AppleGamingWiki:Editing guide

From AppleGamingWiki, the wiki about gaming on M1 Apple silicon Macs

Article structure

AppleGamingWiki's article structure is directly derived from that of PCGamingWiki. Please refer to PCGamingWiki's Editing guide for specific instructions on specific details on how to format an article. On AppleGamingWiki, our article structure (to begin with) purposefully reduces the complexity of the articles, however other sectins will eventually be reintroduced.

This means the inherits from PCGamingWiki the following sections:

Compatibility
Availability
Issues resolved
Issues unresolved

Our articles omit the following sections:

Introduction
Monetization
Essential improvements
Game data
Video
Input
Audio (and Localizations)
Network
VR support
Other information (and API)
System requirements

Editing guide

Many articles have the PCGamingWiki article structure as a basis. Therefore to save time it should be possible to directly copy the Infobox of any PCGamingWiki article into an AppleGamingWiki article.
