Layout[]
Description
A description of the location.
In <insert franchise, series, or game name here>
Add this heading if the location appeared in one game or the location appeared in a game part of the series. In the latter case, the subheading will have italics and a link to the game. (ex. === ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' ===) It is important to describe their role in each game. In some cases, if a location has made several appearances throughout at least two franchises (i.e. Mario, Yoshi, Wario, or Donkey Kong), the main heading can instead list a franchise name, therefore making the series name a subheading and the game name a tertiary heading. An example can be seen on the Donut Lift article.
Crossover appearances
Add this heading for any appearances the location has made. The subheading will have italics and a link to the game (ex. === ''[[Tetris DS]]'' ===) or of the series and any games falling under it. (ex. ==={{series|Super Smash Bros.}}=== followed by ====''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''====) Provide details about the location under each appropriate game subheading.
Statistics
Add some statistics to the page or {{Statistics Link}} to the article.
Flavor text
Flavor text, including profiles and bios, of a location, mostly from outside a game, such as a manual or website. Add some flavor text to the page or {{Flavor Text Link}} to the article.
Timeline
May be optional to add this heading unless the location made multiple video game appearances, in which case one should use {{Timeline}}.
Nomenclature
Add the location's names in different languages. Be sure to use {{Nomenclature}} when doing so.
Trivia
Add facts that may not fit in either of the headings above, but nonetheless serve as interesting tidbits for the reader. They must be listed with asterisks.
Gallery

References
If the articles have citations. You can only add {{Reflist}}.
