The guidance contained elsewhere in the UMoS, particularly {{section link||Punctuation}} (below) applies to all parts of an article, including the title.

== Section organization ==

An article should begin with an introductory ''lead section'', which should not contain section headings ''(see [[UniWiki:Manual of Style/Lead section]])''. The remainder of the article may be divided into sections, each with a section heading (see below) that can be nested in a hierarchy.

The lead should be a concise summary. Newly added information does not always qualify as important enough for the lead; it should be placed in the most appropriate section or sections (see [[UniWiki:LEAD]]).

If there are at least four section headings in the article, a navigable [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Section#Table_of_contents_.28TOC.29 table of contents] is generated automatically and displayed between the lead section and the first heading.

If the topic of a section is also covered in more detail in a dedicated article, show this by inserting <code><nowiki>{{main|Article name}}</nowiki></code> directly under the section heading (see also [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Summary_style Summary style]).

As explained in more detail in {{section link|UniWiki:Manual of Style/Layout|Standard appendices and footers}}, optional appendix and footer sections containing the following lists may appear after the body of the article in the following order:

* internal links to related UniWiki articles (section heading "See also");

* notes and references (section heading "Notes" or "References", or a separate section for each; see [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citing_sources Citing sources]);

* relevant books, articles, or other publications that have not been used as sources (section heading "Further reading");

* relevant websites that have not been used as sources and do not appear in the earlier appendices (added as part of "Further reading" or in a separate section headed "External links");

* internal links organized into [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Categories,_lists,_and_navigation_templates#WP:NAVBOX navigational boxes] (sometimes placed at the top in the form of sidebars);

* [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Categorization Categories].

Other article elements include [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Hatnote disambiguation hatnotes] (normally placed at the very top of the article) and [[UniWiki:Manual of Style/Infobox|infoboxes]] (usually placed before the lead section).
