			Embrace hypertext—link to other pages (and also other sites, such as <code><nowiki>[[wikipedia:]]</nowiki></code> and {{t\|TASVideos}}), but do also follow Wikipedia's linking guidelines:
			only link first mention, avoid adjacent links, don't over-link common concepts/entities ([[TASBot]], in our case).

			Use redirect shorthands wherever you feel they fit, with one exception: tagging pages with a category '''will not work''' if you use a redirect.

			Familiarise yourself with what templates exist:
			[[:Category:General-use_inline_templates\|inline/formatting ones]], [[:Category:General-use_block_templates\|ones for infoboxes and other tables]], {{plainlinks\|1=/wiki/Special:AllPages?from=&to=&namespace=10\|2=complete list}}.
			Hit up [[:Category:Wikitext_wizards\|any of these users]] if you want help making new ones.

	Magic words, categories, and page-level block templates should be placed at the top of the page in this order:		Magic words, categories, and page-level block templates should be placed at the top of the page in this order:
