Multiple results
The general rule is to prove only one result per page. Proofs with multiple results have to be refactored. Equivalence proofs are an exception to this rule. In order to maintain an overview of related results, a page called Properties of (Something) can be created, with multiple results (but not the proofs) transcluded.

Lemmas
Lemmas that do not otherwise merit their own page, are put on a subpage of the proof page. They are transcluded below the "Proof" section heading and followed by a horizontal line:

...

Second transcluded lemma
The rest of the proof.

For information about transclusion, see Help:Transclusion.

Corollaries
Corollaries are treated like lemmas, but are transcluded right before the "Proof" section heading.

Q.E.D

 * For the mathematical context, see Definition:Q.E.D.

A proof is concluded using the qed template, which produces: $\blacksquare$
