Wiki Styleguide



The uniform styling of pages is important to give the wiki a unified appearance and to make it easier for the reader to locate the information they seek. This is accomplished by applying a set of styling rules that should be followed as closely as possible. That said, there will always be some content that won't be easily adapted to fit the prescribed format and then decisions will need to be made to follow a slightly different set of styling rules that are inline with the wiki standard.

Basic Style Rules
If a topic does not have any information to be put into a particular section, that section can be omitted. Each section should list the name of that section using a h2 level heading and then subsequent sub-sections under that should be listed with lower heading levels, provided that the sub-section is an extension of the h2 level heading. An effort should be made to remove any un-necessary HUD information from screenshots by disabling the various HUD options in the Settings menu in-game unless they are part of what the image is depicting.
 * Every page should follow this basic layout:
 * Introduction - This should be a brief blurb about the page topic to introduce it and should appear above the first h2 heading.
 * Description - This should be a detailed description of the topic, including any notable features.
 * Location and Obtaining - This should tell the reader where to find this at either in-game or within the menus and dialogs and what requirements (if any) are needed to obtain it, including any costs.
 * Uses and Crafting - This should describe what uses the topic has and what Crafting recipes require this item, if any.
 * Data - This is where any hard data (usually displayed as a table) should be shown.
 * Useful Knowledge - This should contain any useful or interesting knowledge/tips/trivia associated with the topic.
 * Images - This should have any images that depict the topic accurately, including screenshots, photo mode pics and maps.

A Quick Note on Point Of View
If you have any prior experience with contributing to a wiki, you are likely aware that most wikis ask their editors to write articles from a detached third-person point of view. Gaming wikis in particular want you to refer to the in-game persona as the "player character" and writing any content from any other point of view is heavily frowned upon. Unlike most wikis, that rule does not apply here. Rather than having an article/page/topic be written from a cold point of view from a distance, this wiki prefers for content to be written from a more personable first or second-person point of view. Articles/pages should be written as if you are explaining the concept to someone new to playing Red Dead Online, using "you" and "your" rather than "the player character". This will give content found in this wiki a more personable feel that is not found in other wikis.
