I'm starting to design this Boilerplate to help people create Player Town articles in a consistent manner. I WELCOME feedback. Below is what could be the Headings and SubHeadings for this boilerplate. My goal is to provide enough sections that people can copy this whole boilerplate, then delete those sections that don't apply. Much of this list is based on reseaching city articles on Wikipedia and other sources. --Winfield 03:54, 23 March 2010 (UTC)
