	Newly created accounts cannot make large edits or add hyperlinks. This is to combat spam and vandalism. If you're trying to make a large edit and encountering this problem, make a series of smaller edits, saving in-between, until you are no longer considered a new user. It's a good idea to save large changes to a text file on your computer, so your work isn't lost in case of problems.		Newly created accounts cannot make large edits, add hyperlinks, or upload images.

	===Writing Style===		===Writing Style===
	Use an encyclopedic style with a formal tone instead of essay-like, instructive, or opinionated writing. Wiki articles should have a straightforward, just-the-facts style. The goal is to present the facts, and let the reader decide how to use them. Ideally all information should be cited using references and verifiable by anyone, particularly those with access to the game's data files and/or game code.

			===Trivia===
			Trivia sections should not be used to describe an item's possible reference to other media or real-world items/events. Trivia such as "this item resembles..." or "this item may have been inspired by..." should be avoided.

			Where relationships exist between Stardew Valley content and other content, a trivia item can be added, if the trivia item also includes a reference to a public document containing [[ConcernedApe]]'s confirmation of the relationship.
