The purpose of this page is to familiarize you with the categories and templates used on this wiki as well as the general style of the various types of articles including how to present certain types of information. You are not obligated to follow the style outlined here, but you should at least add pages you create to the proper category so they can be easily found.
For general information on Wiki syntax, see [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Editing Help:Editing on Wikipedia]. To practice wiki editing, use the [[Game Tech Wiki:Scratchpad|Scratchpad]].
==Categories==
To add a page to a category, you need to include the line<br>
<code><nowiki>[[Category:CATEGORYNAME]]</nowiki></code><br>somewhere in the page's code (preferably at the bottom), where CATEGORYNAME is the name of the category, for example <code><nowiki>[[Category:Repair]]</nowiki></code>.
To link to a category page, you can use normal wiki syntax for linking to other pages on the wiki, but you must add : before Category. For instance, the code for [[:Category:Console|this link]] is <code><nowiki>[[:Category:Console|this link]]</nowiki></code>.
==Templates==
To use a template in a page, use the syntax <code><nowiki>{{template_name}}</nowiki></code> where you want the template to be. You do not need to prefix the template name with <code>Template:</code> or capitalize the name. For more information about using and creating templates, see [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Template Help:Template on Wikipedia].
 
===Template:Emulation===
===Template:Infobox console===
===Template:Stub===
This is the standard stub template used on most wikis. Inserting <code><nowiki>{{Stub}}</nowiki></code> in an article will produce:
:<div class="notice metadata plainlinks" id="stub"><span style="color:#9c0000">''This article is a [[:Category:Article stubs|stub]]. You can help {{SITENAME}} by [{{fullurl:{{FULLPAGENAME}}|action=edit}} expanding it].''</span></div>
===Template:WIP===
This is the standard work-in-progress template used on most wikis. Inserting <code><nowiki>{{WIP}}</nowiki></code> in an article will produce:
:<div class="notice metadata plainlinks" id="wip"><span style="color:#9c0000">''This {{#switch:{{{1}}} | section = section | article}} is a [[:Category:Article WIP|work in progress (WIP)]]. You can help {{SITENAME}} by [{{fullurl:{{FULLPAGENAME}}|action=edit}} improving it].''</span></div>
