Help:Creating a video game article

Here are some tips when creating an article for a specific video game.

Add an infobox
While not a requirement, an infobox is helpful as it gives the basic information on a game such as its release date, the developers, the boxart and more. The following is the coding for an infobox:

Note, under release date, please use flags to represent territories. Certain flags may represent more than one country. The following are the currently available flags:

-> = United States, Canada -> = The European Union -> = Australia, New Zealand -> = Japan -> = China -> = South Korea

Currently we want our readers to know that we are trying to come up with a way to better represent North America. The United States flag is not appropriate when the NA Nintendo territory also includes Canada, and we fully realize this.

Next, under "rating", please add the ratings board's name first (example: ESRB), then add an image of the rating, and finally the rating name. Here's an example:

ESRB: Everyone -> ESRB:  Everyone

Here are the image names for each ESRB rating (when adding a rating to an infobox, please reduce the size to 15 px):

Image:EarlyChildhood.png -> (Early Childhood) Image:Everyone.png -> (Everyone) Image:TenUp.jpg -> (Everyone 10+) Image:Teen.png -> (Teen) Image:Mature.gif -> (Mature)

Do not worry about the Adults Only rating, as Nintendo does not permit these games on their system.
