| * Article title must follow the subject's official name, e.g. "[[Scythe]]" instead of "Magus's Weapon". It must also be written in Singular instead of Plural, e.g. "Gun" instead of "Guns" - exceptions are only when the article is a List, e.g. "List of Guns". | | * Article title must follow the subject's official name, e.g. "[[Revolver]]" instead of "Squall's Weapon". It must also be written in Singular instead of Plural, e.g. "Gun" instead of "Guns" - exceptions are only when the article is a List, e.g. "List of Airships". |
| **For characters, the character's name should be given with no title, unless to avoid tags, e.g. "[[Queen Zeal]]''. | | **For characters, the character's name should be given with no title, unless to avoid tags, e.g. "[[King Horne]]''. |
| | **For subjects without official names, please use the most accepted title - discussions encouraged - and place {{tl|Nameless}} at the top of the article, e.g. "[[First Tsurugi]]". |
| * Always include basic information about the subject when starting an article. The first sentence should have the subject written in '''bold'''. The first sentence should detail the name, classification, and game (or compilation, or series if it recurs). In succeeding sentences, the place where the thing is found, what the thing looks like (or sounds like if it is audio), and its purpose within its appearance. | | * Always include basic information about the subject when starting an article.

| **If the subject is referred to by multiple names, these must be mentioned in bold followed by the situation, e.g. "[[Crono]]". | | **For gameplay articles such as enemies and items, the exact name must be used. For character and location articles, the full name should be used including titles, e.g. "[[Cecil Harvey]]". |
| * When writing the article content, game titles should be written in ''italics'', e.g. ''Chrono Cross''. The {{tl|CT}}, {{tl|CC}}, {{tl|RD}}, and {{tl|CE}} are useful for this. Song titles should use "quotation marks", e.g. "Fight with Magus". | | **If the subject is referred to by multiple names, these must be mentioned in bold followed by the situation, e.g. "[[Mikoto]]". If the subject has different names in different languages, these must be mentioned including the versions, e.g. "[[Rinoa Heartilly]]". |
| | ** The Japanese term should be included in the intro after the bold subject term within parentheses and included with the romaji, written in italics, e.g. '''Light of Judgment''' (裁きの光, ''Sabaki no Hikari''). Pages that use infoboxes are exempt of this since the infoboxes already have sections for the Japanese term. |
| | ** The "International Phonetics Alphabet" (IPA) guide should be mentioned on the introductory sentences; for voiced characters, in the sentence which notes the character's voice actor/actress. Pages that use infoboxes are exempt of this, since the infoboxes already have sections for the IPA. |
| | * When writing the article content, game titles should be written in ''italics'', e.g. ''Final Fantasy IX'' and song titles should be with "quotation marks", e.g. "Prelude". |
| * The definite article (the) and indefinite articles (a/an) should be avoided in article titles except if they are used as the official title. | | * The definite article (the) and indefinite articles (a/an) should be avoided in article titles except if they are used as the official title. |
| * Please write in third person: use "the player" instead of "you". Disregard this when writing walkthroughs. | | * Please write in third person: use "the player" instead of "you". Disregard this when writing walkthroughs. |

Exceptions are for spaces where the full name would not fit. | | * Please avoid writing abbreviations for game titles, e.g ''FFVII'' - it should be ''Final Fantasy VII'', and gaming systems e.g. PS - it should be ''PlayStation''. Exceptions are for spaces where the full name would not fit. |
| * Wikilinking is limited to the first occurrence of the word or phrase. Wikilinks should be repeated if an subject of interest is included in an infobox or image caption, as well as the body of the article. Exceptionally long articles should link to other articles twice, if necessary: once upon first occurrence, and once again near the bottom or midsection of the article. | | * Follow the official game title and use roman numerals, it's ''Final Fantasy III'', ''NOT'' Final Fantasy 3. |

