From Warhammer 40k - Lexicanum

:::Replacing one legitimate source that is in addition correctly sourced with another counts as (unintentional for now) [[Warhammer_40k_-_Lexicanum:Vandalism#Unintentional_vandalism|vandalism]]. Also have a very close look at [[Warhammer_40k_-_Lexicanum:Trivia#Special_case:_Conflicting_sources_.28aka_.22Canon_conflicts.22.29|What to do in case of conflicting sources]] and what the Help section says about [[Warhammer_40k_-_Lexicanum:Accepted_sources|sources]] - especially the passage "We are aware that even accepted sources might contradict each other, but within the Lexicanum there is no "hierarchy of sources" - i.e. no accepted source is considered more valid than another official source. More recent sources do however take precedence over older sources. This does however not mean that the old information is considered "wrong" and non-acceptable and has to be deleted altogether - this is definitely not the case! It is an explicit goal of the Lexicanum to also reflect potentially outdated information - with appropriate disclaimers and explanations. For the general problem of the concept of "canon" see further on where this is discussed." --[[User:Inquisitor S.|Inquisitor S., Großmeister des Ordo Lexicanum]] ([[User talk:Inquisitor S.|talk]]) 07:30, 19 April 2020 (UTC)
:::: Considering the information should be present on the page in some capacity in that case, and the page has been simply reverted instead of updated with the new information, can someone with a more veteran status within the community make the addition so I can have a first hand observation on what would constitute a better way to display the information that has since been deleted? I do not wish to edit it further if I have made a mistake already, and would appreciate the help. --[[User: Volphy|Volphy]] 03:41, 5 May 2020 (UTC)
