Might split this up later -Black Squirrel 09:59, 18 April 2009 (EDT)

Headers

You've seen how headers work in the editing section, but there's a lot of different sizes, WHICH DO WE USE!?

Double equals ("==") headers are the best to split up sections. If in doubt, use them. This means single equals ("=") headers can be used if the article ends up massive and needs organising. Triple and quadrouple equals headers can be used after the doubles to split things up even further.

Example


World War I

Germany

Lost

Britian

Won

World War II

Germany

Lost

Adolf Hitler

Died

Britian

Won

Winston Churchil

Didn't die. Got an insurance firm named after him.


Really you shouldn't be using single equals headers in small articles. Single equals headers are just as important as the page name, and it's unlikely that you'll ever find anything as important as that on MFGG unless two articles have merged. So stick to two.

Horizontal Rules

You won't need to use them much. I've used them above to separate that example. That's the first time I've ever really needed them, so chances are you won't need them for MFGGer or fangame pages.
