[edit] Layout Tips

• You can learn more on how to use the quest header on its template page.
  • The quest header is made up of optional parameters: only those parameters that are needed for the current quest need to be included. See the template page for a complete list of the available parameters.
• You can also learn more about how to use the quest footer on its template page.
• You can use 3-tier (===Example===) header to separate content on the "Detailed Walkthrough" section.
• Some quests are in step-by-step list format. The step-by-step format was our original quest format, and we recently converted over to this one. If you think you can handle it, feel free to convert the step-by-step format into this one.
• The quest footer should only by used with series quests. (Ex: Dark Brotherhood, Main Quest, etc.)
• When in doubt, an experienced member can be contacted to help you. Asking someone on their talk page or looking for help on the IRC channel will help you greatly.
