At the start of the language section, headers at level 3, in order:


 * Alternative spellings or Alternative forms
 * Etymology
 * Pronunciation

If there are multiple Etymologies, the other headers may be nested at level 4 at the start of the sections. The POS sections are then one level deeper than in the single Etymology case.

Then, at level 3, POS and POS-like sections, headers listed in WT:POS, in alphabetical order.

Within each POS section, the following headers at level 4, the order is preferred but not required (note that the ordering of Translations and Conjugation etc. is moot, they never occur in the same entry):


 * Usage notes (may also appear anywhere at any level if properly nested)
 * Quotations
 * Synonyms
 * Antonyms
 * other *nyms: Hypernyms, Hyponyms, Meronyms, Holonyms, Troponyms
 * Translations (may contain Translations to be checked at level 5)
 * Conjugation or Declension or Inflection
 * Descendants
 * Derived terms
 * Related terms

If and only if there is more than one POS and it is not known which POS to attribute terms to, the following headers may appear after the POS sections at level 3, at the end of the language section (or nested etymology section as appropriate to what is known):


 * Descendants
 * Derived terms
 * Related terms

Then, at level 3 at the end of the language section, in preferred order:


 * See also (may also appear at level 4 in a POS section if useful)
 * Dictionary notes
 * Anagrams
 * Trivia
 * References
 * External links


 * Notes


 * "Coordinate terms" is dropped: it is in ELE, but used in only one or two cases
 * Conjugation/Declension/Inflection are commonly used and useful in non-English entries, where tables can't fit on the headword/inflection line
 * There are additional level 4 headers used in POS sections for some languages, as permitted language variations (e.g. "Compounds" in Han character entries)
 * "Homophones" and "Hyphenation" in the Pronunciation section are just left out of this (different can of worms)
 * The format of "Descendants" is being taken up separately, that may also alter the preferred order
