	Trivia sections are a common tool to convey information relevant to a topic, which could be interesting, but does not fit elsewhere on a page. Trivia sections are allowed on the Red Faction Wiki, but should not be used as a "catch all" for information that would be better presented elsewhere. Before putting anything in a page's trivia section, you should try to fit it into the body of the page. If it truly doesn't fit anywhere else, put it in the trivia section.

			===Bold Page Names===
			The first time the page's name is mentioned in the article (which will typically be in the introduction), it must be bolded. If the topic the page is focused on has a more specific name than the name of the page, bold the entire specific name.
			:: Example: The introduction on the [[Rocket Launcher]] page has "'''URL-6T Ultor Tactical Rocket Launcher'''" bolded.

			==Guiding Principles==
			The '''Red Faction Wiki''' endevours to be the internet's most extensive source of accurate and reliable information pertaining to the Red Faction series and universe.

			Broadly, the wiki should cover all of the below groups of information:
			*'''Series/universe lore and canon''': Accurate, verified information void of speculation to the greatest extent possible. Where any amount of speculation is necessary to effectively convey a subject, it '''must''' be clearly identified as such, and never stated as fact.
			*'''Technical information''': Tutorials, editor documentation, file format documentation, etc. - essentially anything a person might need to know if they're curious about the game at a technical level, or wish to create custom content for it.
