Game Shows Wiki:Style guide

The following is a style guide created in an attempt to make the Wiki pages look uniform. If you feel that there is a problem with the style guide, please leave a message on the talk page or be bold and change it.

Titles
Shows should be listed under the most common title.


 * If the show is more commonly known by a short title, then the short title should be used. (Ex. Greed instead of Greed:  The Series, The Price Is Right instead of The New Price Is Right)
 * Abbreviations or short titles (TPiR, WoF, LotHT, GUTS) should redirect to the appropriate game show, if the abbreviations are unambiguous.
 * If a show has multiple runs under the same or similar titles (Match Game, Password), then, as a rule of thumb, the different versions should be put under the same title.
 * If multiple unrelated shows share the same title, the shows should be listed separately, with the year of first premiere in parentheses following each title. (Ex.  Break the Bank (1948), Break the Bank (1976) and Break the Bank (1985))

Sections
Pages on shows should begin with the show's name in bold italics (use five apostrophes). The first paragraph should mention the network the show aired on, the length of its run, and any important personalities involved with the show (host, announcer, producers, music composer, etc.) In the future, there will be an infobox that we can use to condense this information.

Sections should then appear in the following order:
 * 1) Rules
 * 2) Main game
 * 3) End game
 * 4) Notes
 * 5) Airing status (when it aired, if it aired in reruns)
 * 6) Episode status (are the episodes intact or in the trading circuit?)
 * 7) See also
 * 8) References
 * 9) External links (this can be a longer list of fansites than Wikipedia allows; the sites should be arranged from most comprehensive/popular to least)
