This namespace is for including information about how to use your content in games.

Articles in this top-level namespace won't generally have any sort of game statistics. Rather, the details would go in a subspace within the Game namespace. There are currently six subspaces, each further divided into lower-level subspaces for specific games:

Game:RPG
Role-playing games
Game:CCG
Customizable card games
Game:War
Miniatures games and other war games
Game:Board
Board games
Game:Card
Card games (other than CCGs)
Game:Dice
Dice games

You don't have to create an article in the Game main namespace to create an article in a subspace. However, it is recommended that you do so, because if you don't then the tabs for subspace articles won't show up. The main Game page for your article doesn't have to go into detail, and may for instance say only what subspaces currently have content.

Once you've written an article on the Public Wongery, you can create a Game page for that article by using the searchbox to search for "Game:((your article name))", and then clicking the link to create the page. For example, if you have an article called "Wallacio the Bleak", then you can create a Game page for that article by just typing in "Game:Wallacio the Bleak". (There's a more user-friendly way of creating these pages in the works, but the search-box method is a workaround for now.) The same method works to create articles within the subspaces for specific types of game, or specific games; to continue our example, you could create an RPG page for Wallacio the Bleak by typing "Game:RPG:Wallacio the Bleak", and a page for the character's GURPS statistics by typing "Game:RPG:GURPS:Wallacio the Bleak".
