'''How to contribute to Game UI Wiki'''

This wiki is an open archive of game user interface screenshots. Anyone can help it grow!

== Getting started ==

# '''[[Special:CreateAccount|Create an account]]''' and confirm your email address.
# After 1 day, your account is fully confirmed and you can create new pages.
# That's it — start adding screenshots!

== Adding a new game ==

# Go to the search bar and type the name of the game you want to add.
# If no page exists, click '''"Create the page"''' in the search results.
# Copy the structure from [[Template:Game/Preload]] and paste it into the editor.
# Fill in the gallery sections with your screenshots.
# Add the correct '''categories''' at the top of the page (platform + genre).
# Click '''Publish''' when you're done.

== Uploading screenshots ==

* Use the '''Upload file''' link in the sidebar, or drag and drop images while editing (if supported).
* Name your files clearly: <code>GameName_SectionName.png</code> (e.g., <code>BaldursGate3_MainMenu.png</code>).
* Accepted formats: PNG, JPG, GIF.
* Max upload size: 100 MB.

== Page structure ==

Every game page should follow a consistent layout. The standard sections are:

* '''Frontend''' — Title screen, main menu, login
* '''Loading''' — Loading screens and transitions
* '''Settings''' — All settings menus (video, audio, controls, accessibility)
* '''HUD''' — In-game heads-up display
* '''Menus''' — Full-screen in-game menus (inventory, map, quests, skill trees)
* '''Modal''' — Popups, dialogs, confirmations
* '''Credits''' — Credits screen

You don't need all sections — just add what's relevant to the game. Feel free to add extra sections (e.g., Photo Mode, Dialogue, Multiplayer) if the game has unique UI features.

== Categories ==

Add categories to your page so it can be found. Common categories:

'''Platform:''' PC, Console, Mobile, Steam Deck, Roblox

'''Genre:''' RPG, FPS, Simulation, MMO, Survival, Open World

'''UI Features:''' HUD, Settings, Inventory, Map, Dialogue, Photo Mode, Crafting, Skill Tree

See [[Special:Categories|all categories]] for the full list.

== Tips ==

* Take screenshots at the highest resolution you can.
* Try to capture every screen and menu state — the more complete, the better.
* Don't worry about being perfect. Other contributors can always add more later.
