# '''Click the red link, and you will arrive at an edit screen where you can begin creating your article.'''
#* [http://oot.cloudmodding.com/w/index.php?title=Example&action=edit&redlink=1 Example]
# '''Use the "Show preview" button below the Edit Summary box to preview your changes before clicking "Save page".'''
#* Please try to add or edit as much as possible before saving the page so you don't spam the [[Special:RecentChanges|Recent Changes]] page with notifications.

#* Example: [[:object_human]]

===Redirects===

Sometimes an element has more than one commonly-known name. For example, Link's unused beam attack is known as both "Beam Blade" and "Blade Beam". You can create a redirect, so people searching for "Beam Blade" will get to the article for "Blade Beam". Add the following code to an article to create a redirect:

{| class="wikitable" style="text-align: left; color: green;"
|'''Code:'''
|-
|<nowiki>#REDIRECT [[Element Name]]</nowiki>
|}

For example, you can add <nowiki>#REDIRECT [[Beam Blade]]</nowiki> to the Animal Forest page.

==Table of Contents==

A table of contents will automatically be added to the page when there are four or more sections. However, if you need to put code directly underneath the TOC for page formatting purposes (e.g. <tt><nowiki>{{clear}}</nowiki></tt>), place the following code between the page intro (or bob, if there is no intro) and the first section heading:

{| class="wikitable" style="text-align: left; color: green;"
|'''Code:'''
|-
|<nowiki>__TOC__</nowiki>
|}

Please do not manually add TOCs to short pages for any other reason.

==Descriptions==

Please put a short description of the element at the top of every article.

'''Example:'''

<pre>''Beam Blade'' is an unused beam attack depicted in prerelease screenshots for ''Ocarina of Time''.</pre>
