Some text that gives a basic overview of Example, including all the information that is important to those readers who want only a basic overview. No details, but make sure nothing terribly important is missing.
The Overview comes before the table of contents, but if you want a right-floating TOC like we do here, use the {{RightTOC}} template manually. Otherwise, the Wiki will automatically insert a table of contents when there are three or more sections.
Aspect A
Describe one aspect of Example here, if necessary with subsections...
subsection ABC
Subsections improve structure and readability. Consider opening a new subsection for any continuing though that spans more than a few short paragraphs. Remember that more often than not the wiki will not be read like a book but like a reference and people should be able to find that piece of information they are looking for without much searching and without reading an entire article.
Aspect B
Another aspect of Example, if it is sufficiently different from Aspect A, it deserves it's own section. For example, when discussing the ruling class of a realm, every position (ruler, banker, etc.) should get his own section, while the various parts of every job have subsections.
And So On...
Until you run out of stuff...

Whenever there are other places that a reader interested in additional and/or related information should be visiting, group them in this section, which should always be at the end of the article. Do repeat links here that you already have in the main article text.
- Use lists
- for the "see also" links
- it really makes a difference
Don't forget the categories at the bottom. Remember that an article can be in multiple categories.
