Page Structure Guide

## Summary

This page will outline the structure and template of each type of page. Anything in [Square Brackets] should be replaced with the unique content of that page, while anything in (Round Brackets) is a note that should be deleted.

Of course, it's still recommended you use a completed page of that page type for reference when building a page.

The structure for Keywords, Non-Story sets and List pages is still missing from this page.
