Combining the lore and gameplay information for a unit may result in a large and unwieldy article. To prevent this it may be advantageous to create separate lore and gameplay articles. This page deals with writing gameplay unit articles.
This page has a counterpart dealing with writing unit lore articles.
The following are not all the possible sections that may or must be included. This must be determined on a case-by-case basis.
Article name[]
The name for a unit gameplay article is the name of the unit followed by a unique identifier string based on the name of the game being examined. For example:
- Marine (StarCraft)
- Marine (StarCraft II)
Linking to gameplay articles[]
Use Template:Link to create inline links. For example:
{{link|marine|SC1}}
generates
marine
See the template for additional documentation.

Affix Template:Game to the top of each article. See the template for documentation and usage examples.

Additional images may be appended to a small gallery near the end of the article. A link to the unit's image category may accompany the gallery.
For general image usage guidelines, see Help:Images.
References[]
All articles should include a References section at the bottom. This may be done by adding the following code:
- ==References==
- <references/>
or
- {{ref}}
or for pages with lots of references
- <div style="height:200px;width:100%;overflow:auto;"> {{reflist|2}} </div>
Claims on the utility of strategies should be sourced. One possible way is to reference gameplay videos from online repositories such as YouTube.
