fixbox/instructions

Parameters include:

• |line=false - no line - best used when there are no further text beyond the header.
• |link=false - no 'link here' text - if you want to make the header into a link itself.
