 This section of the formatting policy is for pages about [[:Category:Clans|Galaxy clans/player-controlled factions]]. '''<u>Note that this should not be treated as a Formatting Policy for the [[:Category:Galaxy Lore|lore-based factions]].</u>'''
-=== Synopsis ===
-This is the first section of the page. Here, you should list in-depth details about the clan (as well as a description), such as (but not limited to) how they operate (or in other words, how they play in-game), what they're known for, notable events in their history, date founded, and slogans to name a few. For an example, see the [[The Blackhawks]] page.
+==Page Requirements==
-=== Gallery ===
+In order for a page on a player-controlled faction to exist, the faction itself must meet the following requirements outlined below:
+*Must have had at least 25 faction members at any point in time.
+*Must have existed for at least 2 months, and also not have disbanded within 3 months of its creation/founding.
+*Must have had some sort of short-term or long-term impact on the game or the community; the clan's name should be known by a portion of the community.
+**To clarify "known by a portion of the community", this requirement basically means one should be able to go into the [https://galaxy.robloxgalaxy.wiki/ Galaxy Discord], ask about the faction, and see that people not currently enlisted in the faction recognize it.
+These requirements are also listed on the [[:Category:Clans|Clans category page]]. If you're seeking to have a clan documented on the Galaxypedia and it meets the above requirements, please open a ticket in the [https://discord.robloxgalaxy.wiki/ Galaxypedia Discord].
+==Page Formatting==
+===Introduction===
+A short description of the clan should be given at the beginning of the page, <u>'''after all template inclusions'''</u>. Example: "[[Vanguard Coalition]] was a clan well known for their [[Pirating|piracy]]".
+===Story===
+Here, you should list in-depth details about the clan (as well as a description), such as (but not limited to) how they operate (or in other words, how they play in-game), what they're known for, notable events in their history, date founded, and slogans to name a few. If the clan disbanded, discuss why that happened; otherwise, discuss the clans achievements. For an example, see the [[The Blackhawks]] page.
+===Trivia===
+Similar to any kind of page that has this section, add trivia (i.e. general fun facts & miscellaneous information) related to the clan here. You may also list less significant achievements of the clan in this section. Please remember to read [[../Ships#Trivia|Ships Formatting Policy: Trivia]], as that gives a general idea of what is considered acceptable trivia on the page.
+===Gallery===
 This section should include a gallery of images about the clan that give a visual insight to notable events in its history, or otherwise directly related images. Remember to use the <code><nowiki><gallery></nowiki></code> tag for image galleries on the page. To see an example, view this [[Osiris Legion#Gallery|section of the Osiris Legion page]].
-===Trivia===
-Similar to any kind of page that has this section, add trivia related to the clan here. Please remember to read [[Galaxypedia:Formatting Policy#Trivia|Trivia formatting for ships]], as that gives a general idea of what is considered acceptable trivia on the page.
+===References===
+Please remember to add citations where they are necessary, as details about clans often aren't readily available inside the game; and can be difficult to otherwise verify. See [[../Ships#References_List|Ships Formatting Policy: References List]] for information about adding citations. Also see [[Galaxypedia:Citation needed]].
