Categories
While categories can be tedious at times it's best to view the larger picture and define this first rather than later. Note: Images can (and should!) also be categorized to ensure they a) are easily searchable and b) don't show up under Special:UncategorizedFiles.
[[Category:WIKINAME Wiki]] should be the 'Root' the main category, this is normally already generated for you although if it hasn't been generated, generate one.
Example of category setup:
WIKINAME Wiki WIKINAME Wiki -> Weapons WIKINAME Wiki -> Items
If your game features one game but you see the wiki expanding to new title or a sequel, future proof the wiki by making it more organized and separate content by game. If the Wiki has multiple games:
WIKINAME Wiki WIKINAME Wiki -> Game 1 -> Weapons in Game 1 WIKINAME Wiki -> Game 2 -> Weapons in Game 2 WIKINAME Wiki -> Weapons -> Weapons by Game
WIKINAME Wiki -> Game 1 -> Items in Game 1 WIKINAME Wiki -> Game 2 -> Items in Game 2 WIKINAME Wiki -> Items -> Items by Game
