This page contains the Act of Aggression Wiki's Article layout guideline. It describes how content on an article page should be arranged in order to be consistent, organized, and readable.
Structure[]
In-game unit and structure articles[]
- Example: Terminator
When creating an article about a unit or structure, be sure to first check that no other article of that same subject exists. If there is, contribute to that existing article instead. The title of article must be the in-game name of the unit or structure. Articles with titles such as "AH-64E Apache Guardian" instead of "Guardian" will be renamed to the appropriate page.
In general, articles should have the following sections, in the following order (bold elements are a must-have):
- Infobox unit template: Infobox containing briefed summarized info about the unit or structure.
- Introductory paragraph: Short introductory paragraph providing the name and role of the unit/structure.
- Background: section explaining the history, equipment, weapons and all other lore-related information is provided here.
- Gameplay: In-game information.
- Produces/Abilities/Upgrades: a list of sideboxes, each describing any units/buildings produced, abilities performed, or related upgrades.
- Quotes: a list of the unit's quotes; not needed on structures and units that do not speak.
- Gallery: All images related to the unit/structure, such as concept art, renders and screenshots, go here.
- Trivia: Trivial information about the unit. Trivia must be in point form.
- References: the references heading, together with the Reflist template should be placed at the end of the article if any <ref> tags are used.
- See also: External and intrawiki links relating to the unit, such as Wikipedia.
- Navbox template: Any applicable navboxes go at the end of the article. Navbox must be added in Source mode as {{<FACTION> arsenal}}.
- Categories: To be placed at the end of the article; see this guideline for details on categorizing articles
Mission articles[]
- Infobox war template: Infobox containing briefed summarized info about the mission. Missions are to be treated somewhat as battles since they are part of the conflict in the game, thus is why the Infobox war template is used.
- Events: Section about the events that happened during the mission.
- Objectives: List of primary and secondary objectives.
- Walkthrough: Walkthrough for the mission.
