In order to keep our wiki providing the best information about gangs to the public, there are set of 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 gang articles.
Format[]
The standard format that shall be used for all new gang articles created after 20 July, 2013 is as follows. Under Heading 2 (heading 3 for insets), the following sections must be created in this order;
- (No headings required for opening section). Necessary maintenance templates such as {{Template:Unreleased}}, {{Template:Stub}} or {{Template:Cleanup}} along with the gang infobox {{Template:Infobox gang}} containing a group photo (where available) and/or group logo/emblem. Beside the infobox should be a single sentence introducing the gang; it's full name and the title(s) that it appears in.
- History
- Background
- Events in [name of the game(s)]
- Mission Appearances
- Members and Associates !
- Members
- Associates
- Vehicles !
- Weapons !
- Turf
- Influence
- (real life gangs)
- Gallery
- Trivia
- Navigation (no need for heading navigation box only and the name of the gang should be in navbox)
! - Sections should include a gallery in preference to a plain bulleted list. Weapon and vehicle galleries should show member(s) actively using the items, rather than reference images.
What to avoid[]
- Opinions and biased information.
- Speculation will be met with very low tolerance and will most likely be removed.
- 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.
