Help:Common mistakes and best practice

This page describes useful guidelines to follow to improve the wiki, explains some misconceptions, and documents a few mistakes to avoid.

Content

 * Articles on this wiki are not owned by the person who created them, the person or thing they are about, or anyone else, and any editor who wishes to contribute may do so. Sometimes articles will be protected so that only administrators or autoconfirmed users can edit them, in order to prevent vandalism or edit wars.
 * The first section of an article, called the lead section, introduces the topic of an article, which will usually be put in bold in the first sentence.
 * Infoboxes are panels put in the top right of an article to summarize key information about the topic of the article. This wiki uses infoboxes for groups, players, events, badges, and all catalog items—that is, accessories, gear, experiences, bundles, faces, heads, and clothing. These infoboxes are created by templates that can be transcluded in articles, and are documented on their template pages.
 * Notices such as the multiple issues and stub templates should be put above infoboxes.

Style

 * Article titles should usually be written in sentence case, be nouns or noun phrases, and use singular form. The article about promotional codes is called "Promotional code", not "Promotional Codes". Section titles should also be written in sentence case.
 * Articles should not contain trivia sections. These sections usually contain lists of disorganized information which, if relevant, would be better integrated into the text of the article.
