To create a new paragraph, make sure you have an empty line. If you just press enter once, the wiki will render that new line as part of the same paragraph. Do not put each sentence of a paragraph on their own line, just write like you normally would.
Titles of articles should be singular. However, it is easy to have wikilinks that are plural which direct to singular titles. For example: <nowiki>[[Highprince]]s</nowiki> instead of <nowiki>[[Highprinces]]</nowiki>. You can also use apostrophes similarly.
Character articles should not include honorifics (don't include, say "Highprince" to a person's name, and should consist of their full name, like [[Torol Sadeas]] (one exception to the full name rule is that [[Vin]] should not be moved to "Vin Venture")).
Beware that, on multiple word wiki titles, there is a difference between "Shattered plains" and "Shattered Plains". Always use standard capitalization for terminology. MediaWiki also differentiates articles depending on whether apostrophes are smart quotes or not, so be sure to use regular quotes, not the curlier quotes a rich word processor like Microsoft Word produces.
