This is a (rough) guide for formatting Fancade wiki pages.
This is a (rough) guide for formatting Fancade wiki pages.
== Notability ==
This section talks about when to create a wiki page for certain categories.
=== Games ===
In general, articles for games should be created if at least one of criteria is met:
* They are in the [[list of featured games]]
* Is on a series and at least one of the games in the series is featured ([[c]])
* Contains technical details ([[Extreme Painist]])
=== Scripts ===
Articles under the Script folder should be created mostly when:
* It is useful for future readers
* It contains details necessary to build the script ([[How to make hexagons]])
* The article is long enough to warrant its own article
** If it is short, consider putting it on the necessary block.

Games with a conflicting article, regardless of casing should write "by", then the author enclosed in parenthesis. No formal rule is set, so currently the newer article should disambiguate the author. ([[h]] and [[H (by HexaPhoenix)]])

A snapshot of the game may optionally come first before the article content. Please use one image only.  
Place the infobox [[Template:Game]]. Fill the corresponding parameters. It should appear as follows:
 
<pre>
{{Game
|title=1024
|author=Tzomby
|guid=5C9791AF15FB9DF9
}}
</pre>


Afterwards, the game name is written, and should link to its corresponding '''play.fancade.com''' game, with a description of the game thereafter, which may include:

Other articles may not fit in the category. In this case, proper formatting. When in doubt, you may use the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Title_case#Chicago_Manual_of_Style|Chicago Manual of Style] for title casing of articles, unless the article title and content is similar to a Q-and-A format, to which you can use sentence casing (mostly [[Build]] articles, like [[How to create a circle]])
