White Wolf:Establish context

&laquo;- White Wolf: Policies and Guidelines

Just about every article in WWWiki needs to begin with one or two sentences that state the basics and establish the context of the article. Because each page can be viewed separately, almost at random, it's important to let the reader know what exactly the article is about. An example from Star Trek wiki Memory Alpha:


 * The USS Hood (NCC-42296) was an Excelsior-class Federation starship...

Additionally, it's important to use links to help establish the context of the article. For example:


 * The USS Hood (NCC-42296) was an Excelsior-class Federation starship...

You might think you sound silly when you write a sentence to establish context — everyone knows who Caine is, right? Well, maybe not — and that's what WWWiki is for! So even if it sounds silly, be sure to state the obvious when beginning your new article.
