Some simple stuff.
Pages are written in Markdown. You can find out what Markdown is at http://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/.
http://dillinger.io/ has an excellent real time Markdown editor for getting a feel for the syntax.
Guidelines
Don't delete older tricks
There are too many reasons to list them all, but one of the biggest reasons is that having a variety of ways to complete a task will make it easier for a novice to get into speedrunning a game.
Move more relevant tricks toward the top of a page
If a new trick comes out that runners are more likely to use in speedruns, bingos, etc. list it first.
Always use short, descriptive headings; Do not number sections
If you're listing all the possible tricks/strategies to complete some task, do not start every heading with "Method 1...", "Method 2..." etc, or worse, simply refer to a trick as being "Method 1", "Method 2" etc. There absolutely no need for this, it looks terrible in the Navigation menu, and it needlessly makes it more difficult to re-arrange things. If you find a page that does this, fix it.
Use headings appropriately
Do not add To Do's to pages
Especially uncommented ones. If you want something done to a page but can't do it yourself, post about it in this sub-forum and maybe someone will help.
Capitalization Guidelines
Capitalize the name of tricks, npcs, items, places. Standard capitalization for N64 buttons:
A button, B button, C buttons, Z/L button, R button,
C-Up, C-Right, C-Down, C-Left, D-Pad, Joystick

Use headings appropriately
- Always start off at the ## or <h2> heading level when starting a topic (ex. Explaining a challenge), moving up to ### or <h3> and #### or <h4> when discussing a more specific aspect of the topic (ex. ### for a specific trick, #### for different variations on a specific trick)
- Do not use the # or <h1> heading level.
- The ###### or <h6> header is used for giving credit to a source for a trick or information
- Do not use ## or <h2> tags just because you want a header to appear in the Navigation menu. That way if we ever improve the Navigation menu, we won't have to correct pages
Do not add To Do's to pages
