How-To-Horse-Game

Thank you for joining the contributors! :) A good place to start is adding to a page that already has a general structure in place. But if the game you want to work on doesn't have a page yet (or basically an empty one), don't be spooked (leave that to the horses) – wiki editing is less hard than you might think! For any questions, you can check out MediaWiki Help or ask us on the Mane Quest Discord.

How to create a new page
Type the EXACT name you want into the Search Bar. You will see a page that asks if you want to create that page! Unless it already exists, in which case you can simply edit what's already there by entering edit mode (a tab on the top right of the page).

If the page has no basic structure yet, use the GamePageTemplate, which creates the overview table as well as the table of contents with the categories we recommend for each game's page.

Content Requirements
We list each game under its first release title as the page name. If a game has more than one title that a lot of people know it by, you can create redirect pages for those other names, it's in the editor's Insert options. This is optional, people who search for a secondary title will still find it in their search if that name is listed in the table below. If you aren't sure which one is the first release, just name the page with the one you know, it can easily be moved later!

Overview Table
When you create a new page about a game, please include a table with these categories on the top right of the page:

- this code will include the “stub” template (it inserts the paragraph about needing more content automatically).

Summary
write a summary what the game is like (no plot spoilers if possible)

Game Design
art style, game engine, open world?, controls, ...

Gameplay
go wild, describe game mechanics, features, and all the data you can find!

Riding Mechanics
this is an example for a subcategories to Gameplay. By adding headlines with equal signs, the page automatically recognizes them and creates the table of contents. Very neat!

add more equal signs for deeper sub categories, or delete if you don't need it!
It's not as scary as it looks!

Differences between Releases
e.g. localized names, or features on different platforms

Additional Media
Additional media: screen shots of game play (preferably no story spoilers), box art, ...

System Requirements & Compatibility
also a good info if you can find it!
