General

This site seeks to be as light weight and efficient as possible, so no files or images are hosted here.

To use an external image you just need to paste the URL with no extra formatting.

Game pages

When making a page for a new game make the page name Game Name mods, this helps with search results.

Add the Infobox game template. For the boxart use the boxart off wikipedia or pcgamingwiki if possible.

Add the category [[Category:Game page]]

Template:

{{Infobox game
|title = Game Name
|image = [[File:Game_Name_boxart.jpg|320x320px]]
|developer = [[wikipedia:Developer|Developer]]
|publisher = [[wikipedia:Publisher|Publisher]]
|platform = Windows, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360
|release = September 11, 2011
}}

==Mods==
*[[Game Name mods/Mod Name|Mode Name]]

Mod pages

When making a page for a new mod make the page name Game Name mods/Mod Name

Add the Infobox mod template. For the logo don't go above 320x320 (imgur's medium thumbnail is this size).

Add the categories: [[Category:Mod page]] and [[Category:Game Name mods]]

Upload your mod to multiple sites. As everything is hosted externally, the more mirrors the better. Some file hosters: archive.org, catbox.moe (200MB file limit), sharemods.com, multiup.io, mediafire.com (50GB limit per account), mega.nz (20GB limit per account).

If your mod is big, consider making a torrent.

Template:

{{SHORTDESC:Add a very short description here}}
{{Infobox mod
|title = Mod Name
|logo = https://image.url/320x320_logo.jpg
|developer = Mod Maker's Name
|version = 1.0
|release = 2023-03-13
}}
