Talk:Cyberpunk 2077 Shards

Shard page format
I have a couple points and a question for everyone here that is adding/editing shard pages. We should, together, choose a proper layout for these pages. Some have locations, some dont, some have the little Cyberpunk2077 image at the top, some dont. Some pages have " PAGENAME is a readable ..." and some dont. I've been adding related quest and related shards to the ones I add, But I don't know if that works for all of them or just specific ones. Perhaps a separate category of shard... Lastly, how are you folk narrowing down the location? -PicayuneCoterie (talk) 13:18, 14 December 2020 (UTC)


 * Thanks for starting this discussion. I'd like to propose the following format; see also the comments below. What do you think?


 * Shard Title is a readable shard in Cyberpunk 2077. If possible, provide a short summary of the shard's contents (1-2 sentences).
 * ==Location==
 * (or "Locations" in case of multiple locations)
 * All known locations of this shard. If the shard can be found only before/during/after a specific quest, mention this as well.
 * ==Transcript==
 * In-game spelling errors should be marked as [sic], except for archived conversations where the misspellings are part of the IM/texting language.
 * Example:
 * The quikc [sic] brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.
 * ==Notes==
 * Additional notes about this shard or its contents that don't fit other sections.
 * ==Trivia==
 * Cultural references if any.
 * ==See also==
 * Links to other shards about the same subject, or to other archived conversations of the same person. Examples:
 * Other shards with information about braindance:
 * * New Release Braindances
 * * Relive.it - Braindance Quarterly
 * * Why Be Me?: Confessions of a Braindance Addict
 * Bob's other conversations:
 * * Archived Conversation: Alice and Bob
 * * Archived Conversation: Bob and Carol
 * Links to other shards about the same subject, or to other archived conversations of the same person. Examples:
 * Other shards with information about braindance:
 * * New Release Braindances
 * * Relive.it - Braindance Quarterly
 * * Why Be Me?: Confessions of a Braindance Addict
 * Bob's other conversations:
 * * Archived Conversation: Alice and Bob
 * * Archived Conversation: Bob and Carol
 * * Archived Conversation: Alice and Bob
 * * Archived Conversation: Bob and Carol


 * No infobox. Notes, Trivia, and "See also" can be omitted in the absense of such info.

 * As for your questions:


 * "> little Cyberpunk2077 image at the top"
 * I included it for consistency with other wiki pages e.g. Corporations, Bioware. Some franchise wikis (e.g. Fallout) require game badges on all pages. Cyberpunk wiki policy doesn't mention such requirement but it might be implied. Admin confirmation is needed.


 * is a magic word that outputs the current page title, but it's OK to also spell out the shard title as is in the intro.


 * Location info can be useful for people who'll want to find this shard in-game and not just read about it.


 * "> how are you folk narrowing down the location?"
 * Taking notes about where each shard was found during playthrough.


 * "> related quest"
 * I suggest mentioning the quest in the "Location" section. For example, "Found during the ... quest inside ..." or "Found . This location is visited during the ... quest."
 * A quest link alone without context may be confusing. (Is the shard a quest objective? Does reading this shard start this quest? Or does the shard just happen to be in the same place where the quest takes place?) More details never hurt.


 * "> related shards"
 * I like this! Deus Ex wiki also has related links in transcripts: 1, 2, 3.
 * Sections with related links are typically named "See also". These links are placed at the end of the page. - Sugarhoney (talk) 20:19, 15 December 2020 (UTC)
