Line spacers ---- should be used to separate lists of items.

When possible, long lists of items should be divided up using appropriate == headers == and === subheaders ===. The = top header = is very large and should probably not be used except at the head of a page, or the start of a category which subsumes several other categories.

If you find that a category has become very long, you are encouraged to move it to its own /SubPage.

Suggested Categorization Systems
- Hearthstones: by Aspect
- Artifacts: By level, or by material
- Virtue Flaws: by Virtue

-=== More Specific Advice ===
-Line spacers ("<tt><nowiki>----</nowiki></tt>") are often good for separating lists of items.
-When possible, long lists of items can be divided up using appropriate headers ("<tt><nowiki>== header name here ==</nowiki></tt>") and subheaders ("<tt><nowiki>=== subheader name here ===</nowiki></tt>"). The top header ("<tt><nowiki>= header name here =</nowiki></tt>") is very large and inelegant, and should probably not be used except at the head of a page, or the start of a category which subsumes several other categories.
-If you find that a category has become very long, you are encouraged to move it to its own subpage ("<tt><nowiki>/SubpageNameHere</nowiki></tt>").
-Suggested categorization systems:
-* Hearthstones: by level, or by Aspect
-* Artifacts: by level, or by material
-* Virtue Flaws: by Virtue
-What follows is a template.  Again, it's not at all required; just an idea.  It starts after the line spacer, which is not part of it.

-== Page's Name Here ==
-Brief (one paragraph or so) synopsis here.
-* back to [author's [[UserPage]]].
-* back to [general wiki page that links to it, if any].
-=== Contents ===
-If you put in anchors (see [[TextFormattingRules]]), list them here.
-=== Longer Justification / Explanation ===
-If necessary, go into the details of why you're making the page.
-=== Flavour / History ===
-If necessary, put all your flavour text and / or history and / or fiction or whatever here.
-=== Mechanics / Statistics ===
-If necessary, put mechanics or statistics here.
-=== Comments ===
-Leave a space so people can comment on your work.
