Infobox and categories
A few additional pointers regarding the applicable infoboxes and categories:
Quest article layout
The layout is composed of three tables. The top and bottom tables are standard layout items found in every article; they are only included here for completeness and are collapsed by default. The middle table contains the actual specifics for quest pages.
in the "headline" column means that the article should have a headline of that name if you want to include such a layout item.
in the "headline" column means that this layout item should not have a headline.
in the "required" column means that every quest article should include this layout item.
in the "required" column means that not every quest article needs to include this layout item.

Page management boxes
|
|
|
Page management templates are used if you notice that something is out of order with a certain article or section and want to bring it to the attention of other editors or administrators. If the issue affects the whole article, these boxes should be placed at the very top of an article; if only a section is affected, they should be placed just below the headline of the respective section. The only exception are stub templates.
For a list of page management boxes, please refer to template overview or directly to Category:Page management templates.
|
Project tags
|
|
|
Projects are joint efforts of editors who work together to improve a set of articles that cover a certain area of interest. Some of these projects have tags or boxes which are placed on the pages which the project affects; these should be placed below the article management boxes.
|
"For" template
|
|
|
{{for}} is used to make a reader aware of other articles they may have been looking for when entering the title of the current page.
|
Infobox
|
|
|
The purpose of infoboxes is to summarize data relating to the article. Infoboxes should appear in the top-right corner of an article. For a list of infobox templates, please refer to template overview or directly to Category:Infobox templates.

Stub templates
|
|
|
Stub templates mark an article as being too short to provide more than rudimentary information about a subject. All stub templates can be found in Category:Stub, only the most specific should be used.
|
Navboxes
|
|
|
Navboxes are navigational aids which allow easy access to other articles in a group the current article belongs to. They should be placed at the end of an article, just above the categories. The most article-specific navboxes should be highest and the least-specific lowest.
A list of navboxes can be found in Category:Navbox templates. New navboxes can be constructed with {{Navbox}} .

Categories and interwiki links
|
|
