<nowiki>Obviously, when the text calls for the full name or full castle name, just link like normal [[Oda Nobunaga]].</nowiki>

<nowiki>Also, until someone says it would look better or should be done that way, we will only link the first occurence of a link - for example, the first Oda Nobunaga will be [[Oda Nobunaga]], but after that, no more occurences will be linked.</nowiki>

==Other Notes==
 +
*All Wiki Biography tites for Japanese entries will be listed as ''family name first''. Titles (i.e. Iga no kami) will not be included in the article title, but in the biographical details summary above the article.
 +
*There should be two spaces between the data heading at the top of an article and the body of text, and one space between the body of text and the references.
