 I will include how-tos for editing the messages and a list of what the template message expect for if you want to edit them.

+## Discord Tagging
+
+Unless special circumstance (council), I would like to bot to just provide ids rather than a formatted string to tag
+things correctly. Here is how you can format your messages correctly to tag stuff.
+
+- Users: <@id_goes_here>
+- Roles: <@&id_goes_here>
+- Channels: <#id_goes_here>
+
+## Formatting and emotes
+
+If you need a special format (bold) or an emoji, the best way to get it is to type the message exactly how you want
+it to look like in discord and then right click `copy text`. This will give you exactly what needs to be types to
+show a message how you would like.
+
+## Template message placeholders
+
+Placeholders are used to insert information that changes with each election (currently). It can also represent
+information that needs to be gathered at the time of creating/updating the message (once messages not used in eleciton
+cycle are added.) All placeholders must be between brackets: {}. If you would like to add a new placeholder, let me
+know.
+
