===Recommended approach===
Just start editing, taking the style and content to look appear similar to any relatively well developed articleat Patholines. If you do not know the tool or wiki code for what you want to do, just do something that makes it look as similar as possible, such as:
*Headers using UPPER CASE LETTERS
When a substantial amount of content (with no strict threshold but often corresponding to about a section) is copied or closely paraphrased from a source with a Creative Commons license that includes attribution (such as [https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ CC-BY]), the authors of that article should be mentioned at top, such as "Authors of integrated Creative Commons article" followed by a [[#References|reference]] to that article. If only minor portions of such article is integrated, it is enough to mention the authors by a reference at the integrated material.
==Target audienceContent=='''Target audience''': The text should be written to be understood by a medical school graduate with corresponding pathology knowledge. It should be '''concise''', so that a pathologist (or graduate training to become a pathologist) at work can quickly find the information of interest. For example, do not state what the reader most definitely already knows. Also, limit the content to what should be done at each step, and limit the underlying theory thereof to the most essential, such as an overview chart of etiologies and their incidences in [[Dark_skin_focalities#Microscopic_evaluation|Dark skin focalities]].<ref name="elsewhere" group="notes">Patholines presumes that additional underlying theory can generally be readily found elsewhere.</ref>
The organization of gross and microscopic examinations must be '''finding-based''' rather than diagnosis-based (as in form example [[Kidney autopsy#Microscopic evaluation]]). It should must be assumed that the readers do '''not know the names''' for the pathologic findings at hand, '''nor which conditions''' are causing them when needing to use Patholines in the situation at hand, trying to find their way through the inter-article structure of Patholines (described in next section).
Text can be written in '''imperative ''' format where appropriate, such as "Look at..." or "Avoid...".
The '''ambition''' should be what is acceptable for a general pathologist without sub-specialization to perform. More detailed evaluations or procedures should be noted (such as "Optionally" or by distinguishing "An acceptable approach..." from "A more comprehensive approach". Such material can also be linked to separate articles, whose title can contain "Beyond the acceptable". Similarly, reports can be of various comprehensiveness (see for example [[Autopsy]]).
==Inter-article structure==

==General section recommendationsSections==
Suggested headers for different types of articles are given in their sections below. Still, it is not necessary for the creator of an article to start multiple sections right away, but can let it grow with time by collaborative editing.
Titles can be either singular or plural.
===Location articles===
Example: [[Skin]], [[Liver]]
*'''Common findings''', which may also include harmless incidental findings.
===Location-specific presentation articles===
Examples: [[Dark skin focalities]], [[Breast biopsy or excision]], [[Intestine with tumor]]
Use bulleted lists where possible.
===Location-unspecific diagnosis or presentation articles===
Example: [[Melanoma]]
*'''Locations''', such as [[Melanoma]] linking to [[Melanoma of the skin]]
===Location-specific diagnosis articles===
Example: [[Basal cell carcinoma]]
:*'''Microscopy/Histopathology report'''
===Location-specific finding articles===
Example: [[Proteinaceous material in Bowman's space]]
*'''Presentations''', linking to relevant articles where the finding is relevant, such as [[Myocardial fibrosis]] being a potential finding in [[Heart]], [[Heart autopsy|autopsy thereof]] and/or [[autopsy of myocardial infarction]].
