Template:Mod Page
Overview
Start with a mod description. This should be a general overview of what the mod is and maybe what sets it apart from other mods in its genre. This is broad information and can include what the mod is now, as well as what is intended for the future. Note that writing what engine or game the mod is for is redundant, if this is already specified in the ModStatus template.
Features
- a quick list of features
- bulleted lists are always nice
- they give the viewer a quick overview of what is in the mod
- you don't need to list every minute feature here
Media
This section should contain media such as screenshots, concept art, movies or even music. This category is important because it shows "proof of concept": That the mod is actually being worked on, and not just something that looks good on paper or in the authors mind. This is required to prevent the wiki from being swamped in mere mod fantasies. Without proof of concept (like in-game screenshots or an external link to a site where in-game screenshots are available) the article will almost certainly be flagged for deletion.
History
A brief history of the mod. How long has it been around, what kind of changes has it gone through, what problems had to be overcome. You know. Whatever. If you want it.
Team
Some information about the mod team.
Localized versions
Information about the localized versions of the mod.

Note that if you haven't provided any media in the Media section, you have to include a working link to where media can be found here (like an official site), to show proof of concept.
Categorization (Remove this header before creating the article.)
Using the ModStatus template at the top of the page to specify what engine (and even game) the mod is for, whether the mod is single-player or multiplayer, and in what stage of the development process it is currently in, should have already categorized the mod into the appropriate categories.
There are, however, two additional tags that (if needed) you have to provide manually: [[Category:Help Wanted]] and [[Category:Open Source Mods]]. Insert them at the bottom of the page.
