The Fallout faction overhaul project is a project dedicated to organizing and improving the quality of the various faction pages.
Scope[]
All articles in:
- Fallout factions
- Fallout 2 factions
- Fallout 3 factions
- Fallout: New Vegas factions
- Fallout Tactics factions
- Fallout: Brotherhood of Steel factions
Guidelines[]
- Split the history sections into separate articles (leaving a condensed version on the main faction page)
- Add/Confirm suitable image exists (I.E. Faction flag/logo)
- Complete infobox
- Check, improve and keep gameplay information
Layout[]
| Layout | ||
|---|---|---|
| Section headline | required? | Content |
| Infobox and games template. | ||
| Short summary that usually looks something like this:
"{{PAGENAME}} is a powerful and merciless slaving organization, led by the charismatic and cunning Caesar." In general, it should contain:
Optional:
| ||
| History | History of the faction. If it is exceptionally long, the main article should contain a summary highlighting the most important facts and ultimate goals. In such a case, a link to the article with the factions history (eg. History of the Brotherhood of Steel) placed at the top using {{Main|Target article}}. A sub-section "ending" can be added if the faction in question appears at least in one of endings. | |
| Society/Organization | This heading should detail how the faction is organized, how their society functions, if there are any specific social norms etc. the members are expected to follow etc. For smaller factions, like the Gun Runners, simply use the Organization heading to describe it. | |
| Structure | In case a faction has a specific hierarchy, this heading should be used to provide an overview of how it is structured. If there is enough information to warrant a separate article, then split the information and leave a summary in the main article along with a link to the child article. | |
| Military | In case a faction has a separate military arm that differs substantially from the parent, this heading should be used to provide an overview of how it is structured and how it works. If there is enough information to warrant a separate article, then split the information and leave a summary in the main article along with a link to the child article. Sub-sections "Members", "Rank system" etc. can be added if necessary with a redirect to an existing page. | |
| Relations with the outside | An overview of where the faction stands in relation with the outside. | |
| Technology | An overview of where the faction's technological level. | |
| Interactions with the player character | Optional, only if the player can have different interactions with them, but necessary if a faction appears in several games. | |
| Notes | For interesting things about the faction which do not fit into the other categories - gameplay or not gameplay. Try to keep this section to a minimum. | |
| Development | For any and all information relating to the development of the faction before the game's release. | |
| Appearances | Which games/add-ons does this faction appear in. | |
| Behind the scenes | For out-of-game references and similar stuff. | |
| Bugs | For bugs unique to the faction. Quest bugs should be moved to the appropriate quest article page. General bugs should be removed from the NPC article. This section should be used sparingly, as entirely faction-specific bugs are uncommon. | |
| Gallery | Cluttering the article with too many images should be avoided. Instead, place them in a gallery at the end if applicable. | |
| References | If a <ref> tag has been used in the article, {{references}} needs to be inserted here. This section is ONLY for this purpose.
| |
| Navboxes | Navboxes go at the end of the article. | |
Infobox[]
The info box should contain:
{{Infobox faction
|game = Which game(s) this faction appears in
|name ={{PAGENAME}}
|image =Image of the emblem of the faction
|desc =Short description of the emblem
|founder =Self-explanatory
|leader =Enumerate leaders appearing in the games, along with the dates of their reign
|headquarters =Self-explanatory
|locations =Self-explanatory
|parent =If this is a splinter faction or a subfaction, note the parent one here
|divisions =Self-explanatory
|related =Self-explanatory
|members =Self-explanatory; if an excessive number of members exists, link to the category instead.
}}
Image[]
- Should show the faction logo/emblem/insignia
- Images should be of good quality and easily readable.
- Images should show no parts of the UI, i.e. no crosshair or HUD.
It is best to extract images directly from texture files if possible. If you have artistic skills, you can remake the logo/emblem/insignia in high resolution and make it look great.
