Help:Introduction tutorial
H:BR: "As of April 2019 the rather common form <br> also causes this incorrect display in some of them, and is thus better avoided for the time being."
H:DL: ""
MOS:LEADCITE: "The necessity for citations in a lead should be determined on a case-by-case basis by editorial consensus. Complex, current, or controversial subjects may require many citations; others, few or none. The presence of citations in the introduction is neither required in every article nor prohibited in any article."
MOS/Linking: "For geographic places specified with the name of the larger territorial unit following a comma, generally do not link the larger unit. For example, avoid [[Buffalo, New York|Buffalo]], [[New York (state)|New York]], [[United States]] or [[Sydney]], [[New South Wales]], [[Australia]]; instead use [[Buffalo, New York]], United States or [[Sydney]], New South Wales, Australia."
MOS/Lists#Line breaks
MOS:SERIAL: "Serial commas are more helpful the more complex the material, such as a list with multi-word items (especially if one contains its own and) or a series of probably unfamiliar terms.
However, there are cases in which either omitting or including the serial comma results in ambiguity..."
Template:Flag: "23×15px is the default size for most countries (some entities have a different default size)."
Template:Infobox person#Inline lists: "Parameters with multiple values should be formatted with inline-list templates."
WP:BOLD because, after all, "Fortune favours the bold."

4. End matter
  1. Succession boxes and geography boxes
  2. Other navigation footer templates (navboxes)^[7]

  6. Geographical coordinates (if not in the infobox) or {{coord missing}}
  7. Defaultsort

  9. {{Improve categories}} or {{Uncategorized}} (These can alternatively be placed with other maintenance templates before the article content)
  10. Stub templates

Notes

^ These templates can also be placed at the end of an article.
^ It is important that hatnotes and maintenance/dispute tags appear on the first page of the article. On the mobile site, the first paragraph of the lead section is moved above the infobox for the sake of readability. Since the infobox is generally more than one page long, putting hatnotes etc. after it will result in them being placed after the first page, making them less effective.
^ The original rationale for the ordering of the appendices is that, with the exception of "Works", sections which contain material outside Wikipedia (including "Further reading" and "External links") should come after sections that contain Wikipedia material (including "See also") to help keep the distinction clear. The sections containing notes and references often contain both kinds of material and, consequently, appear after the "See also" section (if any) and before the "Further reading" section (if any). Whatever the merits of the original rationale, there is now the additional factor that readers have come to expect the appendices to appear in this order.
^ There are several reasons why this section should appear as the last appendix section. So many articles have the "External links" section at the end that many people expect that. Some "External links" and "References" (or "Footnotes", etc.) sections are quite long, and when the name of the section is not visible on the screen, it could cause problems if someone meant to delete an external link, and deleted a reference citation instead. Keeping the "External links" last is also helpful to editors who patrol external links.
^ The primary purpose of this template is for when using Template:Portal would cause formatting problems.
^ While categories are entered on the editing page ahead of stub templates, they appear on the visual page in a separate box after the stub templates. One of the reasons this happens is that every stub template generates a stub category, and those stub categories appear after the "main" categories. Another is that certain bots and scripts are set up to expect the categories, stubs and interlanguage links to appear in that order, and will reposition them if they don't. Therefore, any manual attempt to change the order is futile unless the bots and scripts are also altered.
