This guide is written assuming you already have an account at Shoryuken Wiki. If not, please follow the steps in Help:Editing.

This guide is intended to help you get started with writing a new game wiki or remodeling an existing game wiki based on best practices. There may be several assumptions about what you know about wiki editing in this guide, which you can catch up on on the Editing page, the MediaWiki user manual, or by asking in the Editor's Discord.

Step 1: Create a landing page

Game wiki structure relies on subpages which use a prefix + forward slash + page subject to make pages easy to find. For example, Street Fighter V is a top level page (with no prefix) and Ryu's page is named "Street Fighter V/Ryu" to separate it from others i.e. "Street Fighter Alpha 2/Ryu". Create a page with the name of your game and add the following contents:

1. {{Infobox Game}} - An infobox template providing the release details of the game. Refer to the template documentation for usage and examples.
2. Opening text describing the game. What's new about it? What's unique? Is there a useful explanation of what this game is all about you can use?
3. A roadmap section. This should be a separate subpage that we are going to transclude and should be named "Shoryuken Wiki:Roadmap/xxxx" where xxxx is the abbreviation of the game i.e. Shoryuken Wiki:Roadmap/SFV. A quick way to add this to the page is to type "{{#lst:Shoryuken Wiki:Roadmap/xxxx|Main}}" again using your abbreviation. You will notice this create a red link on the page which we'll fill out later in this guide. Don't worry if this link seems unfamiliar to you for now.
4. A navbox for your game. A navbox is a kind of template that serves as a "hub" for all the subpages we're going to need to describe the characters and mechanics of the game. Some of the pages we put on this navbox may have their own subpages, but it's only necessary for us to provide the main subpages of the game. Create a link to a template we will be creating for the navbox with the following structure: {{Navbox-xxxx}}. This is yet another red link, which we'll be filling out.
5. The game category. This should be the full name of the game, such as "Street Fighter V". Note that in the case of games where the title is updated but the game versions are not separate entirely, the category should be the generic name: This means Street Fighter IV and Super Street Fighter IV are separate categories (these versions are not compatible with each other) but Street Fighter V is only one category despite having several subtitles. Categories are written in brackets like [[Your Game]].

Keep in mind that some wikis on the site have barely been touched since the early 2000s. Therefore, if you want to use the code from another game's landing page, make sure you copy it from a recent wiki.

Step 2: Create the Navbox and roadmap pages

In step 1 we talked about needing to "transclude" a roadmap page. We're actually going to use two types of transclusion to create the Navbox and roadmap pages:

• The navbox will be a template which has its own page in the Template namespace, transcluded to a page using normal curly braces like {{Navbox-SFV}}
• The roadmap page will use "labeled section transclusion", which lets us pick specific parts of the page out with a more advanced syntax using the #lst tag.

In this guide we're going to create these pages before getting into your character and mechanics pages since they will all need a navbox to refer to and a roadmap to keep track of.
