The Page Guide will show you how the core of the pages should look like.
This is just Work in Progress

Basic Article Setup

This is what a very simple page looks, without any sections besides for the See Also

[[Category:WikiHelp]]
[[File:Image.png|thumb|Picture Description]]

The '''Page Guide''' will show you how the core of the pages should look like.
*You should always add a page to a category even if you have yet to fill it with useful information, this way it will be easy to find later on.
=See Also=
*[[Link|Related Info]]
  1. Categories in first line, so they're easy to find and manage. They always render on the bottom of page.
  2. Image Thumbnail, it is nice having one. The first thumbnail can be big, but rest should be small to avoid clutter.
  3. Introduction, try to describe the page in one sentence if you can, making the first mention of the page title BOLD.
    note: The introduction ends when you add the first section/header for more content.
  4. See Also, is for important related links. It serves its purpose best when using the least amount of links (besides for templates).
    note: Remember that the categories can serve as see also links, (why link to "spells" when it is in "spells" category?).

Setting up New Pages

  1. First read through the "Basic Article Setup"
  2. Then you can make your missing page
    • If it is a individual page of many (such as spells, items or creature)
      1. copy the code layout from a reference page (can view it when you "edit" a page)
      2. paste it on the new page
      3. delete all the old info and replace it with the new.
