<p>Localise template catalogue and editorial guidance for the independent wiki</p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>&#039;&#039;&#039;External links&#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 /> == Purpose ==<br /> External links should provide a useful primary source, supporting evidence or a genuinely relevant resource. Keep ordinary wiki navigation local. Do not send readers to another wiki&#039;s policy, login, editing or reporting workflow as though it were this wiki&#039;s own service.<br /> <br /> == Link responsibly ==<br /> Use descriptive labels and link directly to the relevant material. Avoid link shorteners, tracking parameters and promotional duplication. An external link is not an endorsement, and an off-site copy of this wiki is not independent evidence. Where possible, retain enough citation detail to identify a source if its URL later changes.<br /> <br /> == Missing local content ==<br /> A redlink can identify work still to be done. Create an accurate local page or a meaningful local redirect rather than hiding a missing topic behind an unrelated destination. Legitimate source citations and file-provenance records remain distinct from navigation dependencies.
