Subpages on specific topics:

General guidelines

Embrace hypertext—link to other pages (and also other sites, such as [[wikipedia:]] and {{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: inline/formatting ones, ones for infoboxes and other tables, complete list. Hit up 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:

__HIDDENCAT__ et al., in alphabetical order
{{DISPLAYTITLE}}
infobox(es)
ambox(es)
hatnote(s)

Note that this doesn't match Wikimedia's policy.
