Talk page usage

Hi there,

Talk pages are only used to discuss the contents of the article such as wording or additional/incorrect information, not to talk about what the article is about. That kind of discussion should be kept to the Steam discussions. Please also remember to sign your comments using ~~~~.

How to make a good Trivia

Here is a guide on how to write a fine looking Trivia. Profiteer(奸商)the tryhard (talk) 04:39, 22 November 2023 (UTC)

Also don't add information about something that is well documented on other pages. Profiteer(奸商)the tryhard (talk) 04:44, 22 November 2023 (UTC)
It is fine to include information that's documented on other pages, however, it depends on the information. Stuff like the upgrades available in the Upgrade Station should be on the Upgrade Station page and not the individual weapon pages. It's also not suitable Trivia in general.

About grammer in English

Although wiki don't have very strict policy on grammer, I suggest you put what you wirte into grammer checking tools before adding them, also the "view preview" button is a great tool when editing a large amount of content, I believe It will help your edit quality greatly with well use. Here is a guide on how to make good edits, wish you luck Profiteer(奸商)the tryhard (talk) 04:43, 23 November 2023 (UTC)

Using "Show preview" also helps with seeing if you've spelled the name of a weapon correctly (e.g. "Scorch Shot" rather than "Schorch Shot", "Disciplinary Action" rather than "diciplinary action", or "Backburner" rather than "Back Burner"). It also seems that English is not your first language, many of the edits made to the strategy page have poor grammar and spelling, consider running your sentences by a native speaker first or an online grammar checking tool.

Don't use terms that only should appear in "Speaking English"

words like "gonna", "gotta", "ain't" shouldn't be used when writing a main space page(except for quotes of in-game voicelines), use "going to" instead. Also remember to add a "[space]" after a punctuation mark in English. Good luck soldier. Profiteer(奸商)the tryhard (talk) 03:16, 25 November 2023 (UTC)

Strategy pages

Hi there,

When editing a strategy page for a map, the strategy should apply to that map only. If a tip is a general tip for a class, it should not be put on the strategy page. It's not bad if a section is left empty due to no tips.
