User:Joegrohens/Checklist for Wikipedia Articles
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.
