When linking to another page in the Wiki, only create a link for the first instance of the word being used on that page. | When linking to another page in the Wiki, only create a link for the first instance of the word being used on that page.

So far, there are very few instances where a disambiguation page is necessary. However, many of the pages are titled in a way that would allow for disambiguation to occur most effectively: | So far, there are very few instances where a disambiguation page is necessary.

*If adventurers are mentioned in Events posts, they can be added to the [[:Category:Notable Adventurers]] and should have "(player)" added to the title. (e.g. [[Stavros (player)]]) | |||

When adding categories to a page, the first category should be the broadest relevant category, followed by the next most specific category, and so on and so forth.

*When adding information about a geographical location: | |||
**Flora and fauna should have their descriptions noted, as well as their "strength" (e.g. weak and feeble, unafraid, etc.) and their weight. Denizens should only have their descriptions noted. | |||
***Think about an encyclopedia; a gorilla's weight and appearance and relative strength would probably be part of its entry, whereas you're unlikely to find out how much Harriet Tubman weighs or whether or not she could beat you in a fight. | |||
**To prevent an excessive amount of pages being created, each 'type' of creature gets one page, and in that page the different 'kinds' will be listed. | |||
***For example, there will be one [[mammoth]] page, and within that, {{Sectionlink|PAGE=Mammoth|SECTION=a young woolly mammoth calf}}, {{Sectionlink|PAGE=Mammoth|SECTION=a juvenile woolly mammoth}}, and {{Sectionlink|PAGE=Mammoth|SECTION=an enormous woolly mammoth}} will be listed. | |||
***Essentially, the PAGE name will be the generic noun as seen in INFO HERE, while the SECTION name is the short description. | |||
