Board Thread:Wiki discussion/@comment-5632246-20150831055512

I just joined the wiki a couple days ago, so I might be wrong about this. I'm also terrible at explaining things, so bear with me.

I think the wiki should have a standard format for certain types of pages. This means that there is a specific way that pages are written (different for each category, of course), and the editors fill in the info. I've noticed that the wiki still seems disorganized and immature, despite the articles being very well written. For example, check out Korblox's Empire, Knights of the Splintered Skies, and Knights of RedCliff. They're good articles, but they're formatted really differently and it makes them look worse.

Below are some example formats, which is what I think is a good format that the wikia should use in general. However, I haven't been on the community for a while, and there are likely better ways to write articles than mine.

 Catalog Format  Catalog items tend to have very small pages, so maybe heading 3 or 4 would be appropriate for these.
 * Appearance
 * Function (if gear)
 * History (creation and prices)
 * Trivia (based off of other items or in a set of items. This would be a good way to implement crosslinking)
 * An infobox

 Games  I'd think games should have larger pages, so heading 1-2 should be okay
 * Synopsis (w/o headings, goes over genre, creator, rise to fame)
 * Gameplay (and all subsections; because of ROBLOX's nature no one can really dictate that)
 * Development
 * See Also (maybe for games with a similar genre or shared story, another good way to crosslink)

 Groups  Heading 1-2
 * Synopsis(see above)
 * History
 * Products (probably varied names depending on type of group, Forts for war clans, Builds for building groups, etc.)
 * Ranks

As this is a wiki, I don't think that these should be a rule or be enforced (other than editors rewriting the page), but the regular editors of the wiki should start using some sort of standard format.
