New page

This page describes how the wiki is styled: how certain elements should look and behave. For all relative examples, I will be using the [[Science Department]] page.

{{TOC|depth=5}}

== General ==

=== Page title ===
'''The page title should sit at the top of the page.''' Titles of content pages (i.e. regular pages) should follow [[wikipedia:Title case|Title Case]] - first letter of each word is capitalized, except some words like "over", "a", etc.

Titles for other pages (category, template) should follow '''Sentence case''' - only the first letter is capitalized.

=== Callout/Warnings ===
'''This banner should sit below the page title.''' Many pages can be highly volatile or considered a WIP. If you need to state a custom banner any reason use [[Template:Callout]]. If you prefer to use premade templates though there is [[Template:Important]] and [[Template:Unfinished]].

=== Preamble ===
'''The preamble should sit below the title of the page.''' If a page requires an introduction to the information then introduce a preamble.

=== Table of Contents (TOC) ===
'''The table of contents should sit after the preamble.''' The TOC can be edited using [[Template:TOC]]. Generally, keep the TOC floating left and keep the depth between 3-4. If you absolutely need the depth to be longer, then you can but it can easily be overwhelmingly large if above 4.

=== Content ===
Most pages will follow their own logical breakdown of the content within.

However '''department pages''' follow a guideline of:
# Sections of X
# Jobs of X
# System 1
# System 2
# System X...
# Equipment
# Guides

=== Headings ===
'''Headings should sit below both the TOC and their authoritative headings (i.e. Subheading 1 should sit under Heading)'''.

* Headings should typically follow a logic of Heading for large sweeping topics.
* Sub-heading 1 for subsections of headings.
* Sub-heading 2 for subsections of sub-heading 1 sections....etc.

The way you should use headings is generally going to be determined by how you're going to break down a subject.

=== Paragraphs ===
'''Paragraphs should sit under each respective heading.'''

* Context paragraphs should provide an overview about what you're going to talk about in depth later.
* Content/Depth Paragraphs should provide a clear and in depth explanation of how a system works to the best of your ability.
* Supporting images should be used frequently and to aid in the explanation of what you're talking about and how to use something.

== Images ==
{{Callout|Info|All images on the wiki are rendered with '''pixelated''' mode by default.}}

=== Enabling smooth rendering ===
To enable smooth rendering, add <code>smooth-render</code> class, for instance:

{{sthl|1=[[File:UI_before_menu.png|class=smooth-render]]|mw=1}}

Produces:

[[File:UI_before_menu.png|class=smooth-render]]

== Videos ==
Videos are added the same way images do. This is provided by '''EmbedVideo''' extension.

For more info, including various new options, see https://github.com/StarCitizenWiki/mediawiki-extensions-EmbedVideo

=== Making framed gifs ===
Since videos do not support <code>frame</code> image mode, an template was made specifically for making gifs from videos in <code>frame</code>-like appeareance. See {{tl|EmbedVideo Gif Frame}}.
