Line 1: {{Policy\|guideline}}{{MoS navigation}} ~~{{Project sidebar\|Sim}}~~ On The Sims Wiki there are a few rules of style that will help this place run smoothly and create a standard feel to all of our articles. In addition to [[The Sims Wiki:Manual of Style]], articles related to Sim biographies should follow these style guidelines. Here are a few specifically regarding, feel free to discuss anything on the [[{{TALKPAGENAME}}\|talk page]] or at [[Forum:Sim Page Standardization]]. Line 29: {{Main\|Template:Sim\|:Category:Bio templates}} === Which infobox template to use === Sim articles use infobox templates based on {{T\|Infobox Sim}}. The specific infobox template to use depends on which game(s) a Sim appears in. Use these templates in the following cases: * {{T\|Infobox Sim1}} for ''[[The Sims]]'' Sims (and its expansion packs or downloadable content), as well as Sims from [[The Sims Bustin' Out (console)\|The Sims Bustin' Out]]. * {{T\|Infobox Sim2}} for ''[[The Sims 2]]'' Sims (and its expansion packs or downloadable content), as well as Sims from [[The Sims Stories]] series. * {{T\|Infobox Urb}} for Sims appearing in ''[[The Urbz: Sims in the City]]'', on any game platform. * {{T\|Infobox Sim3}} for ''[[The Sims 3]]'' Sims (and its expansion packs or downloadable content). * {{T\|Infobox medsim}} for ''[[The Sims Medieval]]'' Sims. * {{T\|Infobox Sim4}} for ''[[The Sims 4]]'' Sims (and its expansion packs, game packs, or downloadable content). # If ~~the~~a Sim ~~only~~ appears in ~~one game use {{T\|Sim1}}, {{t\|Urb}} {{T\|Sim2}},~~multiple ~~{{T\|Unisim}}~~games, ~~{{T\|Sim3}}~~include ormultiple ~~{{T\|Sim4}}~~infoboxes. ~~# If the Sim appears in more than one game use: {{T\|Simbio-start}} and {{T\|Simbio-end}}, with at least two of the following in between: {{T\|Simbio1}}, {{T\|Simbio2}}, {{T\|Simbio3}} or {{T\|Simbio4}}.~~ === When to use the "state" parameter === Line 40 ⟶ 46: === Ambiguous genders or ages === If a Sim's apparent gender or age conflicts with game data (as determined by [[Package editor#SimPE\|SimPE]] or other software), the Sim's age or gender should be given as 'ambiguous'. This will categorize the article into [[:Category:Sims with an ambiguous gender]]/[[:Category:Sims with an ambiguous age]]. Note that this guideline is different from the prior method of handling these situations. This change is based off [[Forum:Male or female?\|this discussion]]. === Playable vs. Resurrectable === Line 57 ⟶ 64: {{Main\|:Category:Resurrection templates}} Resurrection templates add information about how the Sim can be ~~resurrected~~brought back to life (if at all) and links to step-by-step instructions if necessary. These templates also generate the correct Resurrection category. * If the Sim can be resurrected using in-game mechanics use {{t\|Resurrect-in-game}}.
