Out of universe content

More out of universe articles may be created, however they must be strongly related to Ratchet & Clank. Each individual article's relevance to be discussed on the talk page of each article as necessary.

In Tools of Destruction...
Edit
- Clarified that when writing in-universe articles "Make sure that you write the articles from Ratchet's view (in-universe) and in the past tense, keep gaming tips to a separate section." (manual of style)
- Game names are to be used for third level headings in biography sections where appropriate, but in paragraphs game names are not to be used. Fourth level headings can be storyline sections. Also sections that are not specific to a particular game have their own heading. For example (Nefarious article used):
==Biography== ===life as an organic being=== ===UYA=== ====Sub-plot in UYA====
