- I just used the most recent example I could find, but a search indicates that Template:StoryArc has the vast majority of uses, including documentation.

- I don't even know why you're using a template. You can put the mission articles in the contact article without an intermediary step (see Heather Townshend).
- Also, according to the discussion on the forums, Theoden's missions should be "Blind Faith (Theoden) - Part One: blahblah". ~ AGGE talk/cons 18:10, 18 March 2012 (UTC)
