FalloutWiki:Developer Statement Archiving

Developer statements are utilized as references within Independent Fallout Wiki articles, providing background information on various topics.

Information
As an additional failsafe against losing sources when websites or forums become inaccessible, the External Link Archiving process is supplemented by the game and project-specific repositories linked here. This process involves uploading a screen capture of the statement and any applicable details to the ongoing lists to safeguard these sources for future use. The format remains consistent across all repositories, with an example provided below.

Upload image
Images can be uploaded on the Special:Upload page. Photos should be named in the following format: "Game + Dev statement + Date.png" (or other allowed formats). For example, "Fallout 76 Dev statement 2022 June 11.png" follows the pattern. In the summary section, add a category, such as " ", changing the game name to reflect if needed. Choose the applicable game from the "licensing" drop-down menu, and then "upload file." The file is now uploaded and ready to use.

Game or project
Navigate to the game or project page that the developer statement relates to. Click on "expand" to see a list of project and game pages below.

Complete template
At the bottom of each developer statement page, a subheader reads "Example template" which can be copy pasted and filled out. Using an exiting entry as a template is also an effective way to complete additions, so long as all new entries are added to the top of the existing list. Any unknown sections, leave blank. The examples below include a blank template and one completed with a developer's statement.

Place reference
After the completed template has been added, the developer statement article can be linked, serving as a reference. The reference will be placed at the end of the sentence one wishes to support with a citation. The following format should be used to accomplish this.
