I used a bit of referencing to the other Clans in my Clan's history, so if that isn't alright, (I didn't directly mention one), I can change the backstory of the Clan. I'll be posting the information about the Clan later today! (Along with some terrible formatting since I've never done BBCode!)

I imagine it'll be fine... they're all supposed to mesh together as it is.
As for the coding, you can use the layout I have and just insert your info. I can recolor it as needed, or teach you how to, if you don't already know haha. We should really all use similar layouts when we publish the finished Clans anyways, even if they don't end up being exactly the same.

[Forest]Clan
Possible names = ThicketClan, ThistleClan, TimberClan, WoodClan.
This Clan started out as a Clan made up of rogues that would ransack other cats and loners that would pass by their territory. In the beginning, they weren’t even a Clan, and their feet weren’t even guided by StarClan. The cats were horrible to each other, fighting over food and leaving kits to freeze to death. None of the cats saw the problem in this, as they thought it was the natural way to live. They hadn’t ever been around real Clan life, and never experienced the organized way Clans live.
After a visit to a neighboring Clan, a young cat (who would have been considered an apprentice), began to see what was wrong with the way that her band of rogues were living. They fought and lived in chaos constantly. This cat confronted the “Clan” in which many of the older cats, including her parents, concluded that she be exiled as a punishment for “plotting against the greater good”.
However, this cat had several other young cats join her, in which they fled to the nearby clan that (insert name) had visited prior. They lived there for several moons, earning their warrior names before they convinced the clan to help overthrow the rogue band that lived in the forest. (insert name) told of her ways to make the area and “clan” into a real clan that would follow the paws of StarClan, as she had learned to believe in the ancestors while she lived in the neighbor Clan.
With that, she convinced the cats of the clan to overthrow the rogues. It was a risky fight, and one that lost a lot of lives, but soon, the rogues were driven out of the forest territory. (insert name) was the first leader of the (insert clan name), where she’s named after it.
(This can be altered, it was kind of just me throwing an idea on to paper, oops!)
About [Forest]Clan
Cats of (insert clan name) are split between being loyal to StarClan and completely ignoring it. This is due to the heritage of the Clan where the rogues lived, where some cats side with the original founder of (insert clan mate) while other accept clan ways but think that StarClan is fake. They won’t admit this to other Clans, though. They are perfect on the outside, yet extremely flawed on the inside. They are obnoxious towards other Clans because they think they’re the best, but aren’t afraid to ask for help if they think it will give them an advantage. They are very smart cats that are deceptive.

》Defend your Clan, even with your life. You may have friendships with cats from other Clans, but your loyalty must remain to your Clan, as one day you may meet them in battle.
》 Do not hunt or trespass on another Clan's territory.
》Elders, queens, and kits must be fed before apprentices and warriors. Unless they have permission, apprentices may not eat until they have hunted to feed the elders. If any warrior or apprentice is sick or injured, they may eat while the elders, queens, and kits are eating.
》Prey is killed only to be eaten. Give thanks to StarClan for its life.
》A kit must be at least six moons old to become an apprentice.
》Newly appointed warriors will keep a silent vigil for one night after receiving their warrior name.
》A cat cannot be made deputy without having mentored at least one apprentice.
》The deputy will become Clan leader when the leader dies, retires or is exiled.
》After the death or retirement of the deputy, the new deputy must be chosen before moonhigh.
》A Gathering of all four Clans is held at the full moon during a truce that lasts for the night. There shall be no fighting among Clans at this time.
》Boundaries must be checked and marked daily. Challenge all trespassing cats.
》No warrior can neglect a kit in pain or danger, even if the kit is from a different Clan.
》The word of the Clan leader is the warrior code.
》An honorable warrior does not need to kill other cats to win their battles, unless they are outside the warrior code or if it is necessary for self-defense.
》A warrior rejects the soft life of a kittypet.
》Each Clan has the right to be proud and independent, but in times of trouble they must forget their boundaries and fight side by side to protect the four. Each Clan must help the others so that no Clan will fall.
Territory & Camp
A large, open forest that has several shaded spots, perfect for perfecting the hunting of silence and not being seen. 》The Lost Circle A spot deep in the forests where many young cats get lost in. It's an open spot where several trees surround it, making it hard to remember which direction the cats came from. It is commonly visited by warriors and elders for secret meetings, and is used to plot.
》 Snow Path - A path that isn't covered by trees, leading to a narrow, winding twoleg den. This path is often never messed with, though is a very beautiful site in the leaf-bare season when snow covers the ground.
》The Old Root A large redwood tree seated in the far west of the Clan's territory that has a very large root sticking up from the ground. This is a very abundant source of prey for this Clan, though it holds many snakes that the cats are afraid of.
》The Burned Branches - A certain spot in the forest where a forestfire struck and burned down many of the trees here. All that remains is a small part of shriveled undergrowth and branches laying on the ground. The smell is putrid, reeking of rotting wood.
》The Mole Field - A field in the forest infested with moles and other rodents, where holes are burrowed in the ground. It's theorized that there are tunnels underneath these holes that the rodents dug, though no cat ever really ventures here as they're afraid the ground might fall out from underneath them.
The Clan is nestled in the center of the forest territory that they live in, shaded by the large tree branches.
》The leader's den....
》The warriors' den....
》The apprentices' den....
》The nursery....
》The elders' den....
》The medicine den....

