Notes
- Use showhide=yes in the infobox above the "level" parameter for areas that have a very large number of levels.
- A list of official soundtracks is located on the Soundtrack page. Listen carefully, and pay attention to song looping. We don't usually include "mini" sessions such as the music that plays during important fights, this information is explicitly for the overall levels within the area.
- If the area has a description, it can be found by mousehovering over the gate map icon. This description usually applies to all levels within that area.
- Only mention monster and status themes if they are a major aspect of the level. Silkwings are everywhere, this doesn't mean we put the fiend icon in the status section of the infobox.
Geography "Subpages"
Geography subpages allow editors to seamlessly link area and mission pages together. They have a unique format that can be "plugged" into pages as needed, and this visually separates them from other pages as well. They permit a massive amount of data to be displayed without distracting from the mission or area pages.
Include information modules and other oddities in the Notes section of an area page only if they show up in every level (as they do with Wolver Dens, etc.) Otherwise put this information in the appropriate geography subpage.
The naming convention of these subpages is a bit tricky:
- Always favor arcade naming convention over mission floor naming convention. The arcade was there first for many areas and levels, and it is the most consistent with its naming convention. Many missions use special names for the same levels for story purposes, and the same level can be used under a different floor name for different missions. An explanation of more differences can be read here.
- To avoid potentially horrible disambiguation issues, the geography subpages are named "Area/Level" unless they are mission exclusive, then they are "Mission/Level."
