Galaxypedia:Formatting Policy/Ships: Difference between revisions

__TOC__

==Top of The Page (Notices and Information)==

#Do you have full, complete information (including images) on the ship you are creating a page on?

# Does the page have outdated or inaccurate information?

**If the ship is a [[:Category:Carrier|carrier]], then please also provide images of the ship's hangar bay if applicable.

<span style="color:yellow">'''Note: Please use some form of background filtering on the above image aspects if possible. A recommended option is [https://www.remove.bg/ remove.bg], a site that allows for (mostly) easy filtering of foreground subjects from backgrounds in images.'''

** Trails - Provide an image that shows any trail effects the ship has in their full length.

**Warp - Provide an image of the appearance of the ship while it is in warp.

==Ship Description==

After you're done with the Infobox, write a detailed description of the ship under the "Description" header; such as any outstanding characteristics of the ship (high/low maneuverability, powerful armament, etc.), if the ship is directly related to another ship (and why), any roles of the ship (tank, distraction, pirating, etc.), and so on.

<u>'''Reminder:'''</u> Do not add your opinions, or otherwise subjective information in your edits.

Similar to the section beforehand, except you are describing the ship's disadvantages for its class or compared to other ships. Example: "The '''Sagittarius''' lacks kinetic weaponry of any kind, making it unable to deal effective damage to the [[Hull]] of its targets.''' Additionally, traits of a ship that may not be statistically related such as [[Turrets|turret]] line-of-sight (or "LoS", for short), size, and profile may be necessary to include as disadvantages or advantages; depending on if it is a benefit or a detriment to the performance of the ship for its class or role.'''

==Ship Strategy/Tactics==

This section is where you should describe (in detail) the strategies or tactics that work best with the ship. Since figuring out strategy or tactics for a ship cannot always be done to the best ability with statistics alone, try using the ship yourself first and experiment to see what works best. In the case that you cannot do that, it is acceptable to add strategy or tactics with the information available to you. Example: "The '''Tempest''' is best used as support against small or agile ships, which most other [[:Category:Capital Ship|capital ships]] would struggle to fight.

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 the date (in UTC) as well as the game version they occurred in. If you for some reason are unable to determine exactly in what date or 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 on 1/12/2022, version .69e '''(?)'''.").

==Trivia==

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]]).

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 to insert the image files in an organized form, preferably near the bottom of the page. Please see the [[mediawikiwiki:Help:Images#Rendering_a_gallery_of_images|MediaWiki Images Help: Rendering a Gallery of Images]] section of the MediaWiki Image Help page for more information (the rest of the page is also helpful for images in general).

For any references you use as a source on any page; make sure to cite it, and declare all references at the bottom of the page with a references header. To declare all references used, please use this formatting tag:<br>
