- How to create a page
- ...
- Be very careful in choosing page names. They should be:
- Self-explanatory out of context
- Spelled correctly!
- Consistent with the names of existing related pages
- Writing style
- Don't write in the first person i.e. don't use the word "I".
- Consider writing in the present tense more than the past tense

<ref>Einstein (2009) I'm still here. Journal of Time Travel, 1:1-2.</ref>

<references/>
