Links
I recommend that we avoid using links to sub headers as much as possible e.g. [[Status Effectst#thirsty|thirsty]] or [[Equipment#Devices|Devices]], instead use redirects for the most common term. It would work exactly the same, be shorter to write, and in-case during development things go another way or someone decide to revise the target article structure, all it will take is a single edit to fix it (as oppose to link hunting with AWB. --AnotherArk (talk) 00:15, 24 October 2014 (UTC)
Color Code
did you take the color code from my page? that was only an overview for myself, not a design rule for the wiki, allthough i dont have problem establishing it as a general rule. (also the magazine row is twice there)--TheBlackDracula (talk)
- Indeed I have first noticed the color scheme on your user page. Since its used on all our item pages, I added here for documentation. The purpose is to not to create set in stone rules, but keep us informed and on the same page, as well as an outlet to discuss\suggest any wiki wide layout\style changes (with writing\layout\design). --AnotherArk (talk) 13:47, 24 October 2014 (UTC)
Weapon article layouts
Most of our Weapon articles share several common elements. ( A section/paragraph covering the weapon background in real life; an attachments section; A Gallery section and usually trivia section that covers various development related info or tips ) What missing is a free text overview of the weapon, since the infoboxes suppose to provide an summary of the article, not replace it. For compraison here see http://dayz.gamepedia.com/Sporter_22 vs http://dayz-standalone.wikia.com/wiki/Sporter_22
I think that some focus on our weapon articles can greatly improve their quality. Here is a general layout suggestion:
==Background== Summary of the weapon history in real life, preferably with link to Wikipedia at the bottom. ==Overview== An overview of the weapon in game and or strategy on how to best utilize it. ==Attachments== ==Gallery== ==Trivia==
Any thoughts/suggestions ? --AnotherArk (talk) 08:20, 31 October 2014 (UTC)
The Background section can be replaced by a link to wikipedia because the game is placed in a alternative timeline from rl. Like with the CR weapons for example. I also personally find the infoboxes usage as a info back better than the on wikia. --Basinox (talk) 08:30, 31 October 2014 (UTC)
