Kerbal Space Program 2 Wiki:Manual of Style/Data

The following are guidelines for various aspects of writing data pages in the Data: namespace, established by consensus among KSP 2 Wiki editors. Please discuss them on the talk page if you have ideas or questions. Editors should also be familiar with the main Manual of Style.

Function

Data pages contain JSON-formatted information on particular entities. The Page content model in the Basic information section of the page's Page information display must be set to JSON, which is enabled by default for the Data: namespace.

Naming conventions

Data articles are to be titled explicitly per their respective subject, e.g. Data:IX-6315 "Dawn", Data:PPD-20 "Wayfarer", Data:Kerbin, Data:Laythe, et cetera.

Layout

Parts

The proper layout of part data is as follows:

• Name
• Caption
• Mass
• Size
• Maximum temperature
• Impact tolerance
• Stores research
• Resources
• Manufacturer
• Part type
  • Part type params
• Part modules
  • Part module elements
    • Part module element params
