User:CamsPatience/Experiment:AreaTemplate

The Area Template is an area in B3313.

(As a side note: Use third-person point of view when writing a page in general. Refer to the player as "the player" or "Mario or Luigi." Never directly talk to the user. The only reason I do here is because the entire article is made for the sake of giving instructions.)

Description
Be descriptive in your description field. Point out any major landmarks or items that might make the area stand out, because there are a lot of areas in B3313. Something notable about an area might include a resemblance to one from the vanilla game (Fire Bubble (B-Roll)'s resemblance to Lethal Lava Land, for example) or pointing out specific prominent enemy type (such as the abundance of Motos in the Motos Factory).

Speaking of the Motos Factory, that course's page is a perfect example of a description field (as well as a perfect example of an area page in general).

If an area existed before the latest version and has changed since then, include a brief description of what was removed from previous versions.

As for the infobox, here's a brief description of every field since none are provided on the Template page (though they should mostly be self-explanatory):


 * Area type - Hub, Course, Gateway, or Plot Point.
 * Hub - An area that directly leads to 3 or more other areas. Might have a star.
 * Course - An area that contains one or more star (or warp to a Checkerboard). Might lead to one or two other areas.
 * Gateway - An area that directly connects two other areas, itself having no significance.
 * Plot point - Areas that help develop the so-called "plot" of the hack, and don't lead anywhere else (other than, occasionally, wherever they were reached from). Might have a star.
 * Number of stars - The number of stars in the area.
 * Course - The internal course ID the area is located in. If you're unsure what course an area is in, use aglab2's SM64 Star Display to check.
 * Area ID - The internal area ID that the area is located at. Unfortunately, if you don't have an external way to find this (like a list of IDs), you'll have to find this out through trial and error by trying to warp using Star Display. This field is optional.
 * Warp Back? - Whether collecting a star or dying in the area will take you back to its entry point. Typically, this will be "yes" for courses entered via paintings and "no" otherwise. This field is optional.
 * First appearance - The version of B3313 the area first appeared in.

Origins
No particular instruction is necessary here, but if you're at a loss for what to write or how to phrase it, reference other pages on the wiki.

The music is the "Main Theme" track from the vanilla game's OST. Prior to v0.9, the music was the "Inside Castle Walls" track from the same game.

Stars
This area has 4 stars to collect:
 * There is a star behind a grate near the entry of the flowering plateau section.
 * Under the waterfall lake is another star behind a grate.
 * There's a star out on top of a bridge connected to the fortress.
 * At the very top of the structure is a star.

Warps
(These are copied and pasted from other articles for the sake of having examples. Remove this line in a real article.)

Leading here

 * Stellar Tower: The third floor's pipe leads to this area.

Leading away

 * Cozy Woods: Enter the left door in the lobby.

Two-way

 * Hybrid Lobby: Enter the far door in the lobby.

Speaking to the Toad next to the front door:
"'DON'T FORGET TO FORMAT TEXT AS IT IS SEEN IN GAME! THIS MEANS USING ALL CAPS AND COPYING IT EXACTLY AS YOU SEE IT'"

Gallery
(The Gallery should feature landmarks and easily identifiable areas. Not to say there isn't room to be silly, though - feel free to put in a few extras if you have a fun caption to write. Also, try to keep your screenshots clean, readable, and in 4:3! Admittedly that's personal preference, but I just don't see the point of obfuscating a screenshot on a site made for clear documentation... Oh yeah, remove this section in a real article.)

Trivia

 * Make sure your trivia is actually interesting or helpful! Skim through the article and make sure you aren't repeating anything or stating the obvious.
 * All four of the stars here share the same ID; if you collect one, the rest will appear as already collected.
