Remember to use "Places: <Place name>" as your article title.
Also--keep in mind that this is just a suggested template. The closer you keep to the form, the more contiguous the Almanac will be, but if you omit some fields and add others, no one will sue you. The purpose of these articles is to include the information people will need in order to incorporate these places into their stories.
NOTE: Please keep in mind that your article must be consistent with the rest of the Almanac, particularly the Maps. At this time, we are not permitting people to create new continents other than those already present on the map. While you may create small geographical features such as small islands, hills, or minor rivers, avoid suggesting drastic changes to the existing maps. (Also, we reserve the right to deny such minor geographical additions if they contradict other Almanac materials, or if the region in question has become overdeveloped.)
