This is a SmashWiki style guide, giving pointers of making an article look good even if it is very short.

== Lists ==
Lists can be created by having an asterisk be the first character in a line:
* Just
* like
* this.
Numbered ones can also be done with the number sign:
# Which
# is very
# similar.
Lists shall never be done with line breakers, as it looks better with dots.<br />
 
== Images ==
=== Banners ===
Wide banners should be compressed, but still viewable; copy this code to top of page:
[<i></i>[Image:BannerName.jpg|right|450px|{<i></i>{SUBST:PAGENAME}}'s banner]]
Replacing BannerName.jpg with the actual name of the uploaded banner. Size can vary depending of length.
 
== Wording ==
Use a lot of pronouns. Who doesn't like them?
* Bad example: ''Smiddle is a smasher who mains Luigi. Smiddle is crewless.''
* Better example: ''Smiddle is a smasher who mains Luigi. <u>He</u> is crewless.''
