This page exists as a place to discuss the Manual of Style for the RollerCoaster Tycoon Wiki. Changes to the Manual of Style should receive some consensus before they are enacted. Please use the space below to discuss the policies. Remember to sign all your comments using four tildes (~~~~).

Unclear parts (for me that is)

  • Italicize game titles

-> Does this include RollerCoaster Tycoon or is this regarding outside sources? If it does include RCT, we are in for a rough ride, as almost all instances I've seen on the pages, the games where not italicized. Better yet, in that case couldn't we create a bot to change all instances of the game to italicized versions?

  • promptly remove, fix or address broken (red) links

-> Is a page linking to RCT2 considered broken as it is linked to a redirect page?

  • add available relevant pictures or images to articles that lack images

-> What are the guidelines regarding pictures: upload only self created screenshots and if so, should the source be inserted?

  • take information from sources without properly citing the sources

-> Only when taken from outside of the games, correct?

  • Adhere as closely as possible to other preexisting pages and templates

-> What pages are considered the lead in disputes regarding non-template pages? Rgbk73 23:03, July 14, 2010 (UTC)
