 * You must ensure that to the left of the vertical line you have the name of your page followed by the section that it is in, so a page on a new drug in Wikidrugs would read [[new drug - Wikidrugs.  To the right of the line is what you will actually see on the finished page, so you should write the name of your page here.

 Once you have got your major headings in place you can then fill in the sections. We encourage that you get an equal balance of prose and bullet points in your text, as this results in the easiest format to read. Good examples of this balance would be these pages:
-[[Special Senses - Visual - Anatomy & Physiology|Visual]], [[Spleen - Anatomy & Physiology| Spleen]] and [[Spinal Column - Anatomy & Physiology|Spinal Column]].
+[[Eye - Anatomy & Physiology|The Eye]], [[Spleen - Anatomy & Physiology| Spleen]] and [[Spinal Column - Anatomy & Physiology|Spinal Column]].
 Try to use bullet points when a list is beneficial for learning or if you are trying to write a stepwise process. Below is an example of how to write bullet points.
