Some Wikipedians have formed a project to better organize information in articles related to Tycoon Computer Games .

WikiProject Information
Scope
This project's goal is to improve all of the Tycoon Computer Game articles. Each one needs to be standardized with the navigational template and the Infobox VG template. Each article must also be expanded upon, as many are currently stubs. Those that aren't stubs need to be copyedited and/or wikified. The wikiproject also mantains the Tycoon Computer Game article.

Guidelines for all articles
Note that these are suggested guidelines established by consensus among Wikipedians. Please discuss them on the talk page if you have ideas.
Neutral point of view
Make sure to write from a neutral point of view. Wikipedia is not the place for writing reviews. If you can provide factual records of opinions, that is of course excellent. Magazine reviews, awards and quotes from game developers (except the developer's own advertising) can and should be used - those carry weight on their own. If there is more than one take on the subject, make sure to include all and to treat all as potentially true. For these, be sure to clarify that they are in fact opinions, not incontrovertible facts.
Watch out for overly general and vague statements along the lines of "there are many who think Game X is great". Such weasel words are not particularly factual and usually nothing but the author's opinions in disguise. Try to provide more specific information, and back the statement up by references to magazines, websites, etc.
Content
Articles on computer and video games should give an encyclopedia overview of what the game is about, not a detailed description of how to play it. The latter should be moved to StrategyWiki (Wikibooks was previously suggested, but no longer accepts video game how-tos). A general rule of thumb to follow if unsure: if the content only has value to people actually playing the game, it's unsuitable. Keep in mind that video game articles should be readable and interesting to non-gamers; remember the bigger picture. You can add a link to the StrategyWiki guide by adding {{StrategyWiki|page name}} to the external links section of the Wikipedia article.
Content that may be moved to StrategyWiki:
- Specific moves and buttons used to execute them. While saying that a character can jump, punch, and pound the ground is OK, explaining how to execute them using the controller is not.
- Lists of mere statistics, items, or other minutiae. The HP or weight class of a character is not important to the article; neither are all the swords available in the game.
- Strategy guides. Basic strategy concepts are often essential to the understanding of a game, but avoid in-depth explanations.
- Lists of cheats or codes. Some codes may be notable and suitable for articles, such as the famed Konami Code, but the method of performing a code that's confined to only a few games and has no special claim to fame is unsuitable for Wikipedia.
Other unsuitable content:
- Theories or speculation. You may think that the Chozo were actually cannibalistic, perhaps based on a sentence referencing their mysterious eating habits in an instruction booklet, but unless this has been stated explicitly in official literature, it does not belong in the article. This applies to theories that aren't your own, as well.
- Similarly, fan ideas about characters' lives or relationships are not appropriate for the encyclopedia.
- Obscure rumors. If the launch list of Nintendo's Wii hasn't been announced yet, don't bother contributing that you heard a Metroid card battle game is in the works. If it's heavily rumored in several major media sources, that is fine.
- Rumored codenames. For example, don't refer to the "Game Boy Evolution," because that name is entirely made up.
Examples of articles that have been considered inappropriately detailed:
- Jumping in Quake (since merged to Quake and Rocketjumping); old version: Jumping in Quake )
- Super Mario 64 Glitches (since moved to Wikibooks: Super Mario 64 , and then to StrategyWiki)
Style
This is an encyclopedia, and articles should be written formally, not like FAQs, fansites, or player's guides. In addition to the Manual of Style, keep these CVG-centric style tips in mind:
- Don't use second-person pronouns ("you"). We can't assume that the reader is planning on playing the game. Use "one," "the player," the name of the player-controlled character, or put the sentence in the passive voice. Example: "You can fight the boss" becomes "one can fight the boss," "the character can fight the boss," "Link can fight the boss," or "the boss can be fought."
- Use italics for game titles, but not character names. Ninja Gaiden is OK, Ryu Hayabusa is not.
- Avoid confusing abbreviations, unless they're standard. PS2 is OK; LoZ:OoT is probably not. Instead, try shortening the title to a few key words: LoZ:OoT becomes Ocarina .
- Make sure to use the {{spoiler}} tag when appropriate.
- Use the present tense for describing things happening in the games (including gameplay), not the past tense. This is logical; even if a game was released decades ago, it still performs the same today as it did upon release for anyone who plays it on its intended gaming console.
- For external links, please use appropriate templates. Examples include {{Nintendo.com}}, {{Moby game}}, and {{GameFAQs}}.
Disambiguating names of mods
Use the original name of the mod and only disambiguate the title if there is a naming conflict. If a mod's name clashes with the name of an existing article, then use "Mod Name (computer game)". Only use "Mod Name (mod)" if the name clashes with another computer/video game.
Screenshots and cover art
For information on adding pictures, see Wikipedia:Picture tutorial.
Wikipedians assert that both screenshots of video games and box or cover art usage is protected under the fair use provision of U.S. Copyright law. To notify others of the copyright status of such images, uploaded game cover art should include the tag {{Gamecover}} . Screenshots of a game should include the tag {{Game-screenshot}} . Some screenshots or box covers may be categorized elsewhere, in which case the uploader is still required to provide valid information on the image's source and copyright status. For rendered art or other official graphics that aren't screenshots, use the general {{fairuse}} tag and provide information (See WP:Fair use for information on what the requirements are). Game company logos may use the {{logo}} tag. Do not upload screenshots that have been watermarked.
