If formatting the Diablo 3 Archive, please follow these guidelines.
General Guidelines
The intention of this archive is to be a repository for Diablo 3 information, not to steal content from other sites. Therefore, never archive interviews if there is not a chance for the link to rot. Quotes from forums of different kinds should always be archived, as they are highly likely to be unavailable at some point.
Entries
When making entries in the archive, format them like this:
- YYYY-MM-DD. [[Interview: Jay Wilson 2008-06-28|Name(s) of Interviewees]] on a subject of matter.
Do not make the link italic. First the type of link, an Interview, Preview, or the like. Second, use chronological date, 2008-07-22 for instance. Third; a link to the interview, use the name of the interviewee as link text, and use a wiki-link or an external link to the interview, depending on what is available (see General Guidelines above). Fourth, description on what the interview was about. Write the description so that the name and the description form a sentence.
Archiving
When there is a need (see General Guidelines above) to archive an article, interview or quote, use the following standard.
Interviews
In order to sort interview so that it's easy to see who is interviewed and when it was done in the wiki, please use the following format when creating the article:
[[Interview: Author Name YYYY-MM-DD]]
Remember that capitalisation, punctuation and spacing should be just like that. Only replace "YYYY" with the year, "MM" with the month and "DD" with the day. Example:
If multiple interviews were made a given date with a single person, use "a", "b", "c" etc at the end of the date. In the unlikely case there would be more interviews than letters in the alphabet, use "aa", "ab", "ac" etc.
