	# '''Available''': where to find the resource in question. This is most commonly a URL, or possibly multiple URLs (live version, project code, documentation wiki, etc.), but may also include links to a library catalogue, or just information about an offline media format, or the fact that a project or tool is legacy or defunct. There should always be at least one entry under this heading. For consistency, please format this content in a list (even if there is only one item).		# '''Available''': where to find the resource in question.

	# '''Editor''': the person or persons responsible for authoring or curating the resource in question. If applicable, you may prefer to use the heading <nowiki>==Author==</nowiki>, <nowiki>==Director==</nowiki> or similar for this section. Please do not list an entire project team along with titles, roles, job descriptions, honorifics, links to home pages, etc. in this section (they belong on the project’s own webpage); it is really designed just to list one or a short list of the key people responsible for an entire project.		# '''Editor''': the person or persons responsible for authoring or curating the resource in question.

	* To link to an external page, the syntax is similar but not identical. The link text and link address are enclosed in single square brackets, and there is no need for the vertical bar to separate them. For example, <nowiki>[http://nytimes.com New York Times]</nowiki> will display as [http://nytimes.com New York Times] and link to the NY Times web site. You can also specify only the link address without square brackets, if you want the URL to be the visible, clickable link. <nowiki>http://nytimes.com</nowiki> will display as http://nytimes.com. Single square brackets around the URL only will create a numbered reference linking to that address: <nowiki>[http://nytimes.com]</nowiki> will display as [http://nytimes.com].		* To link to an external page, the syntax is similar but not identical.
