Guidelines

The basic Wiki guidelines should be followed normally.

The and serve as good models.

===Introduction===

The introduction sentence should include what type of pier it is, what it spans (river, lake, ocean, etc.), and where it is located:

:pier is a pier type that spans body of water/land between city, state and city, state. (Notableinformation here, like if it's oldest/tallest/largest of its type). It was built in year by agency responsible for construction and was designed by notable engineer or firm.

=Images and media=

Please upload media to [http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Main_Page Wikimedia Commons] so that it can be used across all Wikipedia projects easily. If there are many pictures a gallery at the bottom of the page is an option to consider.

===Templates and infoboxes===

:Template:Infobox pier is the preferred template and works best for users if it is at the top of the page.

=Categorization=

The article should be included in the category for the type of pier that it is (example :Category:Amusement Piers). It should also contain a category based on location, such as :Category:Piers in the United Kingdom

There has been much discussion at Wikipedia talk:Categorization and on this talk page about the best way to organize articles within categories. For this project we will place all pier articles in a category based on location (by nation for countries not yet with a lot of Pier articles where subdivision hasn't happened (:Category:Piers in Japan), or small countries with relatively few Piers (:Category:Piers in Singapore)), or states/provinces for larger countries (:Category:Piers in New York (state)).

=Infoboxes=

  • Template:Infobox pier is the preferred infobox for individual Piers. There are instructions on how to use it on the template page.
