:: Ex 1: Writing syntax for skills can be tedious, requiring the use of <nowiki><pre></nowiki> tags or something equally hideous.

= Areas =
Area pages are marked with the [[Template:AreaPage|<nowiki>{{AreaPage}}</nowiki>]] template. Obviously, these are articles for the various areas, or player-accessible zones, of the game.
== Naming Area Pages ==
* ''Vashnar Mountains'' is preferred over ''The Vashnar Mountains'', if only because then our category pages don't have massive clusters of articles under the "T" alphabetical listing.
* In using the AreaPage template, you should add a type as well: '''<nowiki>{{AreaPage|type=Mountains}}</nowiki>'''. Write the type in title case.
** If, in assigning your article a type, it creates a new category, please open that category's page and add '''<nowiki>[[Category:Areas]]</nowiki>''' to it.
