Board Thread:Guidelines and Rules/@comment-24045678-20160526205320

In order to ensure the best quality in this site, I wish for all contributors to follow these three simply guidelines when creating or editing a wiki page.

1) Introduction Paragraph
Each and every article is required to have an introduction paragraph that gives a very brief summary on the details of the article. The first sentence in this article MUST also follow a certain format when being written. It follows as such: (Name of Article Title), (other names/titles), and (brief summary). So if I were to make an article for Khorne, it should follow as such:


 * "Khorne, known also as the Blood God, the Lord of Battles and the Hunter of Souls, is the Chaos God of War, Death, Courage, Rage, Strength and Hate."

2) Sections and Pictures
Articles that become too long can be divided into different sections or headings if a contributor wishes. There are no real rules for these other then that these articles need to be revelant to the article itself.

Pictures uploaded onto an article are required to take up NO MORE then half the given page and must be shown at the right side of the article. Pictures must be official work used by either GamesWorkshop, Fantasy Flight Games or any other company with the Warhammer license. Fan-art is not allowed unless used by either companies

3) Citations and Reliability
Since the Warhammer Fantasy universe is VERY deep and many parts of it have been either erased, replaced or retconned, it is considered of the uptmost importance that each article is cited accordingly in order to show to our viewers that the contents written is legitmate and up-to-date.

It is also important that we are as precise in our citations as we possibly can, and as such it is a requirement that every single piece of information within our wiki is cited by any Warhammer source material.

When citing an article page, each paragraph is required to have atleast one citation. These citations MUST be specified in the page number of the source material, not JUST the material itself. To do this, you MUST be in source editor and would have to use the Fn and Endn templates to do so.

Example:


 * "Deathclaw is the loyal and personal mount of Emperor Karl Franz of the Empire and reputated to be the mightest Griffon to have ever lived."

The sentence above is a direct qoute from the Empire 8th Edition Armybook and in order to cite it, you would have to first make a Source section at the very buttom of the Wiki where you would put all of your citations.

Example:

Example Section
*: Warhammer Armybook: Empire (8th Edition)
 * pg. 54

The above example section is an excellent examle of a proper citation source section. Remember, the [1] or citation is meant only for the title of the source material. You MUST use the [1a] or when you cite any piece of material in your article.


 * Deathclaw is the loyal and personal mount of Emperor Karl Franz of the Empire and reputated to be the mightest Griffon to have ever lived.
