Created - that was hard work fixing these links plus translating etc. i'm sticking with warhammer pages...
Lexicanum is a joint project with the goal of creating as complete an encyclopdia of the Warhammer universes as possible.

To work on Lexicanum, you '''must''' follow the guidelines below.

Questions can be asked on the discussion pages at [[Lexicanum:Open Discussion]].


== Guidelines ==

* '''No Infringement on copyright:''' The publication of text or pictures without permission of the rightful owner can lead to serious problems for the project. This is especially relevent to Games Workshop and the [[GW Copyright|patent rights regulations]] are here.

* '''Lexicanum is an encyclopedia:''' Lexicanum should be used to develop an encyclopedia. It is not a dictionary or fan site, and is not a carrior for business interests.

* '''Respect other users:''' The participents of Lexicanum come from many different places and backgrounds and often have a different point of view.

* '''Neutrality:''' The neutral point of view tries to present ideas in a way that both those who agree with, and disagree with, can accept the way it is written. It does not demand the acceptance of all, as some ideologies reject all points other than their own. Therefore, the goal should be to create a place where all rational ideas can be collected together in a presentable way.

*'''Categories:''' In order to keep the encyclopedia clear from the beginning, we have created some categories. Whether they are all sensible will show in time. It is highly reccomended however to use the categories provided and then change them later. The location of the category link should always be at the bottom of the article.

*'''Orthography:''' Lexicanum does not commit itself to old or new spelling rules. Both are to be respected. The author who wrote the article follows their set of rules and as such subsequent changes must follow the same sets. This avoids having different spellings throughout one article.

'''Further reference points:'''
* Summary tips ![[LEXICANUM:Zusammenfassung|Zusammenfassung]]!.
* Rules for pictures ![[LEXICANUM:Bilder|Bildern]]!.
* New article naming conventions ![[LEXICANUM:Namenskonventionen|Namenskonventionen]]! – they help to identify the article.

== Who is going to enforce these rules? ==

'''You''' are a Lexicanum editor making you effectivly an editor-in-chief. Active members look at [[Special:Recentchanges|recent changes]] and correct the contents and format. Each participent is at the same time an author and editor.
