Editing Guidelines

This is a guide on how to make the best edits for the wiki. Follow them to get respected edits and have a less likely chance of your edits being edited over, making an article in the formats below also make editing much easier as they will all follow the same standards or templates.

## WHAT NOT TO DO (READ IF YOU AREN'T STUPID)

I am putting this first cause I know some people can't read, while I assume you have read the Wiki Rules first... you should also consider what I don't want to see in pages:

**If you can't make a Fandom account, do not make edits.** If you do not have an account, then your username when you make edits is your IP address. I don't trust CnR players enough to know the IPs of other people (even if you are using a VPN) - sorry guys.

* Do **NOT** mention anything to do with players, player rankings, or community organised resources. Do **NOT** post IDs of players. I only want Wiki material to contain game-created content therefore player rankings and other things are independent from this. I will allow only mentioning the name of first-place Season winners and winning prizes for the Workshop contests as JoyDo posts these names on their social medias. **This wiki is not a place to upload your player tier lists.**
* **REAL NAMES** of maps and guns only. Do not call maps other names unless the page says '[name], commonly known as [other name]' - if you are using other names keep it to their page only. Death Platform should only be referred to as Death Platform on all pages except it's own. Season Maps must be called their real names (Citywars, Crystal Cavern, Seaport, City Square, Old Temple). Maps with unknown names can be given a placeholder.
* **Old versions** of maps, guns, skins etc must have screenshots either from the old version itself, or be a perfect remake on the current version. Do not post the Gray Death Platform that snipers use, it is not accurate.

## Template Glossary

All templates are added by typing the name of the template in code brackets {{like this}}.

* China: Adds a banner showing content exclusive to the China Version is in this article.
* Season: Used for pages concerning Season Mode
* Removed: For content removed from the game.
* Stub: For pages with minimal content
* Unfinished: To mark pages with missing information or pages that aren't complete.
* Unconfirmed: For content that has speculation.
* Coins: Adds a coin icon in text
* Gems: Adds a gem icon in text.
* Tokens: Adds a token icon in text.

## Article Creation

Check the Wiki Checklist to see what people should add first.

### Weapons

All articles about a weapon **must use** the `Weapon` infobox template provided and should be added to the article first. Other templates like banners that go on the top of the page should be added last, but written above the infobox. The code editor can be used to help you. Every infobox item image renders the best with a 300x300 image selected. If the image is low quality it can be used if there is no higher quality image but they should be replaced by a higher quality image in the future.

For a weapon with skins, you can use a tabber to make a tabbed display of multiple skins, in the 'image1' section of the Infobox item, you can add a tabber by writing this in an image section:

```
<tabber>Tab 1=[[File:Filename]]
</tabber>
```
This example shows a tabber for three skins (three images), to add more skins, just copy one of the lines to make a fourth, fifth image etc.
The starter section should say the the name of the weapon, the weapon type, the release date and/or the event it is part of, the price and a piece of information about the weapon. An example of this is:

> The FAMAS is a Rifle released on December 17th, 2019 during the Ice Carnival 2019 update. It is purchasable in the store for  6000 and is the most recent Rifle to be purchased in the store.
>
>

To get the coins and gems icon next to a piece of text, type in `{{coins}}` or `{{gems}}` before the number, you do not need to put 'coins' or 'gems' after the amount as this is redundant.

The Description, Gameplay Tips, Appearance and Origin, and History sections are required, and should be written neutrally, **do not say a gun is good because you use it well**. Compare it to other weapons by stats. For example, the Red Devil has an accuracy of 46, the lowest of all weapons in it's category, it would be significant to note such a bad stat in the article regardless of how neutral it's meant to be. Note advantages and disadvantages of bad stats, like lower accuracy guns with higher damage being better at close ranges.

The Description page should also note down some details (but not simple trivia) that would not fit in the top section of an article. Any simple trivia like a similarity between another gun in style or a weird fact/glitch should be put in Trivia only.

## Uploading Media

All pictures of guns **must be obtained from the Inventory/power up menu**, where possible, as that has the best render, This can also assure me I can fit every gun in thumbnails. I will vouch you if you use an iPad screenshot as the source image as the gun models are rendered with a higher quality.

If you are showing a photo of chat, players, etc make sure the names, skins and other UGC are appropriate to post on a public web page. Any 18+ content I will remove.
