+== Tricks and Techniques ==
+A '''trick''' is anything that you use to save time or improve your score etc.. A '''shortcut''' in a racing game counts as a trick. A trick becomes a '''technique''' when you find you can use it in multiple different locations. A '''bug''' is when something happens in the game which shouldn't really happen. A '''glitch''' is when something happens which ''really shouldn't'' happen. Of course, this is all splitting hairs, because luckily Speedrunwiki doesn't sort meticulously sort tricks by how allowable they are.
−* Tricks and shortcuts that save time.
+Individual tricks and techniques which are '''common''', '''notable''' or '''complex''' enough should each be given their own separate article.
+* List tricks under their most '''universally recognised name''', e.g. [[Power Crouch Stab]].
+* In the opening paragraph, explain '''where the trick is used and in what game(s)'''.
+** If possible, put an '''image of the trick in action''' on the right of the first paragraph.
+* In the first major section, give as much '''detail''' as you can about performing the trick. Images, diagrams and video links should be included if possible.
+* In the second section, detail the '''history of the trick''' if it has any - who discovered it, when they discovered it and what its impact was.
+=== Also ===
+* Terminology
* Explanations or definitions of anything related to speedruns on the relevant terminology page or on its own page if it doesn't fit anywhere.
