Dragon Age Wiki:Manual of Style/Basic layout

This is a basic layout which is encouraged to use for most articles on the wiki.

Lead section
The lead section is anything included before the table of contents and/or the article content. It does not have any headings. With the exception of the introductory text, they are optional, depending on the situation, and must follow this order:


 * 1) Disambiguation links (for, about) if there is another article of the same name, or may be confused with another. See DISAMBIG for more information.
 * 2) Article maintenance tags (stub, pictures wanted)
 * 3) Infobox
 * 4) Short introductory text, explaining what this article is about. See LEAD for more information.
 * 5) Table of contents, which generally appears after the lead, provided there is more than four headings. If the page is long but does not have any table of contents, you may manually add it with.

Article content
This depends on the type of article. All sections are optional. A list of other layout guidelines will be provided here.

Gallery
Use  to display the pictures in a table. Please read the guidelines regarding pictures on the wiki in general.

See Help:Galleries and slideshows/wikitext for more information.

Trivia
Trivia should be listed using. Please follow the guidelines.

Bugs
Bugs should be listed using. Use the templates PC, MAC, PS3, XBOX when appropriate (generally at the beginning of the sentence). Consider removing them if it has been fixed as to not clog the bugs section. Try to keep the explanation concise.

Additionally, you may include one link to a fan-made bug fix. However, the link should be removed once it has been patched.

Navboxes
See our current navigational boxes.

Categories
Avoid clogging the article with categories of subcategories (e.g., a dagger in Dragon Age II should only be listed within Category:Dragon Age II daggers and Category:Dragon Age II generic weapons).

To make the article sort different than the page name, you may either use. If you want the article to appear at the top the category page (e.g., Orlais in Category:Orlais), you may instead only sort it within that category by using a space:.

For more information on categories, see the help page on Wikipedia.

Interlanguage links
If the page exists in another language, you are welcome to add it.
