I'm the player of multiple characters across three accounts. I don't think I have what would be called a "main" but I think Aleid and Avalera would be in the running for the title if so.
Sometimes I feel as though I'm taking a lot of liberties. I want to ensure that I'm following the prescribed rules while also adding improvements that have a net positive effect.
Questions
One of the things stressed in the style guide is the importance of consistency. Do we need more templates to help with this or do they just get in the way?
How much leeway do we have when it comes to making and adding templates?
How much leeway do we have when it comes to adding categories?
I know we can't add new lich pages, but can we dovetail new information into current pages?
Is there an existing template - other than {{log2}} that can be used to add line breaks more efficiently than <br>?
Will moderators be returning?

Things to Memorize
Margins: To keep the log format from going under the template, use:
{{log2|right-margin=400px}}
Tables: When making a table for verb traps, this seems to be the most often-used style:
{| {{prettytable|background:#F0F8FF;height:15px;}}
|- style="background:#000080; vertical-align: top; font-size: larger; color:white;"
!VERB ||FIRST ||THIRD
Color: When used judiciously, color can be a helpful tool:
|<strong><span style="color:Red;">'''Reds'''</span></strong>
Things to Learn
What exactly is 400px?? Pixel width! I knew that!
Frequently Used Templates
Storynpcbox
{{storynpcbox
|storyline = <!-- add storyline2, storyline3, and storyline4 fields on a new line, as appropriate -->
|gender =
|race =
|life = <!-- Is the NPC dead or alive? -->
|hometown =
|relationships =
|alias =
|affiliation = }}
Potential Templates
A template for the verb list - although the verb list is nearly complete, I don't mind retro-fitting them.
