Like on any wiki, the article must feature a short introduction, starting by the article name in ''in bold''. A game title must be '''''in italics'''''. At least one relevant picture should be at the right side of the article (in the [[:Category:Infoboxes|Infobox]] when there is one).

If the article is several paragraphs long (or more), it's best to keep the first paragraph as short and succinct as possible, with a clear explanation of what the article is about. However, do not title your introductory text with an "Introduction" or similarly-titled header. Leave the opening paragraph(s) without a header, so that the table of contents is generated after the introductory text.
