Common elements

Each game page should have a few things in common:

• Title of the game
• Quick summary of the game
• Links to other pages or category sections that relate to the game tips and content.
• Category links at the bottom for Games, Platform, Genere, Publisher.

Example of the category links at the bottom of each game page:

[[Category:Games]] Puts the game on the all games list
[[Category:XBOX 360]] Puts the game on the XBOX 360 games list
[[Category:Survival Horror]] Puts the game on the Survival Horror genere list
[[Category:Capcom]] Puts the game on the Campcom list

The above example was taken from the Dead Rising page. Genere could include multiple genere types for which you would list the multiple generes before listing the publisher category.

Sidebar Template

The sidebar template should be used for each game page. Usage and instructions can be found on the Template:Game page.

Stub Pages

Game stub pages, or pages with minimal placeholder information, should be tagged with the Game Stub template below:

{{GameStub}} Puts the GameStub template on the page
