I am posting this here because I think it calls for more attention than a blog post and is important to have around, as blog posts get pushed down over time. I would like to propose this as the official format for level pages.

Rolento created a blog a couple of days ago addressing the problem with how inconsistent many level pages are with their summary paragraphs. We have both decided it's best to stick to the same format just for consistancy reasons. I assume many of them are different because different people edit differently. I took the format Rolento used to express how it should be done and used it to show how we agreed upon how it should be done.

The following is what Rolento, others and myself have agreed is the best format for the opening paragraph for level pages.

Jelly levelsEdit
Level [#] is the (number) level in [episode name], the (number) level overall and the (number) jelly level. To pass this level, you must clear [number] jelly squares and score at least [number] points in [number] moves or less. When you have extra moves left in this level, Sugar Crush will activate Jelly Fish to eat candies and score you additional points.

Example:

Level 382 is the second level in Licorice Tower, the three hundred and eighty-second level overall and the one hundred and sixty-second jelly level. To pass this level, you must clear 21 jelly squares and score at least 45,000 points in 40 moves or less. When you have extra moves left in this level, Sugar Crush will activate Jelly Fish to eat candies and score you additional points.

Ingredient Drop levels

Level [#] is the (number) level in [episode name], the (number) level overall and the (number) ingredients level. To pass this level, you must bring down [(#) hazelnuts and/or (#) cherries] and score at least [number] points in [number] moves or less. When you have extra moves in this level, Sugar Crush will activate Striped Candy and score you additional points.

Example:

Level 288 is the thirteenth level in Candy Clouds, the two hundred and eighty-eighth level overall and the seventy-third ingredients level. To pass this level, you must bring down 2 hazelnuts and 2 cherries and score at least 40,000 points in 55 moves or less. When you have extra moves in this level, Sugar Crush will activate Striped Candy and score you additional points.

Candy Order levelsEdit
Level [number] is the ??? level in [episode name], the (number) level overall and the (number) candy order level. To pass this level, you must collect [number and colour and/or combinations] candies and score at least [number] points in [number] moves. When you have extra moves in this level, Sugar Crush will activate Striped Candy and score you additional points.

Example:

Level 141 is the first level in Gingerbread Glade, the one hundred and forty-first level overall and the eleventh candy order level. To pass this level, you must collect 30 blue, green and purple candies and score at least 10,000 points in 24 moves or less. When you have extra moves in this level, Sugar Crush will activate Striped Candy and score you additional points.

Timed levelsEdit
Level [number] is the ??? level in [episode name], the (number) level overall and the (number) timed level. To pass this level, you must score at least [number] points within [number] seconds/minutes. When time runs out, Sugar Crush will first activate all special candies, and then turn +5 candies into Wrapped Candy and activate them.

Example:

Level 108 is the thirteenth level in Salty Canyon, the one hundred and eighth level overall and the tenth timed level. To pass this level, you must score at least 14,000 points within 2 minutes. hen time runs out, Sugar Crush will first activate all special candies, and then turn +5 candies intoWrapped Candy and activate them.

Moves levelsEdit
Level [number] is the ??? level in [episode name], the (number) level overall and the (number) moves level. To pass this level, you must score at least [number] points in [number] moves. When there are no more moves left, Sugar Crush will activate all special candies and score you additional points.

Example:

Level 122 is the twelfth level in Peppermint Palace, the one hundred and twenty-second level overall and the thirteenth moves level. To pass this level, you must score at least 40,000 points in 35 moves. When there are no more moves left, Sugar Crush will activate all special candies and score you additional points.

Edit
I say this because it's good to keep things organized. I feel it's redundant to say "is the  xxxxx level in candy crush saga" as we all know it's this game. That's why I replace it with "overall."

Plus, saying "must" instead of "should" is important because you have to complete the tasks you're told to to complete the level, it isn't a "should" or "shouldn't" situation.

This keeps it organized and also, it flows. For example, "...sixty-second jelly level. To pass this level you must clear 21 jelly squares and etc..."

This way, people know it is a certain level type by finishing the first sentence but without choppy sentences like, "It is a jelly level."

I try to always do it this way when I edit pages because I feel it looks the nicest and sums up the general information quickly and neatly. I think the way you proposed is too choppy and some of it is unnecessary."

If you make very slight alterations here and there it's not a big deal but I believe having continuity between levels and their setups for their first paragraphs is important and neat on our part. If you want you can always go to the later levels (I have edited levels 486-500 in this format) and see it and copy the format when doing another level.

Rolento and I thank you and no one has to go out of their way to change every level but if you are ever editing a level page and feel like it, feel free to change it to this format. I hope everyone's alright with this, as I feel it would only benefit us in small but appreciative ways.
