There doesn't seem to be an "official" guidline to how an article should be formatted.. However, it is perferable to keep articles looking consistent.

You'll notice that most articles involving items/monsters/locations start with a short description, and the article goes on to explain background information, appearance (if applicable) and chronicles events that interpret events involving the subject matter. And not always in this order...

I suppose you could say it's a matter of preference?

As for those symbols... I'm not really sure XD
