The '''Plot Summary''' should contain a brief overview of the location and may include geographic location, the history, or descriptions of the terrain. It may also contain descriptions of prominent locations or inhabitants, provided they are relevant to the text.
The '''Plot Summary''' should contain one paragraph that summarizes the events of the session. It should long enough to describe the main points, but short to remain a single paragraph. Session summary formatting may be changed later once more of the wiki is filled out.  


The '''Known Locations''' and '''Known Residents''' sections should be bulleted lists that either link to a page about a location (e.g. shops, buildings, etc.) or character but if none is available, a brief description may suffice. Each list element should be bolded. For [[List of Nations|Nation]] pages, '''Known Residents''' should be named '''Known Citizens'''. Characters who temporarily lived in a certain location should still be added, not just 'current' characters. Descriptions can be added if necessary, but this should be done only for explaining odd cases or if a character has no page of their own.
The '''NPC Appearances''' and '''Locations Visited''' sections should be bulleted lists that either link to a page about a location (e.g. shops, buildings, etc.) or character but if none is available, a brief description may suffice. Each list element should be bolded.


The '''Appearances''' section should be a bulleted list of all sessions or documents that reference the location.
The '''Continuity''' section should also be a bulleted list and is meant to list out important developments pertaining to past, present, and future plot reveals regarding the campaign. (e.g. "This session establishes a method of travel to the Void Plane.")


== Weathia Locations ==
It is ''not'' the same as the '''Trivia''' section, which contains information that is less relevant to the campaign. Typically contains more facts about characters, but not always. (e.g. "This session was the first to establish Tsunawi's unnatural dexterity while wearing high heels.")
All location pages should include a link to '''[[Weathia (world)]]''' and the respective '''nation''' in the opening paragraph. If the location only exists outside of the [[Weathia-Prime|Prime]] universe, please wait until further notice on how these should be formatted.  
== Spireloft Locations ==
All location pages should include a link to '''[[Spireloft (world)]]''' and the respective '''nation''' in the opening paragraph.


The page should be tagged as '''Spireloft''', '''Spireloft Locations''', and '''Locations'''. See the [[Erumita]] page as a reference.
All session pages should be tagged '''[[[[:Category:Sessions]]]]'''.

This page is a subsection of the page formatting section of the Manual of Style that explains how session pages should be formatted.

General Rules

Opening Sentences

The first few sentences should specify the session name, the session number, the campaign it took place in, and the date the session was run on. The session number can be omitted if not relevant, and the date of the session is based on the GM's timezone.

For example, this is not an acceptable opening sentence:

Buck Wild was a Spireloft Session.

This is far too vague and doesn't provide enough information at a glance. Here's how it can be reformatted:

Buck Wild was the 17th session of Spireloft. It was run on December 23rd, 2023...

Content Order

This is the general order of headings for session pages. If a heading is not applicable, it does not have to be included.

  • Plot Summary
  • NPC Appearances
  • Locations Visited
  • Continuity
  • Gallery
  • Trivia
  • References

The Plot Summary should contain one paragraph that summarizes the events of the session. It should long enough to describe the main points, but short to remain a single paragraph. Session summary formatting may be changed later once more of the wiki is filled out.

The NPC Appearances and Locations Visited sections should be bulleted lists that either link to a page about a location (e.g. shops, buildings, etc.) or character but if none is available, a brief description may suffice. Each list element should be bolded.

The Continuity section should also be a bulleted list and is meant to list out important developments pertaining to past, present, and future plot reveals regarding the campaign. (e.g. "This session establishes a method of travel to the Void Plane.")

It is not the same as the Trivia section, which contains information that is less relevant to the campaign. Typically contains more facts about characters, but not always. (e.g. "This session was the first to establish Tsunawi's unnatural dexterity while wearing high heels.")

All session pages should be tagged [[Category:Sessions]].

Weathia: Resurrection Sessions

Weathia: Final Crisis Sessions

Spireloft Sessions

Renova: The Forgotten Sessions
