Wikitroid:Projects/Room Navigation Project

This is the page for the Room Navigation Project, an effort to improve the coverage of rooms from the Metroid series on Wikitroid. Below is an explanation of such rooms.

Description
Rooms are lesser locations in each area of each game in the series. They connect to each other by different door types, be it Blue (which is the most common of all), a Red Blast Shield or a Multi-Lock Blast Shield.

Rooms are only named in the maps in the Prime Series. They are not named at all in Metroid, Metroid II: Return of Samus, Super Metroid, Metroid Fusion or Metroid: Zero Mission. Due to this, and Wikitroid's policies on fan names, pages for rooms in these five games will not be created.

However, every room in the Prime Series (including Metroid Prime Hunters, although rooms in the Oubliette and certain hallways used to connect rooms with one another are not named) is named. Regardless of how Samus Aran finds these names, from a Map Room or by naming them the minute she walks into a room, our task is to document them to the greatest detail so as to make the documentation on these rooms complete.

Rules and regulations

 * Only rooms from Metroid Prime, Metroid Prime 2: Echoes, Metroid Prime 3: Corruption and Metroid Prime Hunters are allowed. All rooms for other games will be deleted on sight unless a name can be found. The appearance of the map suggests that Metroid: Other M rooms will be named, but for now this is uncertain.
 * We highly encourage a description for rooms on features. This is not required, but if a room can be described in a way, then we suggest it.
 * If you do not add images to a room, then add to the top of the article.

What a room typically looks like
(if images are not added to the article)

(room name) is a room in the (area) in (game). (description)

Connecting rooms
Here, rooms that connect are added.
 * (room name) (via (door/blast shield)*)

Inhabitants

 * 2 (enemy)
 * 5 (enemy) (after (event)**)

Items
Typically, code for item descriptions can go like this:


 * (item):(description on how to get item)

Scans
A new section being added to rooms is for the scans inside of it. These are scans that cannot be added to the Logbook as well as Lore. Creatures and Research (unless an entry in the latter category is exclusive to that room) are not required.

(an optional trivia section if there is a notable fact)

At the bottom, a template is to be placed. The templates are: Metroid Prime rooms, Light MP2 rooms, Dark MP2 rooms, Olympus rooms, Norion rooms, Bryyo rooms, Elysia rooms, Pirate rooms, Valhalla rooms, Phaaze rooms and Hunters rooms.

Under the template, in the categories section, here are categories that are to be added:
 * Rooms
 * Whatever area the room is in
 * Rooms containing (item) in (game)
 * Elevators (if the room contains an elevator or is merely an elevator shaft)
 * Landing Sites (for rooms where Samus' gunship is placed)
 * Beam Ammo Expansion Rooms (if the room is in Echoes and has a beam ammo expansion in it)
 * Dark Portals/Light Portals (if the room is in Echoes and has a Dark/Light Portal in it)
 * Rooms containing Energy Cells (if the room is in Corruption and has an Energy Cell)
