:::We certainly hope to document everything, but it's understandable that things sometimes get left out.  The "documentation" category is our most comprehensive so far, the Console subcategory alone has 18 articles in it, heh.  I think multiplayer will come under the "configuration" category, which has all the guides on how to setup and configure Legacy, but that one still needs work.

:::As far as the theme on this wiki goes, I think there's a section in the [https://doomwiki.org/skins/monobook/main.css CSS file] to set the colours of the ads.  You can also replace user.gif, the little icon next to your username link, with something more Doom-ish.  SysOps can edit [[MediaWiki:Monobook.css]], but you have to change the image paths to /skins/monobook/ or they'll break (Took me a while to figure that one out, heh).  -- [[User:DooMAD|DooMAD]] 22:12, 26 Nov 2005 (UTC)

Hello, DooMAD. The decision with my [[MAP14: The Inmost Dens]] contribution was based on an edit [[User:Gez|Gez]] made in the article [[Key]] a month ago, https://doomwiki.org/w/index.php?title=Key&action=historysubmit&diff=75231&oldid=75221. As he's an admin, I assumed that he's aware of the possible style instructions so I decided to follow the style from that edit on. This time I got corrected by you so I'm a tad confused. Is there a specific guideline for the usage of italics? --[[User:Jartapran|Jartapran]] 23:19, 26 January 2012 (UTC)

:For what it's worth, italicizing titles of works of art is just one of these conventions found in about all manuals of style. (Sub-parts get quotes. A book of poems, or a music album, would have its name italicized; a single song or poem would be in quotes. I guess for Doom stuff the equivalent would be italics for the games themselves, and quotes for episode and level names? E.g., "Thy Flesh Consumed" from ''The Ultimate Doom'' or "Dead Simple" from ''Doom II''. I tend not to use italics when referring to the games in a more general way, like the engine, or using Doom regardless of which IWAD is used, using Doom vs. Ultimate Doom to refer to engine or IWAD versions, etc. Final Doom I guess wouldn't get an italic treatment because it's a commercial package of two independent works. Like I wouldn't italicize the [[Master Levels for Doom II]] or the [[id Super Pack]]. I neglect quotes around sub-elements because they'd just clutter the articles.

:No, map articles generally do not have italics or not. I don't think it really matters much either way. --[[User:Gez|Gez]] 00:24, 27 January 2012 (UTC)

::I just changed it back since it didn't match the formatting on the other surrounding map articles and felt it best to keep them all consistent in lieu of any formal policy on italics.  Conversely, we could edit them all to have italics, but that would be more effort, heh.  As Gez says, it's not overly important. - [[User:DooMAD|DooMAD]] 14:28, 27 January 2012 (UTC)
