SDG Wiki:Scope

From SDG Wiki
Jump to navigation Jump to search

Scope refers to the extent of this wiki's coverage of various topics. In other words, it represents what readers can expect to find on the SDG Wiki and its articles. First and foremost, the SDG Wiki is a game wiki. We are committed to providing detailed articles regarding content for the PC version of Unturned, and any other projects released by Smartly Dressed Games.

Unturned

The SDG Wiki's main focus is on covering official content for the PC version of Unturned available on Steam. It is considered the most important type of content covered by the wiki, and when otherwise unspecified it can be assumed that an article is most likely talking about official Unturned content.

Unturned has several iterations. The latest iteration is termed "version 3" (or "U3"). The other iterations are "classic" ("U2"), and "antique" ("U1"). When needing to disambiguate, these terms can be used.

Curated content

Curated content is slowly entering the scope of the SDG Wiki. Although not a strict policy, it is preferable to focus on newer maps as these tend to be the most played (and more relevant) to players. A notable exception is for curated content that also has more official integration with the game, such as those available on the console ports, or with official Steam achievements.

Be mindful that curated projects tend to bring a large amount of new content. This content may even include changes to existing official content, which can cause contradicting, conflicting, or confusing information. In most circumstances, curated content should appear on separate pages from official content. For curated content that is only available on a specific map, the map name should be appended (in parenthesis) to the article name. For example: Bottled Water (Kuwait). When a curated map item does not share a similar name with any official content, it may be desirable to create a redirect without the map name appended, to the article with it appended. For example: Giant Mutated Cucumber redirects to Giant Mutated Cucumber (Kuwait).

Console ports

Unturned has console ports developed by third-party studios. These ports do not run on the same version of the game as the PC version, and do not include all of the same content. When writing or updating articles to include content that is exclusive to the console ports, this information should be clearly marked.

Chinese version

A separate version of Unturned is available to Chinese players, which may differ slightly from the international version. When writing articles about Unturned, the international version of the game (available on Steam) should be used instead.

Unturned II

Unturned II is within the scope of the SDG Wiki. However—due to its development status, and lack of content, coverage should be consolidated into as few pages as reasonable.

Other projects

The SDG Wiki intends to be for all things Smartly Dressed Games, even if it is predominantly an Unturned game wiki. Other games or projects fall within the scope of the wiki. For example, Jolf. Relevant history, bibliographies, non-game projects, and merchandise would also fall under the scope of the wiki.
