This article documents the conventions that should be used for mission articles.
Article Naming
All mission articles should go in the Mission namespace. Articles should be named as "Mission:SOURCE - NAME", where SOURCE is the source of mission (explained below) and NAME is the name of the mission (also explained below).
Sources
For the purposes of naming mission articles, there are a number of different sources that a mission might come from.
- For story arcs, task forces, strike forces, and trials, the name of the arc is the source. For example, David Wincott offers a story arc named "Officer Wincott vs. the Trolls". Thus, the source for the missions in that arc is Officer Wincott vs. the Trolls.
- Non-arc missions that are given by a single contact use the name of the contact for the source. For example, Azuria offers a mission named "Find the stolen locket". The source for that mission is Azuria.
- Some missions are given by multiple contacts. For example, the mission "Go to Steel Canyon and stop the Vahzilok lab raids" is offered by Jill Pastor, Kyle Peck, and Tristan Caine. For such missions, the source is always Common.
- Missions received through the Police Radio have a source of Police Radio.
- Missions received through the Rogue Isle Protector (aka Newspaper Missions) have a source of Rogue Isle Protector.
- Safeguard Missions have a source of Detective.
- Mayhem Missions have a source of Broker.
- Missions received through tips have a source of Tip.
Names
For the purposes of naming mission articles, the name of the mission will depend on how the mission is introduced by the game. As the game has evolved, the developers have introduced aspects to missions that provided better naming conventions than older missions.
- Many missions have a title or subtitle provided in the mission's introductory text. In these cases, that title is the name of the mission. For example, Keith Nance offers a mission that starts with the title "Part One: Government Boy". The name of this mission is Part One: Government Boy.
- If the mission does not have such a title, then the mission's name is the green text you click on to accept the mission. For example, Maxwell Christopher offers a mission with acceptance text of "Fight Nemesis Army"; this mission's name is Fight Nemesis Army.
- Tip missions provide a title in the tip mission UI. For example, there is a tip mission offered by the name "The Dagger of Caernoz". That mission's name is The Dagger of Caernoz.
- Newspaper and Police Radio missions use the headline over the mission's description. For example, one of the newspaper missions has a headline of "Aeon Corps Opens New Lab"; that mission's name is Aeon Corps Opens New Lab. However, a lot of missions are templates that use a variety of bosses and enemy groups. For such missions, the specific boss and enemy group is replaced by BOSS or GROUP, respectively. For example, one such headline is "Arachnos seeks Archon Lucretia, leader of the local Council cell"; the name for this mission would be Arachnos seeks BOSS, leader of the local GROUP cell
