-  <h2>Wiki Styling Notes</h2>
-  <p>Questions and comments about the content of a page belong on the Talk/Discussion tab of each page, and should end with <tt><nowiki>--~~~~</nowiki></tt> <b>(two dashes and four tildes).</b> This is the wikicode used to sign and datestamp your entry. It is an essential component to your discussion remarks.</p>
-  <p>The Dwarf Fortress Wiki does not endorse the development of individual content pages or redirect pages for specific phrases, but uses the search bar (located on the left of the screen) for this purpose. Searching for "Melt Item" yields the [[Melt item]] page without the need to develop an individual redirect page. While this wiki, as all wikis, thrives on the contributions of its user base, please add content in a manner coherent to the current standards of this particular wiki project.</p>