I looked at what y'all both have as history and it looks like maybe a good way to do it would be that AlgaeClan in AlgaeClan's history when it talks about making "peace" with the rogue forest cats, it's talking about the part in the forest Clan's history when it says that they solicited help from the neighboring Clan to overthrow the violent rogue leader. So like, the order of events might be something like the island cats and forest cats are both rogue groups that fight a lot -> the island cats start to organize into a more peaceful system -> the founder of the forest Clan thinks the forest cats should do the same, is cast out, joins with AlgaeClan (which may not be a full-fledged "Clan" yet but is getting there) -> that cat convinces the cats of the new AlgaeClan that the forest cats need the same system, convinces them to help overthrow the violent leader -> the forest Clan is formed.
Then, many, many moons later, the farm cats come along and start learning medicine and become SeedClan (I think that's the name I'm going with).
So, the only Clan without a name now is the forest Clan.

Yea, that history tid-bit sounds good.
As for the names, at the top of my post with the Clan history, territory, etc, I put some. They were ThicketClan, ThistleClan, TimberClan, and WoodClan. But I definitely do like GroveClan and LushClan as well! What does everyone else think?

Well, if we're going with plant-based names like 𝗟𝗢𝗨𝗜𝗘〡𝑟𝑦𝑜 𝑎𝑠𝑢𝑘𝑎 𝑚𝑢𝑡𝑢𝑎𝑙 had mentioned, then ThistleClan might be your best bet. ThicketClan I don't think quite fits with the territory, since it's fairly open and not real dense (a thicket being a dense clump of trees and underbrush). TimberClan could also serve that purpose, since it technically involves plants, but it's less direct. GroveClan is good but I think there's already a GroveClan going around if I remember correctly, and LushClan doesn't really fit the theme, even though it sounds great. So, make of that analysis what you will haha.
Oh yeah, a few more questions while I'm thinking about it....
1. Sacred place and Gathering place. We still have yet to decide on one. Obviously, the gathering place is probably gonna be somewhere where the Clans' territories all come together, or else where the forest Clan and AlgaeClan's territories meet. I imagine it's most likely somewhere on the edge of the lake- maybe even the abandoned lighthouse that is on AlgaeClan territory? The sacred place could be in the same area, or it could be another area that the cats have to travel to.
2. Season. Kind of a weird question, but it's good to know what season we're starting in A) so that one Clan doesn't, for example, try to start mid-leafbare while another is in greenleaf, but B) and more importantly, because our main plot ties into the seasons. I vote that we start in mid or late greenleaf, giving the rp some time to gather members and settle in a little bit, and then move to leaf-fall when the fields are being harvested and the other Clans are starting to hunt on the shared territory. That way we can start working in the main conflict quickly, but not right out of the gate.
3. Joint joining page or just let people join on the Clan pages? I'm fine with either.
4. Border page. Often times I like to use the Gathering page as a border page (so like, if you're playing a border patrol and want there to be a possibility for some drama, rp on the border page so other border patrols can find them, and such), but we could also make a separate border page, or eliminate the idea entirely.
5. Banners. I think I'm gonna go ahead and make some pawprint banners just because that's the least effort for me. I'll do some examples but let me know if you want changes.

I made multiple versions of the "ThistleClan" one with a few different names but for the moment I only uploaded the one for an example. Let me know what you guys think.

Coolio!
1. I think that the lighthouse would be a very good idea and a good meeting place for all the Clans. I feel like that would be something that could be a cool bit of history, like the Clan founders (or one of the Clans founders) were about to collapse and give up, and then the lighthouse shone? I'm not sure, but that could be not only an interesting history, but also could provide conflict in the future when tensions are high. (Because, like, I think AlgaeClan was the earliest Clan, and the question could arise about why the Clans "sacred place" was only sacred to AlgaeClan).
2. I vote mid-greenleaf. It gives us a bit of time to build up tensions/Clans, and there don't need to be too many conflicts at the start.
3. Joint joining page.
4. I like the idea of having them on the gathering page!
5. Absolutely love the ThistleClan pawprint!
Reminder that I won't be on this weekend, so I'll see everyone soon!

apologies for near silence lol. i've been watching and paying attention i promise!!
1) i love the lighthouse as the gathering place. it's really unique and i think would... probably fit lots of cats lol. i think the sacred place should be elsewhere though i don't really know where
2) i think mid-greenleaf is good as well!! so like about julyish.
3) joint joining page for sure.
4) i think the gathering and border page should probably be the same just to keep things less-cluttered.
5)i love the paw prints. algaeclans looks so good !!
sorry that's nothing really new or anything, but i thought i should jot down my thoughts haha.

Sounds like we're all in agreement then. I guess it's just a matter of figuring out the sacred place and finally, setting up the pages. I can set up the Gathering and joining page, unless either of you want to. Shouldn't matter all that much who does since we shouldn't have to change much on it once they're up lol.
