But keep in mind that the full-sized image still needs to load, so if this method is overused it will slowdown the suburb wikipage's load time. So please use a scaled-down group icon in the long term.

If these are no historic groups within a suburb, this section will not appear.

Guidelines

  1. Each group category is its own list, and each list of groups should be sorted in alphabetical order.
  2. Group names must be links to the wiki pages for those groups. They shouldn't link to other articles (e.g. buildings or other locations), nor should they just be plain text.
  3. When "a", "an", or "the" are at the start of a group name, ignore them for purposes of alphabetization. E.g. "The Burchell Arms Regulars" would come before "Malton Police Department" since "B" comes before "M".
  4. Always include a group icon. If the group currently does not have a group icon, use the [[Image:NoGroupIcon.jpg|25px]] icon instead. It looks like this: NoGroupIcon.jpg
  5. The group icon should always be scaled to 25x25 or smaller. In the case that an image is larger include the |25px]] to scale it down to a reasonable size (it's height must still be 25px or less).
  6. If the group name is too long (i.e. wraps below the group icon) consider using an acronym (e.g. "Department of Emergency Management" = "D.E.M.")
  7. If your group is a member group of a larger organization (i.e. DEM) be sure to add it below that organization header even if it is the only group from that organization in the suburb.
  8. Place <big></big> tags around group organization names (e.g. DEM), as well as bolding the text so that it stands out. Unlike groups an organization does not require a group icon before its name.
