Decend articles are articles that have risen above stub status, but aren't yet good article-worthy.


We thank the contributors of the follwoing pages as they were a big help in creating the topics covered here.

Remember this is not a governance of each contribution. If you want to contribute information, in complete disregards to this guide, then do so. We would rather have you contribute and break a rule, and then not contribute at all.

A decent article - is considered to be on it's way to being good, but still requires fixing and expanding before being so.

Language usage

As a article develops, people put in their own influences. As much as we appreciate contributions, we also need to make sure information is not lost due to some form of communication error.

Sections

  • Sections need to be titled correctly, and they need to follow the rules of spelling and grammar, just as the rest of the article does.

Templates

  • Templates need to look good on an article, almost to the point a view will not realize it's a template. If a template needs fixing, in your fixing of the article, please bring it to the attention of everyone by marking the template, not the article you are working on. Templates have there own discussion pages for these types of things.

Verification

A decent article not only has references, but has a variety of them to choose from. There are three main types of references, and they breakdown as follows:

  • First-party - is something that said or when on in the games themselves.
  • Second Party - is something found on an official publication, website or archive there of.
  • Third Party - is a reputable source created by a fan of the series, an expert in a scientific field, a game review site, etc.


How do i know when i should use what type?

That depends on the situation. Situations that a quotes from a character will help, then used a first- or second-party citation.
