'''Instructions'''
*Code sections can be copied using the <span class="plainlinks">[http://pcgamingwiki.com/index.php?title=PCGamingWiki:Sample_Article&ction=edit edit link for this page]</span>. 
*Delete the last line of code, and choose an appropriate category, which will normally be <code><nowiki></nowiki></code>.
*The [[Fallout (series)]] of articles is an excellent reference point for example of good articles.

'''Bullet point icons'''
*The purpose of the bullet point graphics is to provide more brevity and clarity to article content. 
*All icons automatically indent onto a new line.
*Virtually all sentences in all game fix pages should use these codes:
{{ii}} - <code><nowiki>{{ii}}</nowiki></code> - information.
{{++}} - <code><nowiki>{{++}}</nowiki></code> - positive / advantage / recommend.
{{--}} - <code><nowiki>{{--}}</nowiki></code> - negative / disadvantage / dissuade.

'''Style crib sheet'''
{{ii}} We have decided to not include [[PCGamingWiki:Style_Policy#Genre|genre information]]. The focus of the wiki is to provide information about how to fix games, rather than the content of games.
{{ii}} Reference where the fixes come from using <nowiki><ref></nowiki> tags.<ref>http://www.pcgamingwiki.com</ref>
{{ii}} All headers and page names to use [[Wikipedia:Sentence_case#Sentence_case|sentence case]]. This means capital letter at the beginning of a sentence, with no other capitals unless it is a proper noun or acryonym.

'''Fixbox'''
{{ii}} Use the Fixbox template to boxout fixes and instructions.
'''Fixbox/fix and Fixbox/instructions'''
{{ii}} Parameters include: 
*|link=false - no 'link here' text - if you want to make the header into a link itself. Use if the header includes a reference or any other internal/external link.
'''Example'''
