*Articles about items, tiles, structures, non-player characters, locations, quests or stories should be titled exactly how the name appears in-game.
|- style="vertical-align:top;"
**This includes, but is not limited to, capitalisation, spelling mistakes and UK English vs US English.

*Articles about in-game characters should contain their first and last names, rather than their nickname. For example, rather than Bob or Baldspot, the article would be called Bob Smith.

**The exception is if the full name is not known, therefore only the first name is required, otherwise the nickname.

| style="padding: 10px;" | Welcome to ''The Project Zomboid Wiki'' (''PZwiki'' for short) '''community portal'''! The community portal is where the community of the ''PZwiki'' can come together to organise and discuss changes to the wiki.  


''[[Project Zomboid]]'' is still in development and therefore requires continuous updates and suppоrt from community volunteers as the game develops.  
===Language bar===
This section is for the [[Template:Languages|language bar]]. The languages section is used to link all the different languages that article can be found in. For example: <code><nowiki>{{</nowiki>languages|Nails}}</code> displays a link to every page that is connected with <code>/##</code> on the end (e.g. [[Nails/fr]]), even if the article contains redirects.


===Header/Navbar===
The [[Template:Header|header/navbar]] displays a navigation bar, when the article was last updated and a background for the article. Due to current wiki policy, articles that are about an in-game item or mechanic ''must'' include a [[:Category:Version|version category]] based on when they were last updated in the wiki. This allows us to track which articles may be outdated.


The ''PZwiki'' would appreciate help in any way provided, so long as it follows the basic [[PZwiki:Wiki Rules|wiki rules]] and [[Style Guide|style guide]]. If you'd like to make any general suggestions or ask a question, please use the [[PZwiki talk:Community portal|'''discussion page''']].
===Infobox===
|}
This section is for the [[:Category:Infobox|infobox]] which will be positioned on the right-side of the page. The infobox provides a quick summary of important points and are easy-to-read.

Article Layout

Titles

Pages must have appropriate titles.

  • Articles about items, tiles, structures, non-player characters, locations, quests or stories should be titled exactly how the name appears in-game.
    • This includes, but is not limited to, capitalisation, spelling mistakes and UK English vs US English.
  • Articles about in-game characters should contain their first and last names, rather than their nickname. For example, rather than Bob or Baldspot, the article would be called Bob Smith.
    • The exception is if the full name is not known, therefore only the first name is required, otherwise the nickname.

Language bar

This section is for the language bar. The languages section is used to link all the different languages that article can be found in. For example: {{languages|Nails}} displays a link to every page that is connected with /## on the end (e.g. Clous), even if the article contains redirects.

Header/Navbar

The header/navbar displays a navigation bar, when the article was last updated and a background for the article. Due to current wiki policy, articles that are about an in-game item or mechanic must include a version category based on when they were last updated in the wiki. This allows us to track which articles may be outdated.

Infobox

This section is for the infobox which will be positioned on the right-side of the page. The infobox provides a quick summary of important points and are easy-to-read.

Notices and notice boxes

Notices can be anything from a notice box, which alerts both readers and editors of something important about the article, to a disambiguation link, which is used to present a link to what the reader may have been searching for instead.
