The basic structure of an IntactiWiki article is simple - it is built of various components:
# Heading
# Sections
# External links
# References
# Categories
The very first paragraph of an article is the heading. The Heading has no headline, because the title of the article itself is the heading's headline. Here you should place a brief description. The description should be no shorter than two sentences, and no longer than six sentences. If you can, cite where the information for this description came from. If the information in the description is absolute common knowledge, that is the only time you may omit a citation. If the information could be considered biased (or difficult to believe), a citation must be added.<ref>this is the first citation</ref>
== First section ==
Here's where you start placing content that isn't part of the heading. Make a section headline by placing equals signs on both sides of the title of this new section. Only information related to this section is to be placed here. If you have other information, make a new section below. All information placed in these sections must be sourced (a citation must be added).<ref>this citation is for the first category</ref>
'''Note:''' By convention the Headline should be capitalized in sentence-style capitalization, where the first word is capitalized and the rest of the words are lowercase, unless they are proper nouns or proper adjectives. Please don't use title-style capitalization here.
== Second section ==
This is a new section, for new information not related to the above section. Make as many sections as needed (the more the better). Please avoid combining a lot of content into a single section, and split it up into more than one section, organized by the content.<ref>this citation is for the second category</ref>
== Multiple sources ==
In this section, we'll add more than one citation. The first citation will be for this claim.<ref>source for first claim in the "Multiple sources" section</ref> The second citation will be for this claim.<ref>source for second claim in the "Multiple sources" section</ref>
== How many sections? ==
There should be at least 4 sections for every article (whenever possible). Even more sections are encouraged. Once you've created at least 4 sections, a section list will appear at the top of the article (under the heading).<ref>this citation is for the "How many sections?" section</ref>
=== Sub section ===
As an example, we'll place a sub section here. If you click edit (next to this section), you'll notice that sub categories have '''three''' equals signs on each side of the sub section title.<ref>sub section citation</ref> You'll also notice that not only does the title of a sub section look somewhat different (smaller font), but the sub section index at the top of the page also reflects the new hierarchy.
==== A sub sub section ====
You can create a deeper hierarchy by adding even more equals symbols. You'll notice that with every level, the title looks a bit different. At this level the horizontal line disappears.<ref>sub sub section citation</ref>
== External links ==
This is a special section which should always be the last but one section in an article, if used at all. Here you collect links to external information, which is not part of the IntactiWiki. In the IntactiWiki, please use the [[:Template:LINKS]] instead, which simply outputs the required section headline (External links) (which avoids variants of the spelling and wording). So you just type '''<nowiki>{{LINKS}}</nowiki>''' at the beginning of a line.

== References ==
This special section should always be the very last section of an article. It automatically collects and formats all references noted in the article. Therefore, the References section needs a special tag '''<nowiki><references/></nowiki>'''. In the IntactiWiki, please use the [[:Template:REF]] instead, which simply outputs the two required lines: the section headline (References) plus the references tag. So you just type '''<nowiki>{{REF}}</nowiki>''' at the beginning of a line.
