PokeMMO Community Wiki:Editorial guide
From PokeMMO Community Wiki
This wiki documents PokeMMO with traceable sources and a clear distinction between checked information and unfinished work.
Writing and verification
- Write specifically about PokeMMO. Do not assume a mechanic matches another Pokémon game.
- Cite factual gameplay claims beside the claim using Template:Source and reference tags.
- Prefer direct game evidence and relevant official announcements. Identify community reports as such and check their date and applicability.
- Record the source URL, title, publisher, access date, and the claim it supports. For game observations, record the date, conditions, and linked evidence.
- Leave unknown values as “Not yet documented.” Do not fill gaps with estimates presented as facts.
- Set “Last verified” only after checking the stated scope. Use YYYY-MM-DD and describe exactly what was checked. Page creation and layout reviews do not count.
- Keep an article marked “Unfinished” while required sections are incomplete. A dated review of one section does not verify the whole article.
- Date money-making measurements and state the method, expenses, sample, and elapsed time. Separate market observations from guaranteed rewards.
- When evidence conflicts or an update may invalidate it, explain the uncertainty and return the affected content to review.
Reusable layouts
- Template:Walkthrough article — prerequisites, objectives, battles, and next steps.
- Template:Pokémon article — overview, availability, evolution, moves, and uses.
- Template:Guide article — requirements, method, costs, results, and limitations.
- Template:Article status — status, last-verified date, and scope.
- Template:Source — citation details.
