SCP Foundation Wikia:Article Layout guidelines

This page contains the general guidelines for Article layout on the SCP-Wiki at Wikia/Fandom. It describes the structure and organization of content within an article. It also describes how sections should be named and organized.

On Structure
Organization and presentation of the Wiki is one of the most important aspects of wiki editing. The presentation/organization dictates the order and style in which the reader sees information, and can dictate how editors contribute to an article.

For ease of editing and accomplishing the target goal, an editor should approach articles as if they were an outline. Establish individual section titles first, and fill in the information piece wise as you go. Don't overload your articles with lots of sections and subsections, it makes the article more difficult to read.

Section Ordering and Naming
The following is a short overview of what a standard article layout should contain. An article may not have every section covered. Specific layouts are covered more fully on the specific article pages.
