This is a general outline for each type of page on LGSMC Wiki, designed to make pages easier to read and reduce clutter. Please follow this outline!

Basic headers

All pages should have these two headers unless where otherwise stated.

Overview:

Should contain a general description that would give a reader a basic idea of the page. Coordinates for locations go here. Note: you do not need to write "Overview:" as a header; you can just start the page with this section.

History:

Can be changed to "Life" for players.

Additional headers

These should be used where applicable, depending on the category of the page in question. Nonconforming headers may be changed to ones on this list (such as using "diplomatic relations" instead of "diplomacy"). If you have a unique header idea, please ask an admin to add it below!

Note: headers should be alphabetized as they are on this list.
