== How can I contribute ==
 +
The ''Lexicanum'' as a wiki is a collaborative effort. This also means that it can only exist and thrive if people are willing to help to maintain, improve and expand it. At first the prospect of editing might seem like a daunting task to you - but don't worry about this, you can contribute to the Lexicanum in many ways, there are tasks suited to all levels of expertise and amount of time you have at your disposal. People who don't want or can't expand articles could for example help out in the essential mission to correct spelling or grammar mistakes or improve the writing style. You can find more suggestions of such "easy" (but as said nevertheless very necessary tasks) [[Warhammer 40k - Lexicanum:Easy tasks|here]].
  
== How can I serve? ==
+
Should you decide to become an active member of the ''Lexicanum'' team the first thing you will have to do is to [[Warhammer 40k - Lexicanum:Request account|request an account]] (you will find all necessary information under this link). To avoid all potential misunderstandings: If you only want to ''read'' the Lexicanum you don't need an account. This is only necessary if you want to become an [[Warhammer 40k - Lexicanum:Editor|Editor]]. Requesting this absolutely free account obviously does not mean you have to edit, it is and always will be entirely up to you if and how much you want to contribute.
After looking around in the Lexicanum, have a look at the [[Lexicanum:Help|help pages]], who will teach you step by step how to use this wiki. For trying out we recommend the [[Lexicanum:Immaterium|Immaterium]].
 
  
Also, if you can think of a topic you would like to see but can't find, put it at the [[Lexicanum:Requested articles|Requested articles]] list. Please note that this website is for GW official fiction only.
+
Should you have decided to join the ''Lexicanum'' team we invite you to familiarize yourself with the rules and tools of the ''Lexicanum''. They can be found [[Warhammer 40k - Lexicanum:Help|here]]. There is also a place where you can play around and test out things like the wiki formating - the so-called [[Warhammer 40k - Lexicanum:Immaterium|Immaterium]]. Once you feel ready to edit articles, the best way is to choose one or more topics you feel most comfortable with or interested in and start contributing in a way you feel is suited to your skills and time.
  
{|class="navtemplate"
+
As mentioned there is a number of rules for editing articles that you will learn over time. The first and most important rule you should learn however immediately is the following:
|[[Image:Lexicanum symbol.jpg|left|100px|]]
 
|'''WARNING:'''
 
<font color="white">Any and all changes to the content of articles (except spelling) that are not marked with a correct '''source''' and '''footnote''' will be reverted or deleted. New articles without proper sourcing will also be deleted. See how to include sources [[Template:Howtosource|here]]. Save yourself the frustration of having your contribution removed and us a lot of work! In addition not following this rule will result in the removal of the offender from the Lexicanum.</font>
 
<br>
 
|[[Image:Lexicanum symbol.jpg|right|100px|]]
 
|}
 
  
Please also note: Lexicanum is a place for '''official canon information''' only. You are only allowed to include your own fan-made armies on your user page (and nowhere else) after you have made at least 100 useful contributions concerning official canon information on the Lexicanum.

How can I contribute

The Lexicanum as a wiki is a collaborative effort. This also means that it can only exist and thrive if people are willing to help to maintain, improve and expand it. At first the prospect of editing might seem like a daunting task to you - but don't worry about this, you can contribute to the Lexicanum in many ways, there are tasks suited to all levels of expertise and amount of time you have at your disposal. People who don't want or can't expand articles could for example help out in the essential mission to correct spelling or grammar mistakes or improve the writing style. You can find more suggestions of such "easy" (but as said nevertheless very necessary tasks) here.

Should you decide to become an active member of the Lexicanum team the first thing you will have to do is to request an account (you will find all necessary information under this link). To avoid all potential misunderstandings: If you only want to read the Lexicanum you don't need an account. This is only necessary if you want to become an Editor. Requesting this absolutely free account obviously does not mean you have to edit, it is and always will be entirely up to you if and how much you want to contribute.

Should you have decided to join the Lexicanum team we invite you to familiarize yourself with the rules and tools of the Lexicanum. They can be found here. There is also a place where you can play around and test out things like the wiki formating - the so-called Immaterium. Once you feel ready to edit articles, the best way is to choose one or more topics you feel most comfortable with or interested in and start contributing in a way you feel is suited to your skills and time.

As mentioned there is a number of rules for editing articles that you will learn over time. The first and most important rule you should learn however immediately is the following:
