GTA Wiki:Manual of Style/People

In order to keep our wiki providing the best information regarding the real life people around the GTA series, there are guidelines that should be used in order to create high quality articles that ensure the best information and a convenient reading experience for readers. The articles do not need to be as detailed as those seen on Wikipedia, but they should give a good overview of the person being described, especially when noting how they are involved in the GTA series.

Format

 * Template:Infobox people
 * Intro (No headings required for opening section): For example: "X (born Month Day, Year in City, Country) is a/an Nationality Job(s).
 * Career: should be kept to a short length of around 3 paragraphs at an absolute maximum. Here the editor should give an overview of the person's career, leading with a description of their involvement in the Grand Theft Auto titles they have worked on. Other popular and notable works and projects may also be listed here, but should be kept at a maximum of 2–3 other works.
 * GTA Works: Short bullet-pointed section of each GTA games they were involved in and the role they played, followed by the release date. For example: Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas - Carl Johnson (2004).
 * External Links: Short bullet-pointed section. Always place the IMDb page first, followed by their own website (if applicable), then any relevant social media accounts for the person.
 * Notice: While IMDb may be listed as an external link on their page, it may NOT be used as a acting credit citation for the characters they have played. Please see the Characters Manual of Style for more information.

What to avoid

 * Maintaining a resume of work history after the person ceases to be involved in the GTA series is not required.
