Nitrome Wiki:Revise 2/Tutorials

This page lists how to do certain things for Project:Revise 2.

Adding sections to pages
Adding sections to pages is often easy, but sometimes it can be hard. For pages that have large clumps of text, the text should be searched for content relating to game information or appearance. All pages will have content relating to game information, but maybe not content relating to appearance.

If the sections mentioned in the Sections to be added sections of this page have to be included and have little or no information, empty should be placed if it has no information, and incomplete should be placed if it does not have all information. If a page has other sections with other names, that section should be named properly or split into two other sections.

Example 1: No appearance
Article

Blue Teleporters are a type of Teleporter found only in Toxic II. They serve the same purpose as Red Teleporters, but don't appear in every level, and are hidden in the level. The player often has to travel to a distant location, take a different path, or go up areas which have not been ventured through. Sometimes, the player has to do actions which seem illogical (e.g: On level 18, to access level 18.1, the player has to go through some walls which have the appearance of being solid but are not).

When entering a Blue Teleporter, the player completes the level, the same as accessing the Red Pad, but do not unlock the next level (e.g: If the player first accesses the Blue Teleporter in level 18.0 but haven't got to the Red Teleporter of 18.0, they will unlock level 18.1 but not level 19.0).

Reason: Since no content for the appearance of the object exists, Template:Empty should be used.

Sections to be added
There are five sections that can be added to an article, but only two that always must be added. The other three are optional sections. All optional sections come below Game Information, with the exception of Trivia which is always last.

Appearance
The Appearance section is always the first section of an article. Appearance describes the appearance of the subject and any other forms it may take. This section is beneficial to all articles and should always be included.

Game Information
Game Information lists what the subject does in the game. If the subject appears as an enemy in another game, the writer can make level 4 headings, one for the game it debuted in a level four section with the name of a game for every other game it appeared in. Each sections should write what it does for both game. This section is beneficial to all articles and should always be included.

Other appearances
Other appearances lists the Skin appearances, cameos, and other places the subject appeared. If it played a large role in another game (as an enemy), its appearance should not be listed here. The writer should make a bullet point, a link to what it appeared in, and a short description of where it appeared. This section is optional, and should only be included if it made a cameo in a Skin, Nitrome game, or other Nitrome media (excluding fanart).

Gallery
Gallery should list other images of the enemy. The Evolution template also goes in the gallery section. This section is optional to include, and should only be included if the subject appeared in different games or other images worthy to be placed on the article exist.

Trivia
Trivia lists a trivial or interesting fact about the subject. This section is optional, and should only be included if any of the aforementioned content exists.
