How to create Articles

First of all I highly recommend you read the help on the Wiki fandom.

*Also, you can find and transled already finished articles on RU wikia here.*

*Example how perfect article should look like.*

# An article about weapon

The first step is to insert two infobox templates, in the following order:

1.  *'Weapon'*  - weapon characteristics. When you insert it, a form will appear in which you will need to register them.

**Try to always write ways to get weapon ONLY in this template! Not at the beginning of the article.**

2.  *'Upgrade11'*  - data about pumped characteristics. You can fill anything (just put any character), but only in those lines, the characteristics of which are pumped on this weapon.

**How to insert:**

**Edit > Insert > Template****Write template name**
*In signatures - option for writing in the source code (classsic editor):*

```
{{Weapon}}
```

```
{{Upgrade11}}
```

## Introductory paragraph

**Only for EXCLUSIVE weapons**

Here you need to describe the shortest information about the rifle: type of rifle, country of production. Also, provided that this weapon can only be obtained from containers, you need to specify from which container this weapon can be obtained.

### Example

***Can be obtained from Elite container***

*Lobaev Arms's modern sniper rifle.*

## Features

Here you need to describe the features of this weapon, its advantages and disadvantages. You can even describe its tactical value and usage.

## Modifications

**Table type *"Attachment|Effects|Cost"*.**

*How it looks like in sourse code (classic editor):*

```
{| class="article-table"
!Attachment
!Effects
!Cost

```

**Also, we need a gallery with modifications.**

### Example

Sight "Kobra"Front gripSuppressorWith all modifications
*How it looks like in sourse code (classic editor):*

```
<gallery hideaddbutton="true">
Sight Cobra 1.jpg|Sight "Kobra"
Tactical handle 1.jpg|Front grip
Muffler 2.jpg|Suppressor
GG WP.jpg|With all modifications
</gallery>

```

## Skins

**Here you need a gallery with photos of all the colorings of this weapon.**

### Example

AKS-74U "Plastic"AKS-74U "Syndicate"AKS-74U "Swamp"
*How it looks like in sourse code (classic editor):*

```
<gallery hideaddbutton="true">
aks74uplastic.png|AKS-74U "Plastic"
aks74usyndicate.png|AKS-74U "Syndicate"
kk12.png|AKS-74U "Swamp"
</gallery>

```

## IRL

**Here you need a small text about the use of these weapons in the real world.**

## End of weapon page

At the end you need to put a template - ***"Weapon Nav"***.

**How to insert:**

**Edit > Insert > Template****Write template name**
*Or like that (classic editor):*

```
{{Weapon_Nav}}
```

# Adding categories

A very important thing for easy orientation on wikipedia pages is categories.

For сontainers it is *Containers* category (and etc).

Also, all weapons have specific category (like *Weapons from rank* or *Shotgun*/*Sniper rifle*). Don't forget about it!

**Enter Classic Editor****Find Categories, write new and press "Enter"**
# *Information for translators* / *Информация для переводчиков*

Всегда смотрите, что Вы написали.

Огромное количество ошибок всплывает из-за копирования текста без предварительного редактирования/замены русских слов.

Разберём несколько примеров.

## Неправильный вики-текст

```
[[Файл:NewSuperCoolContainer.png]]
```

Здесь нет такого понятия, как "**Файл:**", есть "**File:**".

```
[[Шаблон:Weapon]]
```

Опять, тут нет подстановки под слово "**Шаблон:**", зато есть "**Template:**".

```
[[Категория:Shotgun]]
```

Аналогично. Не "**Категория:**", а "**Category:**".

## Опечатки или описки

**M16A4** и **М16А4**

С виду одно и то же?

Рассмотрим поближе.

Слова на другом языке подчеркнуты красным маркером при редактировании. В будущем это чревато последствиями с неправильными ссылками на статьи.

**Все слова на англо-вики должны быть на английском!**

*(данная статья исключение)*

## Отсутствие шаблонов или их другое название

```
[[Template:Details]]
```

На момент моего присутствия этот шаблон отсутствовал, поэтому пришлось писать его вручную.

```
[[Template:Оружие_final]]
```

Здесь нет понятия "**Шаблон:Оружие\_final**", его аналог на этой Википедии просто "**Template:Weapon**"
