<p>Localise template catalogue and editorial guidance for the independent wiki</p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>&#039;&#039;&#039;Citing sources&#039;&#039;&#039; provides local editorial guidance for the independent Elite Dangerous Wiki. Apply it alongside [[Project:Community standards|community standards]] and [[Project:Policies|existing local policies]].<br /> <br /> == Add a useful citation ==<br /> Place a reference immediately after the statement it supports, using &lt;code&gt;&lt;nowiki&gt;&lt;ref&gt;Source details&lt;/ref&gt;&lt;/nowiki&gt;&lt;/code&gt;. Include the title, publisher or author, publication date where available, a specific page or timestamp, and a working URL when relevant. Give the reader enough information to understand the source without opening an unexplained link.<br /> <br /> == Reference lists ==<br /> Use &lt;code&gt;&lt;nowiki&gt;&lt;references /&gt;&lt;/nowiki&gt;&lt;/code&gt; or an appropriate local reference-list template. Reuse named references rather than repeating the same citation text. Preview for missing reference names and error messages. For game observations, record version, date and method.<br /> <br /> == Reuse and attribution ==<br /> A citation supports a claim; it does not grant permission to copy text or media. Preserve imported contributor histories and each file&#039;s applicable credit and licence. The wiki-wide footer supplies the site&#039;s general attribution notice. See [[Project:Copyrights]] and [[Project:Reliable sources]].<br /> <br /> [[Project:Editorial guidance|Editorial guidance directory]]</div>
