Cyberpunk Wiki:Manual of Style/Weapon guide

This is a weapon page layout which is encouraged to use for all weapon articles on the wiki.

Lead Section
The lead section is anything included before the table of contents and/or the article content. With the exception of the introductory text, they are optional depending on the situation, and must follow this order:
 * 1) Disambiguation links if there is another article of the same name, or may be confused with another.
 * 2) Article maintenance tags Alternatively, the maintenance tags can be included within a specific section of the article, with the exception of "stub" which must always be present in the lead section.
 * 3) Infobox/transformer template. They are generally wrapped in onlyinclude tags.
 * 4) *The infobox information should comply with the following:
 * 5) **Values of a max level weapon at Common rarity (Legendary for Iconic weapons), without the influence of Attributes, Skills or Perks
 * 6) Short introductory text, including the weapon name in Bold followed by information about which source the weapon appears in, it's manufacturer, any relevant information about the type and mechanism it uses, a quotation etc.
 * 7) *Example: The Nue is a Power Pistol manufactured by Tsunami Defense Systems appearing in.
 * 8) Table of contents which generally appears after the lead, provided there is more than four headings. If the page is lone but does not have any table of contents, you may manually add it with.

Infobox
See Template:Infobox Weapon2077.

Characteristics
The overview should include a description of the weapon and its main features, its appearance, its effects, and other information that one can find about it.

Special effects, such as iconic effects, are best deducted using the REDmod DLC files for Cyberpunk 2077. Specifically the  files are useful here.

Database Entry
This is where to put the complete database entry for a weapon as it appears in Cyberpunk 2077. To do so, simply use the Template:DBEntry and fill in the title, image and transcript field. For weapons that don't have database entries, it's okay to put "This weapon has no database entry."

Acquisition
This area is for the methods a weapon can be acquired and should be marker with a bullet list. For some this may be several methods, such as a vendor, crafting spec, quest etc., indenting (using ** in the source editor or simply hitting tab when on the bullet point) can help sort them. Note that for weapons that are only lootable from common sources, such as enemies, one should define which enemies or affiliated gangs they can be obtained from. Only list guaranteed locations here. An example:
 * Rarity can be purchased for Price from:
 * Vendor in District
 * Quest - Reward to V for completing/gifted to by Character

Crafting
See Template:CraftingTable Here you can put the required crafting recipes for a weapon, and where to obtain them or when they are unlocked.

Variants
List here appearances and iconics of the weapon (in gallery or bullet list format if no image is available). Similar to See Also.

Behind the Scenes
Excerpts from official books or other media, such as the Digital Artbook.

Trivia
Trivia should be listed using bullet points. This includes anything not related to the game (like easter egg examples would go here).
 * Anything that is not a note or bug goes here
 * Do not list real world look-a-like weapon information

Bugs
Bugs should be listed using a bullet list. This includes examples that were not intentionally meant to be in the game. Additionally, you may include one link to a fan-made bug fix per bug. However, the link should be removed once it has been patched.
 * Anything that is not a note or trivia goes here

Maps
Any map(s) relevant to the weapon can be included here. This can include a map from the customized map tab or pictures of maps from the game. If putting up pictures, use for uniform formatting.

Gallery
Use to display the pictures in a table. Keep images focussed on the subject matter without too many other characters, items and objects. Allowed images are:
 * Screenshots of first person models
 * Weapon skins
 * Blueprints
 * Artwork (you must credit the artist on the image page using Template:File Information.)

Navigation
This is where any navboxes go, with a few exceptions (for example, a page that has no information other than a really long infobox, pushing all other content out of sight).

Categories
Avoid clogging the article with categories of subcategories. Always use the lowest subcategory possible and don't use any supercategories above a subcategory that is already listed.

To make the article sort different than the page name, you may use. If you want the article to appear at the top of the category page.

For more information on categories, see the help page on Wikipedia.

If the page exists in another language, you are welcome to add it.
