All cards are automatically placed in the Category:Card category. They will also be placed in the categories for each category#= line. The actual category name used will have " Card" appended to the name given after the = sign. Delete any lines that do not apply.

After you have entered all of the information for the card, click the Save page button.

NOTE: Do NOT type anything after the </includeonly> line at the end of the boilerplate text. If you type anything there, that text will appear everywhere the card is referenced (e.g. where the Deck, Parley and CardImage templates are used).

If you want to add something to the page that you cannot enter in the notes= line, you should insert it immediately above or below the {{CardDetails|{{PAGENAME}}}} line.
