 If you need detailed instructions on how to start editing Wiki pages, I recommend reading up on how to '''[https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Editing_pages| Edit a Wiki Page]''' and how to '''[https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Starting_a_new_page| Start a New Wiki Page]''' as this guide will assume that users understand how to edit pages, preview their edits, and publish that page. Note that the stuff in here overrides what is in those pages, so when it doubt, trust this page.
-Otherwise, the rest of the guide provides some examples on how to properly spin up a Class Build page.

+== Wiki Headers (Sections) ==
+Wikis organize page information by putting things into headers, which are done by using the Equal Sign (<nowiki>=</nowiki>) surrounding a word or a line of text.
+Example: <nowiki>== Level 2 Header ==</nowiki>
+You can create different levels of headers by adding an additional set of equal signs, all the way to five levels:
+* <nowiki>= Level 1 Header =</nowiki>
+* <nowiki>== Level 2 Header ==</nowiki>
+* <nowiki>=== Level 3 Header ===</nowiki>
+* <nowiki>==== Level 4 Header ====</nowiki>
+* <nowiki>===== Level 5 Header =====</nowiki>
+Note that for consistency, try to only use Levels 2 and 3 for most things, as the rest are often overkill, and can make a wiki page a lot more difficult to read and edit. However, go crazy if you feel that it will work!
+An example section would be:
+ == Example Two Level Section ==
+ Quick description
+ === Example Three Level Section ==
+ Another quick description

+This section will provide some guidance and input on how best to create different types of guides. Feel free to read up if you're looking to create a guide.

+Class build guides are specific guides built around a core or unique mechanic around a class. They are often provide players with alternative ways to play a class, and provide a diversity of different play styles.
