[edit] Guidelines for adding mods to the article

  • There must be some basic level of assurance that this mod is not vaporware. A general guideline is if the mod does not have a website yet or a downloadable playable version, it does not belong in this list.
  • Each mod should be listed only once. If it has both singleplayer and multiplayer components, list it only in one category, but be sure to remark on all of its play modes.
  • Mods should be inserted into lists in alphabetical order.
  • Do not create wikilinks (i.e. UltraCoolMod) for a mod unless it actually has a Wikipedia article. "Red" (missing) wikilinks will be removed.
  • Follow the general formatting and style of the other mods in the list when adding a mod.
  • Use formal language. Do not use the second person voice (i.e. "you" or "your"). Use proper spelling, punctuation, capitalization, etc. Remember, this is an encyclopedia, not a chatroom.
  • Write everything in a neutral point of view. This is not the place to editorialize on a mod, i.e. "This is uber" or "This mod sucks".

[edit] A word on copyrights

When creating an article about a mod, you cannot directly copy and paste the description from another website (not even from the official mod website), unless the text on the website is under a license compatible to the one Wikipedia uses (GFDL). There are two options:

  • Write your own text.
  • The copyright owner explicitly grants usage under the GFDL.
