Quick links to the base templates of PCGamingWiki
Instructions
- Code sections can be copied either from the sample articles above, the relevant section of the editing guide, or from the source of this page.
- 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 fixing PC games, rather than the content of games.
- Reference where the fixes come from using <ref> tags and templates {{refurl}}, {{refcheck}}, {{refsnip}}.[1]
- All headers and page names to use sentence case. This means capital letter at the beginning of a sentence, with no other capitals unless it is a proper noun or acryonym.
- Use the fixbox template to boxout fixes and instructions.

- There is a community or fan patch which is superior to the latest developer patch.
