=== Jargon dalam permainan video ===
{{shortcut|WP:VGJARGON}}
{{Main|WP:Manual of Style#Technical language|WP:What Wikipedia is not#Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information|Glossary of video game terms}}
Video game jargon is often used in reviews, Internet forums and casual conversation about video games. Like all jargon, the slang words are familiar to those closely involved with the game industry, but tend to be cryptic to others. For example, you would confuse a person you meet on the street by telling them:
* {{!xt|Ryu's 46-hit combo deathmove absolutely pwns Jin and takes away 85% of Jin's health.}}
They would puzzle over words like "combo", "deathmove", and "85% health", as well as wondering who "Ryu" and "Jin" are, and how somebody can "[[pwn]]" somebody else. Linking the words to relevant articles can be considered, but this forces the reader to jump back-and-forth among articles to get a fair sense of the meaning. Furthermore, links serve a better purpose as additional readings for enlightenment, rather than required readings for explanation. Writing the sentences with commonly used terminology and excluding jargon would be a better solution, such as:
* {{xt|Among the characters available for players to control, Ryu has an advantage over Jin. He has a super attack technique that deals out a long sequence of hits on Jin and is capable of depleting 85% of Jin's health points.}}
That said, it is still possible to use jargon in an article. This could be of necessity if the game's concept deals closely and often with the jargon. The jargon would, however, have to be clearly explained (simple and clear sentences) before its first use in the article. For example, if an adventure game requires players to gather mana crystals (calling it Shwartz gems) to defeat monsters with spells, one could write,
* {{xt|A key concept of the game is magic. Players are required to gather crystals, Shwartz gems, to increase their magic points. Shwartz gems can be collected by defeating monsters, searching through containers, and buying them at a shop. The gems also bestow additional benefits on the players, such as increasing their amount of protection, increasing their speed, and allowing them to teleport to certain places. Players must possess certain Shwartz to kill the large monsters, bosses, guarding the end of each level.}}
Another example,
* {{!xt|'''Boogers''' can fly 60 '''Starspitzers''', of which 55 are '''unlocked''' by executing '''no-hit runs'''.}}
We can rewrite the bolded jargon to:
* {{xt|The protagonist Boogers flies [[spacecraft]] called Starspitzers. On starting a game, players choose between five Starspitzers options. When they complete a mission without damaging their spacecraft, a new Starspitzer is added to their choice of spacecrafts. Up to 55 additional Starspitzers can be added in this manner.}}
Waspada terhadap akronim umum yang mungkin hanya diketahui orang tertentu saja, tetapi tidak bagi orang awam. Misalnya, jangan berasumsi bahwa setiap orang mengetahui istilah "MMORPG", "HUD" atau "CPU"; uraikan istilah-istilah tersebut untuk menghindari kebingungan pembaca. Jika istilah tersebut digunakan berkali-kali pada sebuah artikel, maka Anda dapat juga untuk mengurainya saat pertama kali digunakan di badan artikel, dan memakai akronim dalam tanda kurung. Setelah itu, setiap kali istilah ini dipakai berikutnya pada artikel yang sama, Anda dapat menggunakan inisialisme atau akronim. Jika istilah tersebut hanya digunakan sekali atau dua kali, hal tersebut ini tidak perlu dilakukan. Jangan membuat inisialisasi atau akronim untuk menyederhanakan frasa, dan gunakan hanya yang umum digunakan dari sumber yang dapat dipercaya.
In summary:
* Use simpler and common terminology in all instances.
* Only use jargon if they are crucial or unavoidable in explaining the game to the readers.
* Explain jargon briefly on their first usage.
* Link to relevant articles if necessary.
* Try to get someone unfamiliar with video games to read your article and locate any jargon in it.
