|  | = Page Format =
 |  | 
|  |   |  | 
|  | The format of a term page is 
 |  | 
|  |   |  | 
|  | :'''Definition'''
 |  | 
|  |   |  | 
|  | :'''Related Terms '''
 |  | 
|  |   |  | 
|  | :'''External Links'''
 |  | 
|  |   |  | 
|  | :'''Categories'''
 |  | 
|  |   |  | 
|  | == Definition ==
 |  | 
|  |   |  | 
|  | '''Note:  Definitions should only be added by users with [[Special:Listadmins|Administrator]] status. If you don't have admin status but want to suggest a definition, please create a "stub" on the main page (see below) and use the Discussion page for the term suggested definition. See [[Help:Comments]] for help on the Discussion page.'''
 |  | 
|  |   |  | 
|  | The definition can be added using a Draft Definition Template 
 |  | 
|  |   |  | 
|  | <pre>{{Def|Term goes here|Definition goes here}}</pre>
 |  | 
|  |   |  | 
|  | The result is the table below (which is generated from the single line of text}
 |  | 
|  |   |  | 
|  | {{Def|Term goes here|Definition goes here}}
 |  | 
|  |   |  | 
|  | If there is no definition, the page can still be generated using a "Stub" template in as a placeholder:
 |  | 
|  |   |  | 
|  | <pre>{{stub}}</pre>
 |  | 
|  |   |  | 
|  | Which renders as
 |  | 
|  |   |  | 
|  | {{stub}}
 |  | 
|  |   |  |

|  |   |  | 
|  | == Related Terms ==
 |  | 
|  |   |  | 
|  | Related terms are entered as a level 2 header. Terms on this site are linked using double brackets, for example
 |  | 
|  |   |  | 
|  | <pre>== Related Terms ==
 |  | 
|  |   |  | 
|  | [[Mass Spectrometry]]</pre>
 |  | 
|  |   |  | 
|  | The internal link renders as
 |  | 
|  |   |  | 
|  | [[Mass Spectrometry]]
 |  | 
|  |   |  | 
|  | Any text within double brackets is treated as a page on this site (even if it doesn't exist yet).
 |  | 
|  |   |  | 
|  |   |  | 
|  | == External Links ==
 |  | 
|  |   |  | 
|  | External links are entered as a level 2 header. External links are input using '''single''' brackets, for example
 |  | 
|  |   |  | 
|  | <pre>== External Links ==
 |  | 
|  |   |  | 
|  | [http://www.asms.org/ ASMS Website]</pre>
 |  | 
|  |   |  | 
|  | The link renders as 
 |  | 
|  |   |  | 
|  | [http://www.asms.org/ ASMS Website]
 |  | 
|  |   |  | 
|  | Note that the general format is "[" followed by the URL, followed by a space, then the text for the link, then "]".
 |  | 
|  |   |  | 
|  |   |  | 
|  | == Categories ==
 |  | 
|  |   |  | 
|  | All term pages should be put into at least one category. This is done by adding  
 |  | 
|  |   |  | 
|  | <pre>[[Category:Some Important Things]]</pre>
 |  | 
|  |   |  | 
|  | at the bottom of the page, where ''Some Important Things'' is the category name. When the page is rendered, a link to the category will be put in a box at the page bottom.
