Writing guidelines: Organizations
The following guidelines are used in order to compose and fill out pages regardeing various organizations in the World of Greyhawk setting. In addition to the general Writing Guidelines, articles on organizations should use the sections listed below—note that some subjects will not require every section, and unused section headers should be removed until they are needed..
A few things to keep in mind:
- The organization infobox should be used along with these guidelines for articles about any specific organization within the World of Greyhawk campaign setting such as an identifiable guild, association, royal house, knighthood, council, or other similar group of people, with as many values filled in as possible.
- The infobox should include the organization’s name only if it differs substantially from the page name.
- The introductory sentence should include both the organization's common and full names, and any alternate names each in bold , as well as general organization.
