Pay careful attention to the capitalization of each element.
 
=== Anchor ===
Notice that this anchor is ''above'' the chapter heading. The anchor is done using an anchor template: {{t|anchor}} and the parameter should be "Chapter" followed by whatever is supposed to appear in {{t|book ref}} templates in order to denote chapter. In most books this will be simply the number of the chapter.
 
=== Heading ===
See above.
 
=== Epigraph ===
For books that have epigraphs, they should be included in an {{t|epigraph}}. The single parameter is the full text of the epigraph.
 
=== Character list ===
This begins with <pre>;Characters</pre>. It should include a list of all the characters, in a bulleted list (using asterisks) within a {{t|column}} template. Point of view characters appear first, followed by characters featured in the chapter, and lastly characters mentioned. Even a single mention is enough to warrant inclusion in the list. Unnamed characters and groups of characters should also be included. Within each category, organize roughly by order of appearance.
 
=== Plot summary ===
Begin with <pre>;Plot Summary</pre> and then summarize the plot. This forms the bulk of the page.
