Main game pages / Sub pages[]
Main Pages[]
For the main page of a game, the format will be as such:
{{ {{subst:PAGENAME}} }} {{Infobox game |androidrelease = |iosrelease = |switchrelease = |playstationrelease = |steamrelease = |japanese = |romaji = }} '''{{subst:PAGENAME}}''' is ____ type of game + Intro --Game Related Sections-- such as items, residents, monsters, etc ==Trivia== * ==External Links== *{{TranslateLink|LINK|Official Page}} *{{TranslateLink|LINK|Japanese Wiki}} {{Game platform list |googleplay = |ios = |switch = |playstation = |steam = }} ==Language packs== {{LanguagePackSection|file=}} {| class="article-table" !Language !CSV !Author(s) !Source !Notes |- | | | | | |- | | | | | |} ==Gallery== <gallery> </gallery> {{Game}}
The page will also have a category added on with the same name as the game by GameHeader, to which all sub pages / images should also be added to.
Sub Pages[]
Each game is also comprised of many sub sections. When making a page related to a specific game, the page should be called: Page name (Game Name). For legibility reasons, search engine optimization, as well as avoiding conflicts, the full game name will be used. It should then have the game's {{GameNav}} template added (ex: {{Game Dev Story}}). This will automatically add the game's category.
When adding a new sub page for a game, the following things should also be done as soon as possible:
- Make the sub page for the game (as explained above). The page should be called:
Page name (Full Game Name)
. - Update the appropriate game's navigation template.
- If necessary, update (or create) the appropriate disambiguation page.
- (optional) Update the game's main page by adding a link to the new page you just added. You will want to add a new section and use the {{Main}} template, preferably with a brief summary.
Adding a new game[]
When adding a new game, the following things should also be done as soon as possible:
- Make the main page for the game (as explained above) / move Japanese page for the game (and replace infobox with {{Infobox game}}). All major words in the game should have the first letter capitalized (ex: Game Dev Story).
- If a page for untranslated version exists, redirect / rename / delete relevant stuff (and remove any links pointing to it). Add images to page's gallery (and fix their categories).
- Protect the page from being moved (avoid vandalism).
- Make sure to add the proper "External Links".
- If having a hard time finding release date, try https://www.appbrain.com/ or a similar site.
- Create a template for the game (ex: {{Game Dev Story}}) for use in article pages related to that game, which will use {{GameNav}}.
- Create the Category page for the game. While it may appear on the category section, the actual category page should be created with a link to main page of the game. Do this by placing
{{Game category}}
onto that category (this will also add Category:Game categories automatically). - Upload images (always add game's category to them):
- Game's app icon (category: Category:Game icons)
- Game's banner (category: Category:Banners)
- Gamenav icon taken from http://kairosoft.net (category: Category:Gamenav icons, file name ending:
gamenav icon.gif
) - make sure to trim any white space! max height of 40px - Upload trailer (if there is one; can be found on android store page)
- Create the Manual / Tip / Endgame pages for the game (using the red links on the GameNav for the game), by placing the GameNav template on each page, and then place the {{Endgame}} / {{BugsAndCheats}} / {{ManualHeader}} / {{Tips}} (using the "Quick copy/paste" provided) templates on the respective pages.
- Update {{Project:NewestGames}}.
- Update Module:Game/data. This will automatically update the following, although page server cache may need to be purged:
- {{Project:GameList}} and {{Project:GameList/mobile}}.
- {{Game}}.
- {{Project:RandomBanner}}.
- Update {{Project:News}}, as well as create a discussion for it.
- Add to any social media wiki is in charge of and link to discussion thread.
New port of existing English game[]
Since Kairosoft releases on multiple platforms, it is important to edit the wiki to reflect when a game is released on a second or more platform. Things to edit:
- Update game's page:
- {{Infobox game}}.
- Add link to the game's store page under "External Links" on the game's main page.
- {{Project:GameList}} (mobile has nothing to update).
- {{Game}}
- Update {{Project:NewestGames}}.
- Update {{Project:News}} as you would when a new game is added.
New Japanese Game[]
- Make the main page for the game (in Japanese, not using Romaji).
- Add {{Untranslated}} and {{Infobox untranslated}}.
- Add all known dates, the Romaji, and possible translation.
- Make sure to add the proper "External Links".
- Upload an icon for the game (ex: Category:Game icons) and add to game icon category, as well as Category:Untranslated games.
- Upload a banner (ex: Category:Banners) and add to banners category, as well as Category:Untranslated games.
- Update Untranslated games page with new game.
- Update {{Game}} (potentially).
- Update {{Project:News}}, as well as create a discussion for it.
