===Lead section=== Unless an article is very short, it should start with an introductory lead section, before the first subheading. The lead should ''not'' be explicitly entitled == Introduction == or any equivalent header. The table of contents, if displayed, appears after the lead section and before the first subheading. The lead should be capable of standing alone as a concise overview of the article, establishing context, and explaining why the subject is interesting or notable. It should be between one or two paragraphs long, and should be written in a clear and accessible style so that the reader is encouraged to read the rest of the article. If possible, make the title the subject of the first sentence of the article. For example, write "King '''Frederick II''' was <nowiki>[[King of Terra]]</nowiki> during and after the <nowiki>[[Second War]]</nowiki>." The first time the article mentions the title, put it in bold using three apostrophes β <code><nowiki>'''article title'''</nowiki></code> produces '''article title'''. Avoid other uses of bold in the first sentence, except for alternative titles of an article; for example: <blockquote> The '''blood elves''', or '''sin'dorei''', are a race comprised of former high elves... </blockquote> Follow the normal rules for italics in choosing whether to put part or all of the title in italics. This will mainly apply to the titles of books and games: <blockquote> '''''The Demon Soul''''' is a novel in the ''<nowiki>[[War of the Ancients]]</nowiki>'' trilogy. </blockquote> Do not put links in the bold reiteration of the title in the article's lead sentence. For example, <strike>"The '''night <nowiki>[[elves]]</nowiki>''' are an ancient race..."</strike> versus "The '''night elves''' are an ancient race."
