="Brevity page"= No context, who cares?!

=Now lets try the Prydwen terminals=

=The Vault: Gamebyo Creation terminals display policy=
 * 1) All pages transcribing terminals from the game are titled terminals, rather than terminal entries. Because these pages are more then just the entries of terminals at a location. They include the context of each terminal, including the location(s) of each terminal within the location, lock level, and context of each command.
 * 2) Terminals by Location is the format, with Generic terminals transcribed into each page that utilizes them. Separating pages is completely unnecessary, creating unnecessary page bloat. Implying to not link terminals because they are not uniquely named is simply ridiculous. The vast majority of terminals are generically named and all linked appropriately in all Fallout 3 and New Vegas location pages.
 * 3) When multiple terminals reside within a building in a settlement, it will be located on that buildings page. However the whole article will be linked in the settlement's main page. See Megaton as an example.
 * 4) All terminals are to be placed within the article with a first to last approach. For example those closest to the main entrance would be first, then proceeding to main exit, unless they are generic. Then they would be merged into the topmost terminal, with the "Notes" section describing each individual terminal.

'''Other than the context notes, This is the format that we have had since the beginning 2008 (ie FO3)!!! This is the format that I have spent at least four years standardizing. Meticulously checking each entry for errors.'''
 * The Full Terminal Name as is in game, with absolutely no de-capitalizing or spelling corrections. It is to also be used with the 2nd level heading.
 * The "Notes:" section(s) on where the individual terminal(s) are located, what kind it is, and what its Hacking level is. These section(s) are to be placed underneath the Main Header for that specific terminal(s).
 * The "entry headers" (term I'm using) must be added above whatever is being accessed with its own transcript template to differentiate that it is NOT part of the loaded entry. Please note that there is sometimes a header for the terminal itself and multiple headers for the sections of the terminal entries.
 * The Content of the Terminal Entries - Must be a Direct copy-paste from the GECK editor!
 * The "loading notice" (term I'm using) must be added below whatever is being accessed with a  to differentiate that it is NOT part of the loaded text. Must also be a Direct copy-paste from the GECK editor, not all are the same either!

The Notes section for the terminal entries pages is for Notes about the page's content. Misspellings, grammatical errors, lore errors, et cetera, within the content are to be mentioned here.

Example Entry 1234
Code:



=If we even bother with keeping terminal Entries pages= This nonsense. Or just ignore the headers closers and context all together! Ya know what. I would love to show just how bad this would look like with the Prydwen terminals.

=Fallout: New Vegas= Now without a Fu...rakin page, because really none of you want it to have one.

=Fallout 4=

=For Comparison With Format= Because how else are going to express the terminals of the location.

=For comparison= Tags & Me, HalluciGen, Inc. terminals
