Twinsuniverse:Articles layout
| This article is a stub [list all]. You can help the Twinsuniverse by expanding it. |
This page contains instructions as to how to write articles for the Twinsunica, loosely based on the old instructions in this thread. While not always necessary, preferably use this layout in your articles.
Image
Start with one image that best represents the subject. Preferably make the image no larger than 250 pixels in width. If there is an infobox in the article (see below), put the image there, and not out of it.
Infobox
For characters, islands, inventory objects and enemies, use the appropriate infobox. See Help:Templates and the templates list for additional assistance. No need to write "infobox" in the title, of course.
Description
Here goes your extended description, being as detailed as possible. Do not go too much into details about something if there are sub-articles related to it. For example, an article about Twinsun can mention the islands of the planet, but should not go into details about each one. Unless the subject is directly related to Twinsen, try not to mention him at all in this section. Only write a general description, without yet describing the subject's role in the games.
Also, do not make up any facts or details. Only provide information which is absolutely true in the games.
The first mention of the subject of the article should appear in bold. For example, "Twinsen is a young quetch living on Citadel Island...."
Role in the games
The next paragraphs should describe what the subject of the article has to do with Twinsen's adventures. Try to be much more descriptive than "Twinsen used this item to do [whatever]". For example, in inventory objects articles, start with why Twinsen needs the object on the first place, where Twinsen finds it, how he uses it, where he uses it, etc. Try being as descriptive as possible.
See also
For some articles, you may want to use this section to include links to articles not mentioned in the article. For example, all islands articles contain links to the categories of the inhabitants of the island.
Related threads
Here comes a list of related forum threads in the Magicball Network forums. The list should be divided into General, Hints\Spoilers and Fan Art sections, each one with a level 3 headline (===). Use the Thread template to easily link to threads.
