== Titles and names ==
 
  
Please use the short name for the title of the '''main page''' of each character, and the complete or long name inside the '''Character Infobox'''. Example: '''Priya''' (page title) / '''Dr. Priya Singh''' (infobox title). Don't forget to add page redirections if needed.
 
 
== Infobox ==
 
 
Infoboxes present a set of relevant, consistent and universal information for all characters. If a type of information is not shared by the majority of characters, then it has no place here. Location are exclusively places where the character can be found usually – so not limited in a route, or from a route. Example: [[Helen]] moves to the [[church]] location at a later point in [[Walkthrough#Mia and Helen's route|Mia and Helen's route]]. This info should not be presented in the infobox.
 
 
== Links ==
 
 
Don't provide too many links. If a content is linked in the infobox, please don't add another one on the page. A link to the [[Main Character|main character]]'s page is useless as the readers are supposed to know who is he. To quote [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style/Linking#What_generally_should_not_be_linked Wikipedia Manual of Style]:
 
<blockquote>A good question to ask yourself is whether reading the article you're about to link to would help someone understand the article you are linking from. Unless a term is particularly relevant to the context in the article, the following are not usually linked:
 
 
* Everyday words understood by most readers in context.
 
* The names of subjects with which most readers will be at least somewhat familiar.</blockquote>
 
 
== Description section ==
 
 
Write a complete description of the character, starting with the physical characteristics. Face type, haircut, gaze, chest size or general appearance are often the missing features. The purpose of this section is to help the readers to imagine the character. Please do not indicate who is the inspiration as this information must be added to the [[Easter eggs]] page; we can assume the wiki to be small enough for its repetition to be dispensable.
 
 
There is no objection to detailing the character's lower clothing and shoes; but these elements are often masked, so they are perfectly dispensable and can be reserved for the shortest descriptions.
 
 
== Personality section ==
 
 
Add here the character's general personality, possibly specifying how he/she reacts to certain situations. Also, what does he/she like to do, what does he/she dislike.
 
 
== Story section ==
 
 
This section is not intended to reveal ''Summertime Saga'' stories, but only to give a context. Most of the characters portrayed in the game have a backstory, a family, a place where they live or work, hobby or activity. His/Her name or surname should be explained. Some details may not be given in the game but during the game artist's streams, such as the character's age or origins. Depending on their pertinence, they have their place in the article. A forelook of the next events can be used as a conclusion in order to introduced the next section.
 
 
== Events section ==
 
 
I've spent few weeks wondering if an '''Events''' section belongs to the characters' pages. If so, what should be presented inside this section?
 
 
First, we should not add every events on the pages. It's not the right place for that, the [[walkthrough]] page is more appropriate. And we cannot maintain every characters' pages with all the stories in the game, it represents too much work.
 
 
But, because ''Summertime Saga'' is an adult game, a good compromise is to add a small summary of the sexy scenes encountered. One title, and one or two sentences that explain what is happening should be enough. Priority is given to additional sexual scenes that are not in the walkthrough because they are unlocked elsewhere. This list of events should arouse curiosity and make the reader want to discover them in‐game.
 
 
Moreover, please use the collapsible element to hide the contents that spoil the story.
 
 
== Pregnancy ==
 
 
I don't want to add a pregnancy category in the '''Character Infobox''' yet as only a few characters – three in version 0.18 – can be pregnant. But don't forget to add a '''Note''' if a new character offers this feature.
 
 
== Your opinion and help ==
 
 
Feel free to let me know your opinions, positives and negatives, on these subjects. Do you think we could add more info in the infobox? Add links to the [[Cookie Jar]]? Etc. Your help is welcome. --[[User:Casiope|Casiope]] ([[User talk:Casiope|talk]])
