*When listing height in feet and inches, only use an apostrophe to specify the number of feet.
**Do not include a "0" if the subject is at an even number of feet/meters tall.
*If the postmortem interval and body condition are not known, use "unknown" instead of "not stated".
*If the height and weight are not known, use "N/A" instead of "not stated".
*Avoid using "to" in regards to a range (such as age). Please use an endash (-) instead.
*At this time, this is an only English-language website.
*The beginning of the article should state the individual’s name (or the article title) in bold text.
**If the individual used a different name than what they were born with, specify it in quotation marks after the middle name (if known).
*The lifespan of an individual is optional to add following the inclusion of their name in parentheses.
*All articles (with the exception of disambiguations) should have an [[Unidentified Wiki:Infoboxes|Infobox]].
**See the "[[Unidentified Wiki:Creating a page|creating a page]]" guide for additional information.
**When adding a notice to the page (after identification, for example), the Infobox will need to be moved to the top of the page.
**This is done by dragging the box upward in the visual editor
**In source mode, the template can be cut and pasted to appear first.
=== Sections ===
*"Discovery": describing the circumstances of finding the unidentified person.
*"Background": for missing and identified persons which would provide details of their lives before they disappeared or died.
**Sometimes, the heading "life prior to disappearance" appears but the section titles should remain short.
*“Case”: which details the details of the discovery, disappearance and investigation history.
**In order for a reference to appear on the visible portion of the page, “<nowiki><references /></nowiki>” must appear below the list of sources.
**It is also recommended to use proper citation formatting (MLA), which can be entered in various websites to be copied for referencing an article.
**Inline citations can be important to verify a major detail of a case, such as the manner of death.
*Using inline citations and footnotes will interfere with each other, so only use one or the other.
*If you wish to add footnotes (to clarify pronunciation or a disputed element in the case, use the same tag for inline citations.
**If using footnotes, please create another section beneath “Sources” titled “Footnotes” with <nowiki><references /></nowiki> beneath it.
