== Heading levels ==
Within articles, use from H2 (<code>== Title ==</code>) for the highest level down to H6 (<code>====== sub sub sub sub heading ======</code>), but try to avoid too many levels of sub sections. To go down to H4 will often be enough, most articles will only use H2 levels.

== Use of escape templates ==
Certain characters and character sequences have special meanings in Wiki markup, and sometimes need to be escaped. The use of such templates should generally be done as a last resort. In cases of displaying preformatted code, the use of escape templates is highly discouraged as doing so makes code snippets difficult to read in the source editor.
'''Incorrect'''
<pre><code><nowiki>{{((}}Example Template{{))}}</nowiki></code></pre>
'''Correct'''
<pre><nowiki><code><nowiki>{{Example template}}</nowiki></code></nowiki></pre>
== Use of templates for special characters ==
