Added the last three sections (trivia, gallery, references), will address miscellaneous page types when I figure out how to do so. Also add more information to the new additions if possible, please.

The only time you may put subjective information on a page is if it is acceptable within the editing format used for the type of page or related to the article topic, ''and'' there is some type of clearly visible disclaimer stating that the information is subjective. If you are unsure whether or not you can put subjective information on a page, do not hesitate to contact [[Galaxypedia Staff]]. | The only time you may put subjective information on a page is if it is acceptable within the editing format used for the type of page or related to the article topic, ''and'' there is some type of clearly visible disclaimer stating that the information is subjective.

This section goes for all pages about in-game entities, but this section is for recording any changes that happen (in detail or taken directly from the Galaxy Discord update log channel), and in what game version they occurred. If you for some reason are unable to determine exactly in what version a change occurred, take your best guess '''and clearly mark it with a question mark (?)'''. Otherwise, if you have no idea; specify as such when listing the change (examples: "Top speed increased from 50 to 75 in an unknown version.", "Shield health reduced from 11,000 HP to 10,000 HP in version '''(?)'''."). | This section goes for all pages about in-game entities, but this section is for recording any changes that happen (in detail or taken directly from the Galaxy Discord update log channel), and in what game version they occurred.

<h2 style="text-align:left">Trivia</h2> | |||
This section is for trivia related to the ship, somewhat like a "fun fact". For example (on the [[Lazarus]] page), "The ship's name holds significance in mythology and religious texts." However, avoid unrelated information that is unnecessary, like "<s>[[Falcon]]... punch!</s>", or "<s>Used by [[United Nations of Earth|U.N.E.]] judges</s>" ([[Judgement]]). | |||
<h2 style="text-align:left">Gallery</h2> | |||
For extra pictures that may not be included in the infobox (such as old models, easter eggs, and anything related to the ship), use a gallery class, or a gallery class within a [[Template:Image Infobox|Image Infobox Template]] to insert the image files in an organized form, preferably near the bottom of the page. | |||
<h2 style="text-align:left">References List</h2> | |||
Did I forget to mention citations? Well, for any references you use as a citation on any page; make sure to put a list at the bottom of the page with a references header. Fortunately, you don't have to manually declare all the references used, you can use this neat little formatting tag:<br> | |||
<nowiki><references /></nowiki></br> | |||
If you need help in using MediaWiki formatting tags, visit the [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Formatting MediaWiki Formatting Help] page. To see an example of references and a reference list properly used, see the [[Osiris Legion]] page. | |||
If you are confused about citations, they serve to reference information used from another domain; giving credit to the people that wrote the information in the first place. You may be wondering why this is necessary, and this is because '''''plagiarism''''' is not tolerated. <u>Plagiarism is taking someone else's work, and using it in your own without their permission</u>; which is not only greatly frowned upon, but also can cause issues beyond staining your own reputation. This is also mentioned in the [[Roblox Galaxy Wiki:Terms of Service#4._Rules,_Policies,_Guidelines|Terms of Service: Rules, Policies, Guidelines]]. | |||
