Wiki organisation & article structure

As some of you stated here we need to decide on the general look/structure of a wiki article here (and probably hammer some boilerplates to make it easy to use). Please leave your suggestions here.

My opinion probably wouldn't be the best for this, because I'm fairly new to the wiki game, but here is my suggestion on a layout.


Game Name (this would be the page name, so not really a heading)[]

This area will be a brief description of the game, and the date the cards were added. If any unique things were added with this games, like the walking dead cards having descriptions, this can be put in this area.

I'd also add in the expanded card images here as this seems to be the general location for them in most entries and it looks nice.  Slideshow, width 500 pixels.  Alternatively, we could give them their own section.  (Note: Wallpapers are usually completely different from the expanded card images, hence why they need to be displayed separately)AurekSkyclimber (talk) 00:45, July 14, 2013 (UTC)AurekSkyclimber

Cards[]

This section would just be a simple gallery of the non-foil cards, with their name below the gallery photo, Pixel size is 100, fit to page, medium photospacing, and portrait cropping.

Foil Cards[]

Same as the cards section just featuring the foil cards

Booster Pack[]

Same as the cards section, just featuring the booster pack.

Badges[]

This would be the same as the previous three only featuring badges

Emoticons[]

Same as the previous

Backgrounds (or the wallpapers whatever the official name is)[]

Same as the previous


It's a very simple design, and I don't expect it to be the final design, so that being said anyone is welcome to tinker with the design maybe make it more informative instead of just a bunch of galleries on a page.Coolskitz (talk) 22:28, July 13, 2013 (UTC)

This is pretty much spot on with the general layout being used so far.  I'd recommend also adding in the rarities of each background and emoticon (along with any extra descriptions) next to each specific object. As an example :bug: Common (Meet something unexpectedly!)

Perhaps place the Badges above the cards? Also, stop using blue backgrounds around each object in the gallery, and instead use the transparent background. It looks a lot nicer. AurekSkyclimber (talk) 00:45, July 14, 2013 (UTC)AurekSkyclimber

Possible design template for the pages.[]

I created a layout on Anomaly 2. It's basically a clean up of the Scribblenauts one I did. More details aboput the cards and stuff.


Hopefully you like it.
