In this page, you will learn about the structure of an article and how to make things appear where you want them to. If you want to learn about articles in general, check the guide to articles instead!
General article structure
In broad strokes, the content of an article article is divided into two areas: the main body (left and center of the page) and the side bar or side panel (a narrower section on the right). These areas have some predefined fields, but they are also fully customizable by you.
Below there's a preview of an example article; each area explains how to add content to it. When an area in the example below mentions the "Sections" menu, click Prompt in the article editor and look for the Sections tab.
Article title
Subheading: You will find the subheading in Sections > Header sectionsCredits: The credits are also in Header sections!
Vignette
Everything that appears here is part of the main text box, at the top of the article editor. We call this vignette, and you can write absolutely anything you want here, including headers to make your own custom article structure.
Template prompts
If you're using the optional prompts of an article template, they will appear here, under the vignette (or in the sidebar, depending on the prompt). Remember that these prompts are 100% optional; if you leave them empty, nothing will appear here.
Footnotes
If you want to add additional content at the bottom of this area after all the article template-specific prompts, you can do so with the Footnotes field. You will find it under Sections > Footer sections.

The sidebar is made up of multiple sections that let you choose exactly where everything will appear. All these fields can be found under Sections > Sidebar sections.
Content in the Sidebar: Top field will appear here.
Some article template prompts appear in this panel, but you can add custom content before or after them using the two Sidebar Content Panel fields in Sections > Sidebar Sections.
This is a great place to use custom side panel fields!
Finally, if you want to add anything below the panel, use the Sidebar: Bottom field.
If you are a Master of the Guild (or an above tier), you can also use a full-width footer! This footer spans the entire width of the article (i.e. after both the main body and the sidebar have ended). You will find it in Sections > Footer sections.
