Overview
For the purpose of providing examples, hypothetical games will be known as The Legend of Zelda: Mystical Seed of Courage or MSoC for short. When following these actions, be sure to replace the titles and initialisms with their proper equivalents.

Procedure

Create a game code template for the game's initialism (such as Template:MSoC for Mystical Seed of Courage) using Template:Franchise/Game. For the logo field, enter the filename that you intend to use for step 5.
Add the game to the Main Page.
Move any potential game page to the new name. These may be articles with temporary names based on the console it is set to release on. (The Breath of the Wild article was known as Zelda Wii U prior to the announcement of its official title.) If no page yet exists, create a new one with Template:Infobox Game.
Go to the Preloads section of the game template you created in step 1 (e.g. Template:EoW#Preloads). Follow the instructions there to create listings pages and game-related categories.
Upload a logo for the game, such as File:MSoC English Logo.png.
Add the game to Template:Games.
Go to Data:Franchise, add the game to the list using Template:Franchise/Store Game.
Add an entry for the game on Data:Translations.
