CrossFire: Legends Wiki:Article format

This page will detail the general rules regarding CF: Legends Wikia's Article format. Please follow them when you make a new article and/or edit an existing one.

## Weapons

* Make sure to name article based on weapons' name. If multiple names exist, create a redirect for them.
* Weapons article must include the **Template:Weapon** with their basic info. Obtain them from Wikipedia if there are no official information from publisher.
* Additional images (HUD, render, etc...) should be included in a **Gallery** section. If there are gameplay / review videos, please make the **Videos** section.

## Maps

* Make sure to name article based on maps' name. If multiple names exist, create a redirect for them.
* Map Icons should be included at the start of the article. Use the one with English text if possible.
* Additional images (HUD, render, etc...) should be included in a **Gallery** section. If there are gameplay / review videos, please make the **Videos** section.

## Characters

* Make sure to name article based on characters' name.
* Character articles should include the **Template:Character** with preview images and basic info. Make sure that preview image include both GR/BL models.
* Additional images (HUD, render, etc...) should be included in a **Gallery** section. If there are gameplay / review videos, please make the **Videos** section.

## Gallery policies

* We accepts render, ingame images, HUD and side-views for illusion demonstrate. Do not add too many images showing the same stuff, it'll cause the page to be too heavy.
* If possible, edit the images before uploading first. Things like IGN, chat text, etc... should be blurred out to follow our privacy rule.
	+ Images must be clear of Watermark unless from official publishers / developers / Wikia Admin. Adding watermarks to images just to promote yourself is not fair and unacceptable on CF: Legends Wikia. If you do not intend to share resource with us, don't bother posting at all.

### Render Policices

* Each weapon can have 2 renders, a left-side view and a front-quarter view. Additional renders might be accepted if desired.
* Renders must be at least 1280 x 720 pixels. Recommended size: 1920 x 1080.
* Renders MUST be in PNG format with transparent background. Convert and clear background first before uploading.

### HUD Policices

* HUD images should be taken in bright environment. Avoid staying in dark area with bad lightning or heavy shadow.
* Widescreen images are recommended, but not mandatory required. 4:3 images WILL be replaced with better one in 16:9 in the future if possible however.
* For weapons, it's best to have no VVIPs or ammo mag items equipped in order to show the original ammo count, but this is not a strict requirement. DON'T replace other members' images with yours for this reason.

## Videos policies

* Each article can accept up to 3 types of videos - Preview/Review, Gameplay, Montage and Misc content (Showcase, Highlight or similar).
* Do not remove other's videos to add yours, unless yours is better in quality or the video in question violates our rules. An exception is Admins/Higher-up/Trusted editors videos, which have generally higher priority.

## General

* CF: Legends Wikia's official language is English. If you wish to have additional language, create your own Wikia and then translate the contents here.
* Avoid refering to players character as "you" - stick with the term "players" to refer to actual people playing CrossFire: Legends and not "you".
* DO NOT create placeholder articles. Wait until more info are available before creating them.
