Global wiki guidelines

These guidelines apply to all games on the wiki.

Writing style

Use italics when you are referring to the title of the game.

Gadvia is a mobile rhythm game

You may use a link and italics when you are referring to the title of the game for the first time and the game might be relevant to the reader.

Gadvia is a mobile rhythm game.

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).

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.

This format is both machine-readable and human-readable, and is not ambiguous. Using this format everywhere on the wiki avoids confusion.

Useful templates

Text formatting

Template:Tooltip

The following text has a tooltip. Hovering your mouse over it will display a message.

Template:Date - shows a tooltip with the date in the user's timezone (using JavaScript).
