This page is a guide to creating or editing mainspace pages at Industry Idle Wiki in accordance with the established article style. These guidelines are not set in stone, but they should generally be followed in order to maintain consistency across pages, unless there is a good reason to make an exception.
General guidelines
Capitalization
All in-game entities with their name explicitly spelled out should follow the in-game case.
- Iron Mine
- Research Lab
- Science
- Book
- Building Permits
Building Icons
Buildable production facility icons are uploaded with dimensions of 75x75px with a #33495d color background and solid white foreground.
Player Pronoun
If refering to someone playing the game, use player. Use language to avoid the usage of 'player' in objective, informational sections of the Wiki, meaning sections such as 'Tips' and 'Trivia' are excluded. Never use subject pronouns (you, I, he, she).
Tips & Trivia
Some pages can contain or have added 'Tips' or 'Trivia' sections at the footer of the page for gameplay hints, guides, helpful information, or random facts.
These sections may contain opinions and recommendations that otherwise should not be found in the other sections of the pages. To clarify, sections other than Tips and Trivia should not contain opinions or recommendations such as "it is advised to...", "most players tend to...", "it's best to do x when...".
Automation
Several pages of the Wiki are automated through Python scripting using Action API and should never be manually edited:
- Template:ProductionFacilityTables used in Resources & Production Facilities page
- Template:MainNavResources used in Template:MainNav found in the footer of all Wiki pages
- Template:AchievementsTable used in Achievements page
- Template:PatchNotesTable used in Patch Notes page
- Template:PoliciesTable used in Policy Center page
- Resource pages that use the Template:Resource template (e.g. Iron, Book, etc)
- All Template:FacilityRow children used in Template:FacilityTable used in Template:Resource used for all resource pages (e.g. Template:FacilityRow/Iron Mine)
