User:Joegrohens/Checklist for Wikipedia Articles

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Required Elements

[edit]

Your wikipedia article will have the following parts.

  • A page title
(Choose a good article name, and capitalize the first word only, unless it's a proper name.)
  • An info box
  • An image
  • A well-developed "lead section" prior to any subsections
  • A references section that uses "in-line citations" (footnote style)
  • Links to other Wikipedia pages
  • Category boxes, if possible.

Stylistic Notes

[edit]
  • Make sure your headings are made with equal signs (==), not apostrophes for bold-face (' ')
  • It's good when multiple pictures alternate from right to left.
  • It's better to embed your external hyperlinks in a link name, rather than just displaying the URL to the website.
