User blog:Ryan404000/Revamping in-game Location Pages

So over the last few weeks I have been working out ways to make ingame location pages steamlined and all have a similar setup. For that matter I have figured out a format I like and will post the template below. The template will have examples of how you should categorize the lore location page, how its category page should be categorized and the basic setup of headers you should put on it.

While this doesn't matter for your own fanon locations it could also help you when trying to figure out what you should put on your pages to give people reading the page an idea of what your settlement is about. When working on some pages I have been refering back to the Duskwood Page as a good example of how it should look.

Again this only will apply to ingame zones (maybe minor locations in the future, who knows) and this is something you do not have to do if you are making an ingame zone's page. But if you enjoy editing and want to help out, you are more than likely to start working on it with me. This is a long term project of mine and I hope that by the end of it all of our lore zone pages will have a good setup and feel to them that will help the reader.
