: E.g. {{Color|limegreen|Entity swap tutorial}}, not {{Color|red|Entity Swap Tutorial}}).
 
If the topic is something that is relevant to one game in particular, put the article in the namespace for that game. For instance, if you are making an article for a game mechanic in Sly 1, put the article in the Sly 1 namespace. That just means putting <code>Sly 1:</code> at the front of the article title.
If the subject exists in one game, you don't need to add the game in parenthesis after the title.
:* Ee.g. TheIf [[LOCK]]you dataat structuree iswriting onlyabout usedthe CM struct in Sly 1, so you would name the article {{colorColor|limegreen|LOCKSly 1:CM}}, not just {{colorColor|red|LOCKCM}} or {{Color|red|CM (Sly 1)}}. If you are writing about the CM struct in Sly 2, name the article {{Color|limegreen|Sly 2:CM}}.
 
If you are documenting something that uses the same name in multiple games, you don't need to add the game name in parenthesis after the title if it is the first article with that name; just make it clear in the article which game you are writing about. However, if it is not the first article with that name, include the game name in parenthesis and rename the existing page to also include the game name.
: E.g. If you are writing about the CM struct in Sly 1, but there is no CM article for Sly 2 or Sly 3, just name the article ''CM''.
: E.g. If you're writing about the JT struct in Sly 2 and there is already an article named JT for Sly 1, name the new article '''JT (Sly 2)''' and rename the old article to '''JT (Sly 1)'''.
