General guidelines

Game guide and manual references must include the name of the guide, edition (if applicable), and page number(s) of the referenced content. The name of the guide must be linked to the relevant Fallout wiki page.

• The guide name and edition must be in italics. They must be followed by a comma to separate this info from the page number.
• If the referenced content spans multiple pages, then include "pp." before the page numbers. Otherwise, the content is on a single page, and "p." must be included before the page numbers.
• Small amounts of a guide's text may be included in a reference. In such a case, also include the section title, referenced content, and link to the relevant wiki page (if applicable).
• Section titles must be italicized. The guide text should be italicized, placed inside of quotation marks, and separated from the main text using a line break.
