	It's also good practice to avoid putting too much information on a page that is duplicated elsewhere. For example, each individual Rune page (e.g [[Hvísla Rune]], [[Sjón Rune]] etc) does not contain information about how Runes work generally. Instead the [[Runes]] page is linked from here. This means that if ever Rune mechanics change, we only have to update one place and not find every mention of how Runes work on the wiki.
