These guidelines apply to all games on the wiki.
== Pages and page titles == <!--T:8-->
<!--T:9-->
* Pages that focus on general mechanics, content, or tools, that are not specific to any one game, should be put into the main namespace, for example: {{ll|TextMesh Pro}}.
<!--T:10-->
* Guides that describe general topics that are not game-specific, or relate to multiple games at once, should be put into the main namespace, under the "Guides" page, for example: {{ll|Guides/Editing a JSON file|Guides/Editing a JSON file}}.
<!--T:11-->
* Pages describing game content or game mechanics should be put into a game's namespace, for example: {{ll|Gadvia:Adventure mode|Gadvia:Adventure mode}}. If a game does not have a namespace, a new namespace should be requested.
<!--T:12-->
* Game guides should be put into the game's namespace, under the "Guides" page, for example: {{ll|Gadvia:Guides/Extracting game files|Gadvia:Guides/Extracting game files}}.
<!--T:13-->
* Pages that contain information about the wiki itself should be put in the meta namespace (<code>Rhythm Game Wiki</code>), for example: {{ll|Rhythm Game Wiki:Copyrights|Rhythm Game Wiki:Copyrights}}.
=== Files and pages in other namespaces ===
* Template titles should have no spaces and be in [[Wikipedia:PascalCase|PascalCase]], for example [[Template:DataStructure]]
* Files (images, videos, audio, etc.) for specific games that are put into the <code>File:</code> (or <code>Media:</code>) namespace, have a <code>GameName-</code> prefix, for example: [[Media:Rizline-Disc 2 Image.png]].
* Templates for specific games are in the <code>Template:</code> namespace, have a <code>GameName</code> prefix, for example: [[Template:RizlineDiscInfoBox]].
== Sections ==
Any content page may or may not contain any of the following sections. If the page does have any of these sections, they should be placed at the end of the page, in order:
* '''Gallery''' - images/media related to the page.
* '''See also''' - links to other related pages on the wiki.
* '''References''' - footnotes for the article.
{{Todo|Install [[mw:Extension:Cite]] to this wiki}}
* '''External links''' - unordered list of links to other websites related to this page.
* '''Navigation''' - [[mw:transclusion|transcluded]] navigation boxes from [[:Category:Navigation_boxes]].
