Toth.jpg Welcome, new adept of the LEXICANUM!

Hi there and welcome. It's nice to see new faces around!
A great place to start, if you are new to wikis, is the
Getting started tutorial (incomplete yet),
help pages and guidelines. Especially learn how to source correctly.
If you have any further questions please contact a Sysop.
You are also invited to have a look at the Forum.
Most of all however, please enjoy your time here :)
Otherwise, see you around the site!

To answer your questions (though I don't remember your case - I deleted the first Hive Guard article on December last year, as it was a direct copy from the website): articles need categories, internal links and, most of all, sourcing.--Lexstealer, Magus 02:20, 4 February 2010 (UTC)

See my talk page, but Genestealer is right, your article was lacking everything. --Inquisitor S., Großmeister des Ordo Lexicanum 12:38, 4 February 2010 (UTC)

How to add sources



It is compulsory to add official sources for ANY change or addition of information!

The new text has to be marked with a footnote.

Example:

new text{{C|1}}

This footnote is then referenced under "Sources" at the end of the article:

Example:

==Sources==

*{{C|1}}: [[Codex XY]], p. xx

Please note that it is absolutely compulsory to include pagenumbers (in the case of novels chapter numbers)!

If you are referencing different pages/ chapters from the same source the source itself is marked with a number, the individual pages or chapters by letters:

Example:

new text{{C|1: p. xy}} ... new text{{C|1: p. yz}}
==Sources==

*{{C|1}}: [[Codex XY]]:

In the case of novels, no pagenumbers should be given (they vary between translations and print runs). In this case chapternumbers are compulsory.

Example:

new text{{C|1: ch. xy}} ... new text{{C|1: ch. yz}}
==Sources==

*{{C|1}}: [[XY (Novel)]]:

Please first test this function in the Lexicanum:Immaterium.
