Work Featured Article Status
Last attempt was made on October 2005. The article is listed as a Good article as of July 2014.
MTG sets
The goal is to create comprehensive articles on every Magic set. Each article should touch on the following points:
- Overview – the set's theme and major points of interest; infobox template (see Useful templates below)
- Set history – some interesting facts and history on the set
- its design and development
- Mechanics – something about the set's specific keywords and mechanics
- Set storyline – a summary of the storyline told in the flavor text and relevant novels
- Set Reception – how the set was received after release including:
- Notable cards – which cards were the most sought after by the tournament and casual players around the world, cards with jaw-dropping rules and so on. Please include a reference as to why the card is notable. Some suggested sites to use as references:
- Related links – must have a link to the official Wizards page on that set
NOTE: Most pages violate
MTG players
If a Magic player meets any of the following criteria proposed the Wikiproject Magic: The Gathering suggests that the player has achieved a notability within the game that justifies an article in the Wikipedia. A player may achieve notability in other ways. The general notability criteria of Wikipedia always take precedence.
- The player is a member of the Magic: The Gathering Hall of Fame;
- The player has earned 200 lifetime Pro Tour Points or more;
- The player has won the player of the year title;
- The player has won two or more Pro Tours;
- The player has reached the top eight of a Pro Tour five times or more. (Top four of a team Pro Tour counts as a top eight.)
Each player article should contain the following information:
- Vital stats – nationality, DOB, etc.
- Winnings – number of wins, notable wins, $ won, pro points
- Player card – cards that the player has designed as a result of winning
MTG fiction
When creating an article on a character, species, or location be careful of original research and
