Ideally, when referring to a specific person, either masculine or feminine pronouns should be used, but "they" is also fine if the person's gender is unknown or if they want to be referred to that way.

When introducing a player in their article, they should probably be mentioned in the present-tense, not the past-tense, even if they don't play anymore.

Here, "former player" shouldn't be used because he had been playing since he died; if he had quit before then (thus being known as a former player before dying) then "former player" should be used. Additionally, a player's real-world death should be described using words such as "unfortunate" to show empathy.

== Images ==

Ideally, convert images to webp to save space.

== Misc ==

When listing off player names, use the current player's username. If they are inactive and were only known under another username, put that username in parentheses next to the current username.

Some players, particularly ones who have pages on the wiki, are exempt; you can simply use the name they're commonly referred to as, as long as you hyperlink to their page.

For an alt account, put the account username and then the main account (or wiki link) in parentheses.
