The basicWiki guidelines should be followed normally.The and serve as good models.

The introduction sentence should include what type of pier it is, what it spans (river, lake, ocean, etc.), and where it is located:

'''pier''' is a [[pier type]] that spans [[body of water/land]] between [[city, state]] and [[city, state]]. (Notableinformation here, like if it's oldest/tallest/largest of its type). It was built in [[year]] by [[agency responsible for construction]] and was designed by [[notable engineer or firm]].

Please upload media toWikimedia Commons so that it can be used across all Wikipedia projects easily. If there are many pictures agallery at the bottom of the page is an option to consider.

Template:Infobox pier is the preferred template and works best for users if it is at the top of the page.

The article should be included in the category for the type of pier that it is (exampleCategory:Amusement Piers). It should also contain a category based on location, such asCategory:Piers in the United Kingdom

There has been much discussion atWikipedia talk:Categorization and onthis talk page about the best way to organize articles within categories. For this project we will place all pier articles in a category based on location (by nation for countries not yet with a lot of Pier articles where subdivision hasn't happened (Category:Piers in Japan), or small countries with relatively few Piers (Category:Piers in Singapore)), or states/provinces for larger countries (Category:Piers in New York (state)).

• Template:Infobox pier is the preferred infobox for individual Piers. There are instructions on how to use it on the template page.
