			===Page Names===
			*Family-based groups will have the page name Fancypants family.

			*'''Sanction''': [[:Category:Official orders]] or [[:Category:Unofficial organizations]]
			*'''Status''': [[:Category:Active organizations]] or [[:Category:Inactive organizations]]
			*'''Function''': choose at least one of the following:
			:#[[:Category:Player families]]: groups are those that are defined by familial bonds (whether biological, adoptive, or marital), often sharing a common last name
			:#[[:Category:Martial organizations]]: for militias and mercenary groups
			:#[[:Category:Service organizations]]: groups that exist to sell or provide goods or services
			:#[[:Category:Cultural organizations]]: groups that promote particular cultures, religious beliefs, and/or political ideologies (this includes race-based groups such as S'Kra Mur [[ru'at]]). This category may serve as a catch-all for groups that do not fit into the above three functions.
			*'''Location''': if the group is sanctioned by a provincial government or only operates within a particular province, choose one of the following:
			:#[[:Category:Zoluren organizations]]
			:#[[:Category:Therengia organizations]]
