Pages and page titles
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: TextMesh Pro.
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: Guides/Editing a JSON file.
Pages describing game content or game mechanics should be put into a game's namespace, for example: Gadvia:Adventure mode. If a game does not have a namespace, a new namespace should be requested.
Game guides should be put into the game's namespace, under the "Guides" page, for example: Gadvia:Guides/Extracting game files.
Pages that contain information about the wiki itself should be put in the meta namespace (Rhythm Game Wiki), for example: Rhythm Game Wiki:Copyrights.
Files and pages in other namespaces
Template titles should have no spaces and be in PascalCase, for example Template:DataStructure
Files (images, videos, audio, etc.) for specific games that are put into the File: (or Media:) namespace, have a GameName- prefix, for example: Media:Rizline-Disc 2 Image.png.
Templates for specific games are in the Template: namespace, have a GameName prefix, for example: Template:RizlineDiscInfoBox.
Dates and times
Dates should be generally using the extended format of ISO 8601. In short:
- for the UTC timezone, it's the following format:
YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ssZ(for example:2024-12-06T09:00Z). - for other timezones, it's the following format:
YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ss+TZOFFSET(for example, for UTC+8:2024-12-06T17:00+08:00).
This format is both machine-readable and human-readable, and is not ambiguous. Using this format everywhere on the wiki avoids confusion.
Game-specific guidelines
Game-specific guidelines apply only to specific games on the wiki. The game-specific guidelines are on separate pages listed below:
