GTA Wiki:Manual of Style/Radio Stations

In order to keep our wiki providing the best information about radio stations to the reader there are set guidelines that should be used in order to create high-quality articles that ensure the best information and a convenient reading experience for readers. Standard rules such as "neutral point of view" and third-person perspective apply for editing for radio station articles.

Format

 * Intro (No headings required for opening section) should contain Template:Infobox radio station. The intro should also contain a short summary about the radio station and the game(s) it appears in.
 * Overview/Description
 * Should be a written expansion of information summarized by the infobox - music genres, DJ information, which characters prefer the station, studio location if known, broadcast locations and limits etc.


 * Tracklist (If 80% of the tracklist is available on Spotify, it can contain Template:Tracklist with Template:Spotify previews. Example: Liberty Rock Radio)
 * Appearances
 * Missions(Only if the song is scripted to play during the mission.)
 * Other Appearances (Trailers, in-game TV Shows, Commercials, inside businesses...)
 * Gallery (if there is any photos to post in the article)
 * Trivia
 * See trivia policy - Trivia should be avoided whenever possible and integrated into the above sections.


 * Navigation

What to avoid

 * Using copyrighted songs on  audio files. (Unless it is a song made for the game e.g. Grand Theft Auto 1, Grand Theft Auto 2 and Grand Theft Auto Advance soundtrack)
 * If necessary, upload a  audio file that is less than 10 seconds long, using the Fair use license. See GTA Wiki:Copyright for more detail on our copyright policy.
 * The  audio file must have a recognizable part of the music.
 * Adding tracklist template for unused songs mentioned in the game's files which were obviously never licensed.
 * Opinions, speculation and and fan-fiction content.
 * Adding modded images to article pages, as the natural forms are all that is necessary.
 * Adding images alongside text in loose form. Images should only be in the lead infobox or one of the organised galleries.
 * "The sky is blue" trivia points; we would like to avoid the possibility of patronizing our readers.
