New page

[[Test Chambers]] are an integral part of each game. Each Test Chamber in [[Portal]] and [[Portal 2]] should have a page dedicated to it and those pages should meet the guidelines outlined on this page.

== Naming conventions ==
Test Chambers are identified by numbers, and within each game there are different test chambers that share a name. For that reason, the following conventions are in place to ensure each Test Chamber gets it's own article:

=== Singleplayer ===
*Test Chamber pages are prefixed with the game they are contained within.
** For example:
***<code>Portal Test Chamber 01</code>
***<code>Portal: Still Alive Test Chamber 01</code> {{n}} This would be a redirect to the above example, as in [[Portal: Still Alive]] the only difference in test chambers is additional ones at the end.
*In the case of [[Portal 2]], or any future Portal game that has ''Acts'' with test chambers per each ''Act'', there is an suffix appended to the game prefix - noting which ''Act'' the test chamber is part of. Refer to the [[Story]] article for a definition of each ''Act''.
**For example:
*** <code>Portal 2 Act 1 Test Chamber 01</code>
*** <code>Portal 2 Act 2 Test Chamber 01</code>
* The numerical identifier of the test chamber should always be double-digits, as they are signage of each test chamber.
=== [[Co-op]] ===
The above [[#Singleplayer|singleplayer]] naming conventions apply to Co-op, with exception to the ''Act'' naming.
* Instead of ''Act'' in the above guidelines, the name will contain the game mode {{n}} Co-op.
* Following the <code>Co-op</code> identifier will be the numerical identifier of the Chapter in which the test chamber is a part of.
** For example:
*** <code>Portal 2 Co-op 1 Test Chamber 1.</code>
*** <code>Portal 2 Co-op 2 Test Chamber 1.</code>
*** <code>Portal 2 Co-op 2 Test Chamber 2.</code>

== Coverage ==
Each Test Chamber page should mention the following things:
* What [[Mechanics]] a user will interact with.
* What [[threats]] a user will interact with.
* What the Test Chamber intends the player to learn, if anything.
** Regarding the [[Story]]
** Or the use of [[Mechanics]]

== Solutions ==
Solutions should '''not''' be mentioned on a Test Chamber's page, but instead should be on a dedicated titled {{code|Solution}}.

For example, the first Test Chamber in [[Portal]] would be at
