Help:Style Guide

Writing an Article
The basic formatting requirements when writing an article are as follows:
 * 1)  (E.g. Gus is the main protagonist of GLITCHED and is who the player controls throughout the game.
 * 2)  Too many or too few sections lowers the quality of an article. Each section should be as filled in as possible instead of spread out over multiple sections.
 * 3)  If something in the trivia section is already mentioned in part of the main article, it should not be in the trivia section.
 * 4)  If you write good you do good. Know you're grammar.
 * 5)  Too many images on a page just makes it look muddled and confusing. Although there are some articles which would require a more images, one or two images per section is more than sufficient. As a rule of thumb, more images are permissible as the amount of text in a section gets bulkier.
 * 6) Focus on primary, relevant information that summarizes the article. Extranneous or highly specific information likely belongs somewhere further down.

Article Sections
Different article types require different types of formatting. Each type of article should be formatted as close as possible to what is listed below. Remember that every article can still be a special case of its own, if it is necessary to stray from the recommended formatting for a given article, feel free to do so. Each article should be written as follows:

Character Articles

 * Character Infobox Template
 * Brief introduction
 * Personality
 * Biography (what they do in-game)
 * Relationships
 * Gallery
 * Trivia

Location Articles
* Each section of the map by map description should contain an image of that area's map. Because of this, galleries shouldn't include map files.
 * Location Infobox Template
 * General description
 * Map by map description*
 * Characters and locations of importance
 * Gallery*
 * Trivia

Item Articles

 * Item Infobox Template
 * Item description
 * Gallery
 * Trivia

Images
When adding images, is is generally advised to make sure an image is on the right side of an article. If the image doesn't automatically align to the right, doing so can be done by putting "right" in your image link in the source code. (E.g.  )

Galleries
Galleries should be used only once per article, and images should be organized in order of importance, where images directly relating to the article come first, while less important images, such as flavortext relating to the article, would come after. Captions should not be more than one or two sentences for each image.

Categorization
If a page does not have a category, before assigning one, know that all categories stem from the Browse category, and continue to branch from broader and more important groupings to more specific and niche groupings. When assigning a category, try to go as far down any one branch as possible, as most of the higher-up categories mainly consist of their corresponding sub-categories rather than articles. Do not categorize an article in a category meant exclusively for other subcategories unless there is no relevant subcategory within it that the article can be put under.

Talk Pages
There are two types of talk pages: article talk pages and user talk pages. Article talk pages are used for general discussion of an article or discussion of possibilites for edits. User talk pages are more focused on edits or conduct of that specific user. Talk page discussions should be indented such that replies are indented one more time than the message being replied to. And should look something like this

Happy writing! :)
