Traits page standardization
As Duskey said on Talk:List of Traits, there should be some standards for the Traits articles. Below is an example of the (rough) standard I've been using:

 Trait A is a  trait in  .  and is available at (if this information is not available or not known by me, I leave it blank)>

The in-game Trait description is here, italicized




 * List of Trait attributes


 * Most are taken from in-game text




 * Skill (bolded if the skill is directly related to the moodlet)




 * Most of these are a stab in the dark



Examples of  Sims: List of example Sims, linked to their articles.

I've also been inserting, between the lifetime wish and example sims, a list of 1 or 2 related traits, though only in the last few articles I've made (Green Thumb, Loves The Outdoors).

I've added each article to two categories... the first is the Traits category, the second is the category corresponding to the trait, example "Sims with Green Thumbs" or "Snobs".

So...what do we want to adopt as a standard? LostInRiverview 07:39, June 13, 2010 (UTC)
 * Yes! Attributes that's the word we can use for the ingame text. I noticed A morris added "Unlocked interaction" to some traits which I like. I'm also quite prone to adding "Player notes" or something along those lines, though we could call that "Behaviours". Duskey 07:45, June 13, 2010 (UTC)
 * Agreed, I think 'Attributes' is a good word for both situations. The reason I've avoided using "unlocked interaction" is because it's sometimes hard to classify what is an interaction... maybe I'm splitting hairs. I like the idea of Player Notes - it can be put in when a player has a comment that wasn't part of the original in-game text. I'm going to buzz through the articles and change 'Behavior' to 'Attributes' where it exists. LostInRiverview 07:50, June 13, 2010 (UTC)
