Games pages are pages in Category:Games. They provide information on any particular video game that a Yogscast member has played, supported or been a part of.

| Article management notices | Article management templates are used if you notice that there is an issue with the article and you want to bring it to the attention of other editors. If the issue affects the whole article, place it at the very top. If the issue affects only a section, place it directly below the heading of the section. This section should not have a heading.
For a list of article management notices, please see Yogscast Wiki:Templates or Category:Article management templates. | ||
| Lead section | The lead section, also known as introductory paragraphs, are several sentences that should provide an overview of the game. It should provide the game title, companies that developed and published the game, when the game was released and which platforms it was released on. This section should not have a heading.
The first mention of the game title should be bolded. | ||
| Table of contents | The table of contents (TOC) will automatically appear in articles with a minimum of four headings, just above the first headline. This behaviour can be changed by using __TOC__ or __NOTOC__. __TOC__ forces a table of contents to appear wherever it is placed in an article, no matter how many headlines the article has. __NOTOC__ results in no table of contents ever being shown. This section should not have a heading.

| In-Yogiverse | This paragraph should outline what makes this game belong in the Yogscast Wiki. It should have a list that mentions any Yogscast members that have played the game, or how the Yogscast are related to the game. If there are more than five members, an unordered list using * can be used to separate each member.
| ||
| Episode Guide | This paragraph should contain a table listing all videos and playthroughs of the game. Each episode should have a link to the YouTube video and, if available, the Yogscast.com video. It is advised to use Template:Episodes (documentation). This section should only exist if there have been videos played by Yogscast members. | ||
| Tail content | |||
| Gallery | If an article contains a lot of images, such as relevant game thumbnails, it is often better to place them in an own gallery section than to have them clutter the article. If it is a single game cover, it should be placed under Banners. Please see Help:Gallery on how to use galleries. | ||
| References | If an article uses references, place <references/> directly under the heading. If the article uses many references, use Template:References.
| ||
| Navboxes | Navboxes are navigational aids which allow easy access to other articles in a group the current article belongs to. They should be placed if an appropriate navbox is available for the article.
A list of navboxes can be found in Category:Navbox templates. If there are many articles with the same navigation, a new navbox can be created using Template:Navbox. | ||
| Categories | Categories should be added at the very end of an article. A full list of categories can be found on Special:Categories. For additional information, please see the categorization guidelines. | ||
