The general layout for the page should include the table of contents and editor credits at the top, followed by the main content for the page, related research, resources and references, as shown below:

The table of contents (TOC) will appear automatically after more than three section headings are used. &nbsp;Typically, the table reproduces and numbers these headings.
 
On some occasions you may need to force the TOC to appear, you can do this by adding the following in wikitext: &nbsp;&nbsp;

The original editor/s is/are the first person/people that contributed significant content to that page (this person can be identified by looking at the page history - click the History tab). They are credited with a link to their profile page in the grey box at the top right of the article.  
 
The editor credits (EC) are manually added to each page with the following wikitext:
<pre>&lt;div class="editorbox"&gt;
'''Original Editor '''­ [[User:Username|Username]]
 
'''Top Contributors''' - {{Special:Contributors/{{FULLPAGENAME}}}}
&lt;/div&gt;</pre>
Note: an example of how this <nowiki>[[User:Username|Name as it will appear in the text]]</nowiki> may look is <nowiki>[[User:Rachael Lowe|Rachael Lowe]]</nowiki>. &nbsp;Replace 'Username' and with that persons name.
