Guidelines

When making a tutorial, make sure you follow these guidlines:

• When typing in an entity name in your tutorial, make sure you add square brackets around your entity name to make it link to the entity page:

[[prop_physics]]

• Always give credit to the author of the tutorial by putting this at the very top of the page:

''by Authorname''

• Remember to seperate your tutorial into sections for easy navigation, and if needed, force the table of contents by putting this on your page:

__TOC__

• Be neat, use bold and italics to make items stick out.
• If images are very large, use the right-aligned thumbnail method:

[[Image:Image.jpg|thumb|right|Step 1]]

• Try not to make your page with "Creating" or "Using" in front of it like: Water instead of Creating Water. It makes the tutorial section less organized.