|
| ===For Characters=== | | ==Articles== |
| Character articles should be divided into:
| |
| *A character template (i.e. {{tl|Infobox CT Character}}, {{tl|CCPlayable Character}}, {{tl|Infobox RD Character}})
| |
| *A brief description or '''Intro''', leaving no spoilers for the viewer
| |
| *'''Appearance''' - A brief description of the character's attire, and personal features
| |
| *'''Story'''- You can insert a spoiler template above, but this is where you can lay out the character's history, present (in-game) and future (ending if shown).
| |
| *Other reference from a different game:
| |
| **For Example: Crono was a reference in Chrono Cross
| |
| *'''Abilities''' - Like Character's techs
| |
| *Optional
| |
| **Theme Song (if any)
| |
| **'''Trivia'''
| |
| **'''Gallery'''
| |
| **'''See also''' (anything related to the character)
| |
| *Finally include a navigator at the bottom: (i.e. - {{tl|Chrono Trigger}}, {{tl|CCPC}}, {{tl|Chrono Cross}}, {{tl|RD Nav}})
| |
| *'''References''' (if any)
| |
| | |
| ===For Equipment=== | | ===For Equipment=== |
| Each equipment, that is weapon, armor or accessory, does get an article. Following should be divided as: | | Each equipment, that is weapon, armor or accessory, does get an article. |
| *Template (if any; possibly need to be created)
| |
| *Image for the equipment (if template is not available or unable to create one)
| |
| *Brief description or '''Intro'''- to include where to find it
| |
| **If sold in shops, include a table of the location and price (if different)
| |
| *Navigator at the bottom: (i.e. {{tl|CT Weapons}}, {{tl|CC Items}}, {{tl|CC Weapons}} etc.)
| |
| | |
| ===For Locations===
| |
| A perfect location article for {{CC}} (minus the un-created pages) can be found [[Isle of the Damned|'''here''']].
| |
| | |
| ''In progress''
| |
| | |
| ===For Techs/Elements===
| |
| Each technique, whether performed by a Playable Character, NPC, or Enemy receives an individual article. If a Tech of the same name is performed by a Character and an Enemy, join them into the same article with separate infoboxes and images. An example of a well-written Element article is [[HiRes]].
| |
| Tech and Element articles should be divided as such:
| |
| | |
| *'''Template''': for ''Chrono Trigger'' use {{tl|Infobox CT Tech|this}} or {{tl|Infobox CT Tech2}}, and for ''Chrono Cross'' use {{tl|Infobox CC Element|this}} or {{tl|Infobox CC Tech|this}}.
| |
| *'''Images''' of the character or enemy performing the tech. Both, if required.
| |
| *An '''Introduction''' which includes the page name in bold, the name of the game in italics, and brief information about the character/enemy that uses the tech, how the tech is acquired, and any special effects the tech causes, such as a [[Status Effect]] or pre-set damage.
| |
| *'''Description'''- under a separate, underlined header describe the animations that appear on screen when the tech is used.
| |
| *'''Strategy''' (if applicable) - Describe when and how this technique can be useful. See [[Hypnowave]] for more information on this.
| |
| *Repeat steps 1-5 if enemies perform techs of the same name.
| |
| *Optional
| |
| **'''Trivia/Etymology/Name Origin''' - Why is the tech named this?
| |
| **'''Gallery''' - Does the tech have a long sequence of memorable images? Can the point be illustrated better with more images? Include them here. [[Medalsome]] is a good example of when adding galleries to Tech articles is appropriate.
| |
| **'''External Links''' - Is there a video demonstration of this tech on Youtube? Link to it here.
| |
| *Include a '''navigation bar''' at the end of each technique (one might possible need to be created for enemy techs; if so, include the appropriate next-best thing). Navigation templates to use: {{tl|CT Techs}} for ''Chrono Trigger'' and {{tl|CC Techs}} or {{tl|CC Elements}} for ''Chrono Cross''
| |
| *'''Categories'''- Add appropriate categories. For example, Chrono Trigger Techs should be sent to the category with that name. Enemy techs also have a separate category. When Character and Enemy techs are combined in one article. Add categories for both enemy techs and game-specific techs.
| |
| | |
| ===For Enemies/Bosses===
| |
| Each enemy or boss encounter whether optional or not must be included. It should be divided to:
| |
| *A template of the enemy
| |
| **Should include a minimum of HP/MP ATK/DEF, an image and where they can be found or encountered
| |
| *A brief description or '''Intro'''
| |
| *A '''strategy''' on how to beat (if necessary)
| |
| **A video strategy could also be included
| |
| *Optional
| |
| **'''Gallery'''
| |
| **'''Related Enemies''' (which can direct to other related enemies)
| |
| | |
| ====Multiple Encounters====
| |
| For multiples encounters, you can use a special template (see example below) which can combine all the different stats together without making the page unnecessarily huge and thus more organized:
