Contributing to Wavu Wiki is as simple as going ahead and doing it. Reading this page and others like it is recommended, but not required. If you think something should be added or changed, just do it.

Unless specified otherwise, Wavu Wiki defers to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Scope

Wavu Wiki is a game guide for Tekken. Its goal is to be the definitive source of knowledge for how to play the game. Anything related to Tekken's lore, art, development, or community is within scope but not the primary focus. Anything else is out of scope.

As this wiki describes the game, the main source of truth is the game itself. Any dispute over game mechanics can be resolved with video recordings from the game, supplemented by tools such as TekkenBot and TekkenOverlay.

Style

Keep it short and get to the point. A page which says something in 5 sentences is usually better than another which says it in 10. Respect the reader's time.

Videos

Pages should make liberal use of videos. A single, short clip can add substantial clarity to otherwise dry text. See Snake Edge for an example. Tekken is a visual game, so most pages without visuals are missing something important.

Videos should—

  • Like the text, be short and to the point, usually between 2 to 5 seconds. Anything longer than that is probably lacking in focus.
  • Contain only what they mean to communicate, and nothing more. For example, File:Kuma-Lee-wall-D4444.mp4 starts at the wall combo rather than at the wall splat, since the splat itself is not relevant to the video.
  • Usually not contain anything beyond a raw recording of game visuals. Any supplemental notes or annotations should be in the page text itself.

See Wavu:Videos for technical details on recording videos for this wiki.

Color

Color should be used sparingly. Its main use is to make reading large tables easier and to communicate something visually in a figure.

Wavu Wiki has a dark mode, which depends on every use of color indicating its behavior in both light and dark mode. As such, any use of color should be done through the color classes defined in MediaWiki:Common.css.

If color communicates something not communicated otherwise, add the "pattern" class to aid color blind readers.
