Call of Duty Wiki:Weapon rules

Rules and guidelines for the weapon pages:

History
Each page starts out with a history page. This section details the weapon's history in real life. When describing its history, do not list everything that ever happened to it and exactly how it works; just give a brief summary. If you can, add a picture of the real-life weapon as well.

In game descriptions
First, start off the page by describe who uses the weapon and what single player levels you can find it. After that, basic strategies for the weapons are put it. Finally, put a gallery that has pictures of the weapon in-game. This can be done by typing.

This is also the section to place unusual gameplay-related quirks about this weapon, such as how the World at War bolt-action rifles do different damage depending on if they have a sniper scope or not. If these quirks significantly affect the weapon, they should be mentioned on the strategy portion of the game.

Trivia
This is where you put misc facts about the weapon IN-GAME. Do not put trivia that relates to real life, such as how some dude in WWII held off an entire wave of enemies by hip-firing a M1919 machine gun. Do not put facts that relate to the weapon not looking 100% like it does in real life; game developers usually have to skimp on weapon detail for performance reasons. However, you can add things like the Call of Duty guy reloading the gun the wrong way, since that has nothing to do with technical issues.

Do nots
When adding onto a weapon page in general, do not:


 * Talk about how the gun's name in game is incorrect or whatever. These are complete worthless discussions that seems more like a show-off contest between gun fans than a real discussion.


 * Use "You", "I" or any other first or second pronouns. This makes the wiki page sound like a blog, not an information source anyone can read.


 * Do not write that the weapon sucks and/or is overpowered. Nobody cares.


 * Do not write that the weapon's accuracy/recoil isn't exactly like it is in real life. This is pointless because the Call of Duty series are video games; their point is to be fun, not realistic.
