<span style="color:white;">Make sure to read up on the [[Help:Contents|help section]], so you know how to properly [[Help:Markup|edit]] articles before continuing.</span>


First add a brief intro about the guide, above all the headlines. Keep it as short and descriptive as possible. One or two lines of text.


Secondly, under the first headline, update the strategy guide header. This one is just here as an example on how it can look:

{{Guide top
|game= Diablo II
|patch= 1.09
|pve= Yes
|pvp= Yes
|monster= [[Baal]]
|level= Worldstone Keep
|item= Windforce
|class= Amazon
|class2= Assassin
|class3= Barbarian
|class4= Druid
|class5= Necromancer
|class6= Paladin
|class7= Sorceress
|spec= Lightning Fury Javazon
|author= Flux
|co-author= [[Leord]]
|pages= '''One''', Two, Three
|related= [[Javazon v1.09, by Flux, Part I]]
|outdated= Yes
|catexclude= Yes
}}

This version uses all variables of the [[Help:Template|template]], and most likely, you'll only use a few. Here is an explanation of what each attribute does:

{{Guide top/example}}


It's imperative that attributes that are not used are REMOVED rather than getting the "No" attribute or the like. This header will react if there is *data* in teh field, not *what* data, unfortunately. So make sure it's well and properly gone, or commented out when you make your header. If you run into trouble, ask [[Leord]] or other experienced wiki editor for help.


Thirdly is the actual contents of your guide. Feel free to use headlines, links, images, tables: anything to create your guide. You will not have to enter any additional categories, unless you are making a multi-author guide, in which case you need to add links and categories in the header's co-author variable.
