==Sections==
One should generally attempt to keep section names consistent across similar articles. Some common section names used on this wiki include:
* '''Explanation''' – provides a more in-depth explanation of a trick than is possible in the intro paragraph.
* '''Execution''' – describes the exact steps required to perform a trick or glitch.
* '''Methods''' – lists various possible methods of performing a trick. Generally used as a replacement for Execution rather than alongside it; if both should coexist, Variants should be used instead of Methods.
* '''Variants''' – lists additional, less common methods of performing a trick beyond the main one found in the Execution section.
* '''Uses''' – lists various applications of a trick or glitch.
* '''Speedrun usage''' – lists the applications of the trick or glitch to various speedruns, often with each speedrun or group of speedruns listed as a subcategory. Generally used as a replacement for Uses rather than alongside it; if the Uses section already exists, consider listing speedruns as subcategories of that instead.
