Hello everyone!

I've recently been surfing the wiki again after being inactive for a while, and I've been really proud of our current progress. We have almost removed all article stubs, added to content for levels, beautified the layout of the wiki – and we are almost ready for the new levels coming out in Update 2.0!

I’m writing this due to a few finishing touches that I think that we need for the levels and updates pages in general. Has anyone noticed the introductions – the top part of each levels pages? It is very sloppy and inconsistent with each other. If we take a look at other wikis, including Wikipedia, The Big Bang Theory Wiki, Plants vs. Zombies Wiki, Candy Crush Saga Wiki, etc., each seems to have a consistent introduction starting each page. This is what we need. Stereo Madness and Back on Track, Update 1.1 and Update 1.2 aren’t even similar to each other right now! I feel that they are poorly written and needs some attention.

Sure, it is only the top few sentences of each page, but please remember that the top of each page represents how good the content is on the rest of the page. As we are writing multiple pages on the same series of levels, I only find it logical to come up with a plan to fix these pages and keep them consistent in the future. How do you suggest we make these introductions consistent and more organized? I’m suggesting the following introductions that will replace the more sloppy ones we have. Please let me know in the comments section how you think about them.

 Levels Introduction Draft [Page Title] is the [ordinal number] level on Geometry Dash [and Geometry Dash Lite/unlocked by collecting [number] secret coins]. It is the [ordinal number] level to be rated [difficulty] as of [Update number]. [This level is commonly recognized as one of the hardest official levels in normal mode, the other[s] [one] being [Level name(s)].

 Updates Introduction Draft [Page Title] was the [ordinal number] major update to Geometry Dash released on [spell out date]. Its main additions were the new level(s), [level name(s)], along with [icons, achievements, the introduction of secret coins, map packs, etc.]. The new level(s) itself/themselves introduces [plural portal name, other important feature], which [insert function].

Again, please let me know how these new introductions are so I can get started on replacing them writing away! Thanks for your time, and Happy Geometry Dashing!
