=== Temporary Notes for the Editors ===
 
 
Until I create format help pages for all major categories, I'll give examples here. For the standard date entry, see [[1574]], and for the standard battle entry, see the [[Battle of Akechi Castle]] - also notice that all applicable categories are added to each page.
 
 
And don't forget to notate what changes you did with each edit, and if they are minor, be sure to click the "minor edit" box - it will make things easier to follow.
 
 
I also have a copy of these notes on the [[SamuraiWiki:Community Portal|Community Portal]] section.
