| It is desired to use the official name of the game. Many games are well known for/by their abbreviations, such as [[:en:games:counter-strike|CS]] or [[en:games:star_trek_-_voyager_elite_force|EF]]. Do not use those abbreviations as titles. Use their full name, as it was released by the [[:en:games:publishers|publisher]]. This is not always possible for the technical names, but for the main headline and referencing Links, use the official name, at least when referencing them the first time in an article. | It is desired to use the official name of the game.

| Some articles are not about a game in particular, not a game series, but about games surrounding topics, such as technical stuff or simply covering a topic, that may be of interest in conjunction with games. Examples are [[:en:games:publishers|Publishers]], [[en:network_terms:vpn|VPN]] or [[:en:games:nexuiz_ctf_strategy|Nexuiz CTF Strategy]]. Your //are// encouraged to do such articles as well. But please always keep in mind, that it is related to the topic "games". So an article on how to set up a game's server on Linux is quite OK. But describing how to set up a Linux server itself is not. Please reference outside resources on such related topics and limit yourself to the content, that actually has a bearing on the matter gaming. This is not the Wikipedia itself. ;-) | Some articles are not about a game in particular, not a game series, but about games surrounding topics, such as technical stuff or simply covering a topic, that may be of interest in conjunction with games.
