Guide: Creating a Sylvaneth Wargrove

This guide is meant to help people looking to make a Sylvaneth Wargrove. This page is not a description of rules, and does not teach you how to actually post your article. If you have something written and it has already been formatted, you can go to the guide on posting an article to see how to put your homebrew out for the world to enjoy.

Different folks need different levels of guidance when writing an article, and so this guide will first look at formatting, then go deeper into ideas and things to consider about creating a wargrove. There are other guides available at the Writing Guides Portal, some of which offer advice for specific factions, but some offer advice for writing in general and are worth a look.

## Formatting

To be properly formatted, your article needs to meet our Article Quality Policy, should be divided into sections as appropriate, and should contain an infobox.

### Sections

Every wiki article of any substantial length is broken into headings and sub-headings. These are used to break the article up into manageable, reasonable chunks, and to create the table of contents which appears at the beginning of each page. Headings are created by surrounding a line of text with two equal signs. Sub-headings use three equal signs, and further sub-headings involve more equal signs.

Below is a suggested format for the sections in a Sylvaneth Wargrove article. You are not required to use these headings, feel free to add or remove headings as best fits your army, but looking through the headings and seeing if you have at least a few paragraphs to say about each topic can help you make sure your article is decently complete and not a stub. To use these headings, just copy the thing below, then start typing in the lines between the headings, and it will come out great.

==Overview==

==History==

===Origins===

===Notable Conflicts===

===Current Status===

==Home Forest==

==Equipment==

===Weapons and Armor===

===Special Equipment===

===Relics===

==Organization==

==Tactics==

==Notable Characters==

==Relations==

===Allies===

===Enemies===

If you already have a homebrew written, the easiest way to get it into wiki format is to create headings and subheadings like what is shown here. If there are sections left blank after you have written everything, you can take this as either a creative writing prompt to further flesh out your warband when posting, or just remove the blank headers if they don't properly apply to your wargrove.

### Infobox

Every article needs to include an infobox, which appears on the side of your article and summarizes the key information while also looking extremely spiffy. Each page should only have one infobox

* You can find a Sylvaneth Wargrove infobox at this link.
* You can find a Sylvaneth character infobox at this link.
* You can find a variety of other infoboxes at this link.

### Categories

We like each page to be in at least one, but usually more relevant categories. For a Sylvaneth Wargrove, you can categorize the page by copying the code below directly to the very bottom of your article. If appropriate, you can add additional categories as well using the same format.

[[Category:Sylvaneth]]

[[Category:GA Order]]

### Links

It is nice to add a few links to spruce up the page and provide references to the things you are talking about. This can be a way to tie multiple articles together, such as if this page mentions a character or army you have already written about, you can throw in a link to point people towards that other story. Also, the Mortal Reals are vast, and it is tough for even lore enthusiasts to know the details of every faction, so feel free to link to the canon wiki or lexicanum wiki on your first mention of each faction, plus each first mention of in-universe terms.

To link to another page within the Age of Sigmar Homebrew Wiki, use the code like this: [[Thing you are linking]], which will create a link where the text and page name are the same. Alternately, you can use something like this: [[Thing you are linking|Text to show on the page]] if the page name and the text don't match up perfectly.

To link to the Age of Sigmar canon wiki, use code like this: [[w:c:ageofsigmar:Thing you are linking|Text to show on the page]]

To link to the Lexicanum wiki, use code like this: [https://ageofsigmar.lexicanum.com/wiki/Main\_Page Text to show on page] using the full url of the page you want to link, then a space, then the text to display on page.
