New and improved. Much easier to understand.

Some communal notes:
 * Infobox codes go at the very top of the page
 * The descriptor sentence stays the same across all pages. There is no need to add more.
 * Do not create new pages just for the sake of having them. You make it much harder on the community members.
 * All infobox codes can be copied directly out of here.
 * Only link to other pages once.
 * Headings are usually Type 2 (two = signs on either side of the heading name)

The types of pages on this wiki.
 * Generic: This is the layout that most pages will have.
 * Island: Self-explanatory
 * Animal: Also self-explanatory
 * Resource: Anything that cannot be crafted (excluding food)
 * Food: Any food that is not crafted
 * Crafted Food: The same as food, except there are lines for recipe and crafting stations.
 * Event NPC: Rarely used. Only a few pages with this format exist, so it's best to just leave it alone.

Some helpful links before you get started
 * How to use infoboxes

I personally recommend editing in Source mode, because it's easier for me.

1) The infobox This part can be tricky for new editors, but it's actually fairly simple. The only fields you have to write in are the caption (if you want), and the handful of lines that are left blank after the = sign. Recipes can be condensed (e.g. If the recipe calls for 2 planks, you can write Plank x2) If you're ever confused about the infobox code, you can always check other pages of that type to look a the code.

2) The descriptor sentence A page name here is a thing in Survival 303. Page name is self-explanatory. This part is always bolded-faced. Thing is a loose term used. Generally, the most-used are item/tool/building Nothing else should be added to the sentence, it is just a quick overview of what the subject is about.

3) The headings
 * Generic/Food/Crafted Food/Resource/Event NPC: Overview (example)
 * Island: Overview/Survival Tips/Pros and Cons (then Pros and Cons) (example)
 * Animal: Appearance/Habitat and Population/Behaviour/Hunting Strategies/Drops/Recipes/Extra Information (example)

4) The info Not much is required here, except that this is more "expand on the uses" as opposed to "list the recipe and crafting station again".
