This is an incomplete page. More things have yet to be added. Read this regularly and watch out for updates.
These are guidelines for various things including page creation, formats, categories, and terminology.

Page Creation
Edit
We do not use the "Add a Page" button anymore for page creation. Now, we use the Page Creation Portal, a new, easy system for creating new pages that preloads layouts for different types of pages.
Formats
Edit
Section Headings
Edit
The section headings are...
| Name | Input | Result |
| Heading 2 | ==Heading 2==
| Heading 2 |
| Heading 3 | ===Heading 3===
| Heading 3 |
| Heading 4 | ====Heading 4====
| Heading 4 |
| Heading 5 | =====Heading 5=====
| Heading 5 |
Lists
Edit
Writing...
*One *Two *Three
...on a page will make...
- One
- Two
- Three
...appear. That's a bulleted list. To get a numbered list, input the following...
#One #Two #Three
That will give you...
- One
- Two
- Three
Categories
Edit
Categories are a huge way for a user to find your article. Categorize pages with relevant categories. You can find pages without any categories at Special:UncategorizedPages. Please note that when you add a category to a page for the first time, you must create that category's page. Click the category link and then edit that page.
Grammar
Edit
Bad Grammar Makes You Look Lazy.That's Stuff Like CAPITALIZING EVERYTHING,Capitalizing The First Letter Of Each Word,Misusing Apostrophe's,Etc. then theres not using any punctuation or capital letters and mispeling evrything
All the above was an example of bad grammar. One unmentioned point is using numbers and single letters for everything. (Like "Did u get something 4 him?") Would it kill you to type, and therefor look, like someone who cares whether or not they get a "bad-grammar reputation"?
Terminology and Spelling of Aliens, Characters, Etc.
Edit
One thing that so many people get wrong is the spelling and terminology of things. In fact, the list of correct spellings is on a subpage.
