Half-Life Wiki:Layout Guide

As mentioned above, articles of a similar type should follow a similar layout in order to be consistent. Although it has not been precisely defined properly, some tacit layouts have been applied to some articles. Some are good, some are bad. They will properly be defined in the future. The only defined layouts so far are thus:


 * Like on any wiki, the article must feature a short introduction, starting by the article name in in bold. A game title must be in bold and in italics. At least one relevant picture should be at the right side of the article (in the infobox when there is one). Then the main article starts, with its first or only subtitle.
 * After the main contents, the end of an article should include ==Behind the scenes==, ==Trivia== , ==Notes and references== , ==See also== and External links== in this order. When there is nothing to say in these sections, they must not be included.

"Behind the scenes" and "Trivia" sections

 * "Behind the scenes" is for development information, such as design evolution, cut content, name change, etc. "Trivia" is for trivial information, such as little details that does not add much to the subject, could even be disregarded, but are fun to know. Pointless and irrelevant trivia will be removed and you might be blocked. Rather concentrate on the article itself. Judith Mossman is a good example of the use of these sections.
 * If these sections contain several items, use * to list each one.
 * Please note that "trivia" is spelled trivia and not triva.
