## Page Formatting

*im gonna finish this later because i doubt it's getting read lol*

Some tips for all pages:

1. Always cite your sources.
2. A few citations is better then one.
3. Link relevant wiki articles from this wiki, other Fandom wikis, and Wikipedia.

Please read existing pages and try your best to conform to the formatting established by those pages. Below are the guidelines for each specific type of page. If you want to make a type of page that is not listed here, please reach out to me first. Please read thoroughly as you edit, and thank you for your help!

Under each of the following types of pages are sub-sections. Each sub-section (except for "Top of page", "Infobox", and "Additional Pictures"), is the name of the a heading for that type of page. Create the headings in the order listed in these guidelines.
