	The following pages have been created to ~~ducment~~ the desired structure of the articles. Note that not every section of the page needs to be in the articles. They are an example page in which we can discuss what the structure of the articles should look like. These should be used as a guide for creating new articles. For now I recommend to "watch" the pages below (click the star icon). It helps, as we otherwise don't get notifications when commenting in the talk pages.

			== User Pages ==
			Player-created characters should not receive individual pages on the wiki. Exceptions exist for characters that become ingrained into the game, such as dukes of regions or cities. Player characters which have items named after them may also have pages, but the content of both these pages and the prior exception should be formatted as NPC pages, and not used as personal message boards or advertisement spaces.

			Users may create and monitor their individual User pages. Once a user access the wiki, they may create their User page by clicking on their username in the upper right corner of this website. See (http://projectgorgon.com/wiki/User:Kingfury) for an example.

			On a User Page's Discussion tab, Users may leave a comments. Always reply to other comments using multiple ":" to create indents. Sign your name after a comment with four "~"

	===Capitalization===		===Capitalization===
	Capitalize ~~each word for~~ named ~~entities in the game~~ (~~creatures~~, items, ~~areas~~, ...). eg. "~~Crystal Cavern~~". ~~Except for~~ "in", ~~"of"~~ etc. (~~eg. "Word~~ of ~~Power"~~).		'''Capitalize only proper nouns''' as a general rule (a noun describing a unique entity). This includes: named creatures (bosses), unique items, zones, dungeons, etc.

			'''Headings''': use normal sentence case (eg. "How to learn"), except for proper nouns mentioned in the heading.

			'''Categories''': likewise use capitalization only for proper nouns (eg. "Kur Mountains NPCs"), and not for common nouns (eg. "Skill trainers").

			==Article names==
			Use the exact in-game spelling for skills, locations, quests, items, etc (all proper nouns of in-game unique entities).

	~~Capitalize~~ the ~~first word only most everywhere else:~~		Use the same name as the in-game "label", with the exact same punctuation and capitalization, generally in singular.
