Adding People
When adding people remember to include all relevant categories; for instance if the person is a knight, you should include the category for their Order, the year they were belted, and the Kingdom that they are knighted under. You should also include the category for their chapter and Kingdom. You might want to use the Player Entry Template.
Adding things
When adding new things that are relevant to amtgard remember to include [[Category:Amtgard Things]] or [[Category:Amtgard Terms]]. First list the basic definition, and what the 'thing' is used for. then give specific examples and where one might find the thing.
Adding Groups
When adding a group such as a Company or Household; you should list a short description of the goals of the group and what they are a bout, A truncated history, the symbols or colors of the group, and a listing of members (past and present).
