NintendoWiki:Article structure

An article structure is useful in determining what categories, templates and sections should be seen on every page of a specific content type. This is to help the reader of said pages, as they will be able to learn what to expect on certain pages, in which improves their ability to read a page at first glance, and to find information on a page, should they ever return to it later on.

These are the current Article structure standards

1st and 2nd Party Games

• [Main]
  • (First section)
    • {{exitstub}}, used only if there's a NIWA-member wiki that provides such info for the particular video game.
    • {{game infobox}}
  • Blurb, a saying that can be usually found in the back of the box art, grabbing the attention of the reader. These things disappear in later titles.

• If the article is completely done, and there's an {{exitstub}} in the page - lock it from further editing.
• If there is no {{exitstub}} in the page that links to the affiliated NIWA Wiki, feel free to add more info. For example, Donkey Kong Country has a exitstub that links to Donkey Kong Wiki.
