Page Formatting for Dummies

=How to Format a Page=

Overview
This handy page will teach you the basics of what you need to know to format pages in the Devon Legacy: Revamp Wiki.

Remain Unbiased!
The wiki must present all information in an objective and informative manner, and must not have any opinionative statements or suggestions. Leave that to the comments!

Present Relevant Information
No one wants to know what something was like before a nerf, or how you used to get something. Always present the most up to date, reliable information and leave any old information in the Trivia.

Titles and Overviews
Titles and Overviews count! Whether it’s about a NPC, an area, a weapon, or even a quest, the reader (that’s you!) needs to know exactly what they are going to get by reading the Title. Make sure you have a big, bold Title that stands out! The Overview under the Title needs to be a brief summary of what your page is about. If you don’t get it, here are some examples: Make sure they are nice and concise.
 * Hex (also known as HexagonP or Hexah) is an Easter egg NPC.
 * Rarities are a form of measurement for items and weapons depending on how hard they are to get.

Headings
A Heading is put in place to help break up and organise the information in the page. No one wants a cluster of unorganised gibberish! Headings must be smaller than the Title, and contain a line beneath it to properly break the section with the body of the text. First sentences here are different, but just as important! In a first sentence here, instead of summarising the entire page, you summarise what you are going to say in that section.

Trivia
The Trivia must be the final section in a page, and it includes all sorts of weird and whacky facts to pre-update bugs or post-update stats. Make sure to keep the information in short, bullet-point form.

If you didn’t understand it, just look at how this page is done!

NPC Pages
NPC Pages, after applying the general rules, must be formatted as such:
 * An infobox must be inserted. The box must contain the character’s name, gender, use and location/s.
 * Below the infobox, contain a short explanation of the NPC, going into detail in the Overview. Make sure you say they are an NPC and talk about the general area they appear.
 * The first Section, after the Overview, must be the appearance of the NPC. Even if it doesn’t appear, it must be stated.
 * Next up, we need a section for the dialogue of the NPC. What do they say? Do they say a number of things? If so, note them down. If they have quests, list them below.
 * In the case of shop NPCs, make a section, and in it, a list, of the items they sell, the price it sell it for and such.

Enemy Pages
Enemies and NPCs share a similar format. After applying general rules:
 * Insert an infobox. The box must include the enemy’s name, status as either a boss or normal mob and location/s.
 * The appearance must be placed below the Overview, and provide the appearance of the monster in the text.
 * Provide, in bullet-points, the attack/s that the mob can do, and make sure it’s accurate.
 * In bullet-points, list the possible drops from the monster when killed.

Weapon Pages
Weapon pages are a little different.
 * Insert an infobox, have it display the weapon type, damage, speed, critical multiplier, level, cost and rarity.
 * The first Section should be a description of the weapon. It must describe what the weapon looks like.
 * Next up, make a section. In it, you need to list how to get the weapon. Is it a drop? From a shop? Where do we get it?

Location Pages
When it comes to locations, be broad but not too broad, so people can still navigate.
 * Add an infobox with the level requirement/recommendation of the town and a list of all the inhabitants of it.
 * Describe the lay of the land, tell us where certain things are, and describe them.

Conclusion
I hope you could get through this little guide on how to format a page in the Devon Wiki, and get on with making some great and useful edits for other people to read and enjoy, in the correctly formatted fashion. Enjoy!
