The series sidebar serves as an extension of sorts for the Infobox, and is made up of two parts, [[#The tag|the tag]] as well as [[#The table|the table]]. It gives a list of all the games in a particular series and points out where the current article resides in that list. Code-wise, it is always located directly beneath [[PCGamingWiki:Editing guide/The infobox|the infobox]] and above [[PCGamingWiki:Editing guide/Key points and General information|Key points/General information]]. | The series sidebar serves as an extension of sorts for the Infobox, and is made up of two parts, [[#The tag|the tag]] as well as [[#The table|the table]].

This will case the necessary [[Property:Part of series]] declaration to not be set, which will mean the game will not be seen as a part of the series. | :* Description: Mistakenly writing <code><nowiki>{{Series:xxxx}}</nowiki></code> with a colon ( : ) instead of a pipe ( | ) will result in the game page transcluding the relevant [[Series:xxxx]] page directly instead of going through the [[Template:Series]].
