## Stubs

Stubs are used when a page is incomplete. If the page is complete, they are not needed. They let potential editors know where their help is needed.

* They go at the very top of a page, if needed.
* HC articles will use the Stub Template.
* TWC articles will use the StubT Template.
* MRSIS articles will use the StubM Template.
* For now, any articles that do not fall under these categories will just use the Stub template.
* Pages with this template should also be put in the Stub Category.

### Notes

Notes as to what is needed to complete the article are helpful in pages marked as stubs, especially those that already have signifigant progress made on them. A note would go after trigger and spoil markers (more on them later in the page). They would be written like so:

```
*Note: [Information the article is lacking]
```

## Tabs

Tabs are used when a page has subpages. If the page has no subpages, this template will not be used.

* This template goes only below a stub template, should a stub template be present.
* HC articles will use the Tabs Template.
* TWC articles will use the TabsT Template.
* MRSIS articles will use the TabsM Template.
* For now, any articles that do not fall under these categories will just use the Tabs template.
* For information on what subpages are needed for what type of article, see one of the following:

	+ Character Pages Guide
	+ Item Pages Guide
	+ Lore Pages Guide
	+ Gallery and Images Guide

## Spoils

The spoil template is used when a page contain spoilers. Not to be mistaken for the spoiler template, which will described later in the page.

* This template would go after any existing tabs.
* As of now, there is only one existing template for spoil notices, so it would apply to pages of all types (despite being HC-themed).

## Triggers

This is a notice containing the possible triggers an article may contain.

* Triggers are added for the saftey of those who may be viewing the pages, and they should be added in any pages where common triggers are present.
* This template would go after any existing spoil notice.
* HC articles will use the Trigger Template.
* TWC articles will use the TriggerT Template.
* MRSIS articles will use the TriggerM Template.
* For now, any articles that do not fall under these categories will just use the Trigger template.

Here is a list of common triggers to consider when adding this template:

* Gore/blood
* Body horror
* Eyestrain
* Flashing images or loud noises
* Excessive amounts of eyes
* Disembowlment/disembodiment/decapitation
* Torture
* Assault
* Heavy religious themes
* Human experimentation/unethical experimentation
* Animal/pet death
* Animal cruelty
* Maggots
* Sexual assault/harassment
* Bullying
* Dysmorphia/dysphoria
* Obessions and compulsions/OCD
* Intrusive thoughts
* Dissociation/unstable perception of reality
* Cults
* Suicide/self-harm
* Addiction/substance abuse

Please note that this list is not comprehensive. Others can be added as you see fit.

## WIPs

WIPs are similar to stubs, but they are to be placed under a specific section of an article, rather than being used as a way to mark that the article is generally icomplete.

* WIPs should be put after any existing information in the section.
* HC articles will use the WIP Template.
* TWC articles will use the WIPT Template.
* MRSIS articles will use the WIPM Template.
* For now, any articles that do not fall under these categories will just use the WIP template.

## Spoilers

Spoilers are similar to the spoil template, but they are placed under sections rather than indicating that the whole article has spoilers.

* HC articles will use the Spoiler Template.
* TWC articles will use the SpoilerT Template.
* MRSIS articles will use the SpoilerM Template.
* For now, any articles that do not fall under these categories will just use the spoiler template.
