{{Anchor|Naming convention}}

 

Title Wikipedia articles by the subject's [[Wikipedia:Article titles#Use commonly recognizable names|common name]]: The name most commonly used in English-language [[Wikipedia:Identifying reliable sources|reliable, secondary sources]] and best balance of the five [[Wikipedia:Article titles#Deciding on an article title|naming criteria]]: recognizability, naturalness, precision, conciseness, and consistency. Secondarily, use [[Wikipedia:Naming conventions (video games)]] to reference common formatting and disambiguation terms for video game topics.

Avoid [[Wikipedia:Wikipedia Signpost/2017-06-09/Op-ed|bloat in the first sentence]]. Restrict it to the most important aspects of the topic.

* Avoid "{{vanchor|commonly known as}}" and "{{vanchor|stylized as}}", unless the point of abbreviation or stylization has been made by a preponderance of [[Wikipedia:Identifying reliable sources|reliable]], [[Wikipedia:Identifying and using independent sources|independent]], [[Wikipedia:No original research#Primary, secondary and tertiary sources|secondary]] [[Wikipedia:Verifiability#Reliable sources|sources]]. Wikipedia [[Wikipedia:Writing better articles#Tone|maintains a formal tone]] and, like newspapers and magazines outside the gamer niche, uses brief phrases instead of abbreviations. For example, the name {{xt|''Ocarina of Time''}} would be an acceptable shorthand for ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time]]'', but {{!xt|''OoT''}} would not, and likewise applies with {{xt|''Global Offensive''}} for ''[[Counter-Strike: Global Offensive]]'', but not {{!xt|''CS:GO''}}. There are some occasions where using the full name of the game is the only appropriate option, such as [[Team Fortress 2|{{xt|''Team Fortress 2''}}]] instead of {{!xt|''TF2''}}.

 

 

* Write [[Wikipedia:Writing better articles#Provide context for the reader|for a general audience]]. Assume that the reader has heard of a video game but has never played one. Introduce the game in terms of the player's actions and goals.

** For narrative [[downloadable content]] (DLC), plot summaries of no more than 300 words per content should be presented in the main plot section or as an additional sub-section (such as ''[[Final Fantasy XV]]''). If appropriate, larger narrative DLC may be split into its own article if it receives significant independent development and reception coverage, such as ''[[The Last of Us: Left Behind]]''. Split articles should follow the main plot guideline of 700 words.

 

 

* In describing development elements related to the release of a game, it is often easy to fall into the use of [[Wikipedia:Proseline|proseline]] on trivial details, repetitive sentences or list items in a form like "On such-and-such date, the company teased the release of their game via a Twitter message." Both proseline and this type of detail are generally inappropriate. Consider what secondary sources state about the game's pre-release information to determine what is appropriate to include. The use of release teasers, trailers, and social media is common throughout the industry, so specific details on these elements are generally unnecessary unless the nature of their presentation is something noted by sources. Exact dates for announcements are rarely necessary and only a rough time estimate is needed: a month/year for most games, or for those unveiled at conferences like E3 or GDC, referring to those conferences.

 

{{Shortcut|WP:VG/REC}}{{see also|Wikipedia:Copyediting reception sections}}

 

* {{Anchor|User reviews}}[[Wikipedia:WikiProject Video games/Sources#Review sites|User reviews]] and other [[Wikipedia:SPS|self-published sources]] are unreliable unless these are called to attention in secondary sources, such as if a game was [[Review bomb|review bombed]]. In such cases, cite the secondary source(s) describing the event, not the user review itself.

 

 

* {{Shortcut|WP:VG/AWARDS}}Noteworthy awards and nominations that contribute to the overall reception should be documented in prose in this section. Individual publications often use awards to distinguish a game's lasting impact. If a game has received more nominations than can comfortably be discussed without [[Wikipedia:PL|proseline]] (typically four or more), these should be placed in a table. For the table, only include awards where either the awards individually are notable (e.g. [[Seumas McNally Grand Prize]]) or the awards body as a whole is notable (e.g. [[The Game Awards]]); omit individual publication awards and ranked lists from the table.
