World Homepage Template

Page Setup Information
Be sure to make your homepage title the name of your world/project. Next, add the category "World HQ" to the homepage to ensure that it shows up in the Worlds category list and elsewhere on the wiki.

This homepage can start as a simple outline of relevant information on one wiki page. As time goes on, and more content is added, the world homepage can eventually become a summary of relevant pages with links to longer articles, or a random list of popular pages to start with under a main world description, or whatever sort of hub you can envision. There are no rules on how to grow for each world, do what feels right for what you are building!

The following is a single page template that would have a good amount of information to launch collaboration on.
