Guidelines:Media Order

The media order policy of Megami Tensei Wiki outlines how media titles should be ordered in sections.

General

Because of its vastness and high frequency of recurring elements, Megami Tensei Wiki adopts a particular order for how series and media titles within the Megami Tensei franchise should be ordered in page sections and lists. This is meant to keep pages organized and intuitive when searching for particular content.

Megami Tensei Wiki orders media titles first by series release order, followed by their own game release order. The series order looks like,

Digital Devil Story: Megami Tensei series
Shin Megami Tensei series
Last Bible series
Majin Tensei series
Devil Summoner series
Persona series
Devil Children series
Digital Devil Saga series
Devil Survivor series

Within this order, media titles are ordered by their own release date order. For example: the demon Lucifer, who has appeared across many Megami Tensei series, would have his Gameplay sections ordered as:

==Gameplay==
===''Digital Devil Story: Megami Tensei''===
===''Digital Devil Story: Megami Tensei II''===
===''Shin Megami Tensei''===
===''Shin Megami Tensei II''===
===''Shin Megami Tensei: if...''===
===''Shin Megami Tensei: Nine''===
===''Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne''===
===''Shin Megami Tensei IV''===
===''Shin Megami Tensei IV: Apocalypse''===
===''Shin Megami Tensei V''===
===''Last Bible''===
===''Last Bible II''===
And so on...

Exceptions

While the order defined above should generally be kept to for most pages, there may be certain exceptions where breaking the order would be more beneficial for a subject. For example: a character like Raidou Kuzunoha XIV, who has a more prominent role in the Devil Summoner series and a cameo role in Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne Maniax, would see more benefit having his Game Appearances section ordered as:

==Game Appearances==
===''Devil Summoner: Raidou Kuzunoha vs. the Soulless Army''===
===''Devil Summoner: Raidou Kuzunoha vs. King Abaddon''===
===''Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne''===

This order prioritizes the character's lead appearances and the sections that most readers will be looking for, as opposed to the above standard order that would ordinarily list Nocturne Maniax first.
