*One thing to consider is that the articles tend towards to an in-character (IC) role, though there are some obvious out-of-character (OOC) bits included (ex: BV). If there is a place for a stat in the infobox, do not use it in the description if you can avoid it.

*Link everything, at least once. If the term is [[Star League]], link to it. If [[Free Worlds League]] is referenced in the text, link to it. Link to other unit types, like [[DropShip]]s. If the same term is used a lot, especially in the same paragraph, feel free to link only once. But link, even if the linked article does not yet exist: it will someday!

*In the variants section, list the whole designation again. For example, if the [[Auto-Pistol]]  is the primary article, in the variant section, start off each entry with the differenced name [[Auto-Pistol (Sternsnacht)]].

===Format===
 
*Main Page in format [[Class Name (Proper Name)]]as in [[Gauss Rifle, Light (King David)]] with transcluded text <nowiki>{{Gauss Rifle, Light (King David)}}</nowiki>.
 
*If there is both a Battle Armor Mounted and Infantry Portable Weapon, then [[Class Name (Proper Name)(Support Weapon)]] and [[Class Name (Proper Name)(Battle Armor)]]
 
*Transclusion Page (Description, Models, References & Bibliography) [[Template:Gauss Rifle, Light (King David)]] <nowiki><onlyinclude></nowiki> at top, <nowiki></onlyinclude></nowiki> at bottom.
 
*Each Role playing game has its own subpage as seen above e.g. [[Gauss Rifle, Light (King David)/RPG4e]] with transcluded text <nowiki>{{Gauss Rifle, Light (King David)}}</nowiki>.

**Categorizing Infantry Weapons into the more specific aspects (such as classes, weights, etc.) is currently on the back burner; but feel free to at populate the class (e.g., [[:Category:Support Weapons]]) and Crew Requirements (e.g., [[:Category:Support Weapon (Light)|Light Support Weapons]], [[:Category:Support Weapon (Portable)|Portable Support Weapons]], [[:Category:Support Weapon (Semi-Portable)|Semi-Portable Support Weapons]], [[:Category:Support Weapon (Support)|Heavy Support Weapons]]) categories if you have the time.  Remember to further complicate things there is the [[:Category:Weapons (Light)|Light Weapons]] for infantry bladed weapons, staves, bows, pistols and rifles and [[:Category:Weapons (Medium)|Medium Weapons]] for all three classes of Support Weapons as well as [[:Category:BattleArmor Mounted Weapons]].  The Third type [[:Category:Weapons (Heavy)|Heavy Weapons]], is a re-issue of the class for Vehicle Mounted Weapons.
