	'''Logs''' are logs of events as seen through the lens of characters. Storyline logs should be tied to the storyline first by name, then by date. This will mirror standards already in place for how to handle logs, with the exception that these should be set up as subpages to the storyline redirect page. Page naming standard should be as follows:
	: <code><nowiki>Storyline redirect page name (storyline)/[Date] - [Title of Log, if applicable] (log)</nowiki></code>

			{{#section:Help:Style/Formatting special articles\|storylines2}}
	It is on the contributor uploading the log to ensure the log is linked to the storyline page, and if done so, must be under the <code><nowiki>Logs</nowiki></code> subheader. The storyline's category, as well as the log category, should be added to the log.
