* '''Summary:''' Details information about the item that isn't readily conveyed by the standardized templates on the page and don't fit in the other sections - for example the effects of the [[Psychic shock lance]] are not Analysis or Acquisition, nor are they conveyed by the infobox or other information. | * '''Summary:''' Details information about the item that isn't readily conveyed by the standardized templates on the page and don't fit in the other sections - for example the effects of the [[Psychic shock lance]] are not Analysis or Acquisition, nor are they conveyed by the infobox or other information. | ||
* '''Analysis:''' The place for comparison, value judgements, tactics, etc. Comparing the armor of Flak vests to other armor alternatives goes here, strategies for using psychic insanity lances for maximum effect goes here etc. This section can have some overlap with others - a farming strategy for the acquisition of Insect Jelly is a valid subject for example. Discussion about the stats or effects of an item might involve listing them just like Summary does, but is still valid. Subsections should be added as needed for clarity. | * '''Analysis:''' The place for comparison, value judgements, tactics, etc. Comparing the armor of Flak vests to other armor alternatives goes here, strategies for using psychic insanity lances for maximum effect goes here etc. This section can have some overlap with others - a farming strategy for the acquisition of Insect Jelly is a valid subject for example.

* '''Version history:''' Lists a changelog of the pages subject. Changes should be listed as changes i.e. "1.2.2900 - now provides ability to fly" instead of retroactive consideration e.g. "1.2.2900 - prior to this, it didn't allow you to fly". Similarly, if possible and know the exact changes should be listed e.g. "1.2.2900 - Sharp armor increased from 100% -> 150%". Ideally the version number would be specific but this is not always known or possible - do not link to a specific version unless that version is the one that implemented the specific change i.e. don't link 1.1.2258 specifically if all you know is that it was somewhere in 1.1. Ideally the following format should be used, placed in bullet points "<nowiki>*[[Version/<Version Number>|<Version Number>]] - <Change desc> </nowiki>. A gallery of relevant changes may be included at the end - for example showing old textures. | * '''Version history:''' Lists a changelog of the pages subject.
