+==========================
+Trivia List Creation Guide
+==========================
+
+The Trivia cog allows you to create your own "trivia lists", 
+which are then processed in the cog - allowing you to create as
+many questions as you'd like, with easy to use syntax.
+
+---------------
+Getting Started
+---------------
+
+Let's start off by creating a file named ``mytrivia.yaml``.
+Our trivia list will be named after the file, so in this case,
+it will be called ``mytrivia``.
+
+------------
+Author Field
+------------
+
+We should first include an ``AUTHOR`` field,
+to let the user know who wrote the questions.
+
+When the user starts the trivia, the author(s) will
+be sent in the starting message (see below).
+
+.. image:: .resources/trivia/trivia_author.png
+
+The following should be placed at the top of your file, replacing "Red" 
+with your name:
+
+.. code-block:: yaml
+
+    AUTHOR: Red
+
+If there are multiple authors, we can separate them with commas.
+
+.. code-block:: yaml
+
+    AUTHOR: Red, Rojo, Rouge
+
+---------------------
+Questions and Answers
+---------------------
+
+Writing questions and answers is simple. Once you've finished your
+``AUTHOR`` field, you can move on to your questions just below.
+
+Questions should consist of at least one answer, with other
+possible answers included if necessary. You must put a colon at the end 
+of the question, for example:
+
+.. code-block:: yaml
+
+    How many days are there in a regular year?:
+
+Answers will follow below, each separated by a line break and with a
+hyphen at the start of the line.
+
+.. code-block:: yaml
+
+    How many days are there in a regular year?:
+    - 365
+    - three hundred and sixty five
+
+It's always nice to include alternative answers if a question needs it. 
+We can add as many valid answers as we'd like below this question. Answers
+are **NOT** case sensitive, so you don't need to worry about adding the same
+answer multiple times in different casings.
+
+There are multiple special characters in YAML, such as colons, hashtags, hyphens
+and more. If these characters are included within our questions or answers,
+you'll need to enclose the content with quotation marks.
+
+.. code-block:: yaml
+
+    "Who is the #1 followed user on Twitter?":
+
+If we didn't have these quotation marks, the question would not render.
+
+.. code-block:: yaml
+
+    Who is the #1 followed user on Twitter?:
+
+.. tip::
+
+    We can also include line breaks within our questions by using ``\n``, like
+    this for example:
+
+    .. code-block:: yaml 
+
+        "My first line\nMy second line":
+
+As you've added more questions, your file should look something like this:
+
+.. code-block:: yaml
+
+    AUTHOR: Red
+    How many days are there in a regular year?:
+    - 365
+    - three hundred and sixty five
+    "Who is the #1 followed user on Twitter?":
+    - Barack Obama
+    - Obama
+    What is the only sea without any coasts?:
+    - Sargasso
+    - Sargasso Sea
+    Who won the Premier League in 2015?:
+    - Chelsea
+    - chelsea f.c.
+    How much money is a US Olympic gold medalist awarded?:
+    - $25,000
+    - 25,000
+    - 25k
+    - 25000
+    - $25000
+
+You can keep adding questions until you are satisfied, and then you can upload and
+play your very own trivia! See :ref:`here <trivia-command-triviaset-custom>` for more details.
+
+Still stuck? Take a look at 
+`the core trivia lists <https://github.com/Cog-Creators/Red-DiscordBot/tree/V3/develop/redbot/cogs/trivia/data/lists>`_
+for reference.
