Line 1:
Although [[Glitch City Laboratories]] is, and always has been, mainly about Pokémon [[glitch]]es, pages about glitches from other video games are now allowed. The following are '''guidelines'''rules for such pages.
 
==Most articles==
For the majority of non-Pokémon game glitches, they should be added in a list of glitches article named after the game (for example: [[Super Smash Bros. Melee]] links to a list of glitches about the popular fighting game for Nintendo GameCube).
 
If this game has significant version differences that could cause a glitch in one version not to occur in the other, please add (version) after the title. For example, <nowiki>[[game (Nintendo Entertainment System)]]</nowiki>.
 
Each article must describe at least one glitch.
 
==Highly 'notable' glitches==
It has been decided that since the [[Minus World (Super Mario Bros.)]] and [[Level 256 split screen (Pac-Man)]] are particularly infamous bugs they should have their own articles. This will be decided on a case by case basis.
 
However we acknowledge what constitutes a notable article is subjective. If in doubt ask on this page's talk page or on the forums and we'll decide what to do by consensus.
 
==The <nowiki>{{nonpoke}}</nowiki> tag==
Line 5 ⟶ 17:
<tt><nowiki>{{nonpoke|name of game}}</nowiki></tt>
and places the article outside the Pokémon series into its own category. For example, the {{par|Black Hole Glitch|Super Smash Bros. Melee}} article displays this template.
 
==Article title==
The title of the article must have the name of the game after it, in parentheses. For example, the article mentioned above is fully named '''Black Hole Glitch (Super Smash Bros. Melee)'''. However, the stuff in the parentheses does not have to appear in text links. To illustrate, the <tt><nowiki>{{par}}</nowiki></tt> template, used like
<tt><nowiki>{{par|name of article|stuff in parentheses}}</nowiki></tt>
can be used to make links to such articles. Example: {{par|Black Hole Glitch|Super Smash Bros. Melee}}
 
==Validation==
Non-Pokémon game articles are '''not''' exempt from the rules on [[help:article validation|article validation]]. This means that a wiki sysop or quality control (QC) volunteer must manually vet new articles created as well as further edits to these articles. This generally means that the glitch, quirk, or trick has been personally tested by the approving editor. We are all Pokémon fans, so Pokémon articles are easier to manage; however, this does not exempt non-Pokémon articles from undergoing validation.
 
Non-validated articles will be marked with the <nowiki>{{factcheck}}</nowiki> template.
 
==Manual of style==
TheAll rules found in the [[Glitch City Laboratories:Manual of style|manual of style]] must, ofshould course,also be adhered to.
 
==Post-script==
Super Smash Bros. games are not considered part of the Pokémon series on GCLGlitch City Laboratories.
