**This part will differ depending on what the article is about. However, articles covering similar subject matter should generally follow the same structure. For example, [[Sir Daniel Fortesque]] and [[Zarok]] are both characters, so their articles should generally use the same headings. | **This part will differ depending on what the article is about.

**Some commonly used headings on Gallowpedia: | |||
***'''History''' | |||
****A history section will usually appear on in-universe articles such as character or item pages. It should explain the full history of the subject matter within the context of the ''MediEvil'' universe. It can have subheadings dividing the section by historical or personal time periods. | |||
***'''Characteristics''' | |||
****This section is used to describe the subject matter in more detail focusing on its appearance, personality or abilities (if applicable). | |||
***'''Gameplay''' | |||
****These sections usually deal with how the subject matter figures into the gameplay of the game(s) it appears in. For example, in the case of enemy pages, a strategy section and a damage table are quite common. | |||
***'''Behind the scenes''' | |||
****This section is used to explain information about the subject matter that may not be disclosed or observable in the games themselves, such as development information or etymology. | |||
