===Starting a Page===
Pages should start with a lead paragraph - a few sentences describing the [[#Scope|scope]] of the page and giving an overview of its content. A relevant image is also strongly encouraged to help orient readers. Contributors should avoid making pages that are only stubs or placeholders. In-progress pages can be flagged with the <nowiki>{{WIP}}</nowiki> template. The bulk of the article should be broken into one or more sections, each with a section header, and conclude with External Links, See Also or References, if relevant. ▼
Before starting a new article, check and see if one already exists on the wiki. Try a few related search terms to get a feel for what pages are present or might be good candidates to link to the new topic. If unsure about what to write, picking something off the [[Wiki TODO]] list is a good place to start.

===External Links===
If the scope of the article is covered by another wiki, github or other external documenation, add references to an "External Links", 'See Also" or "References" section at the bottom of the page with a main section header. Links should be presented as a bulleted list or numbered <nowiki><ref></nowiki> anchors. Use a short descriptive caption to tell the reader where the link goes. Single brackets [ ] are used for external links.
