* For '''e-book''' formats pagenumbers are not "fixed", therefore in this case '''chapter numbers''' are acceptable. Do note that the names of authors are ''not'' included in the citations.

* For '''video and audio publications''' it also has to be mentioned where exactly in the file the information is to be found, i.e. for example providing a '''timestamp''' and if available and applicable chapter or similar information.

* For '''videogames''' (no matter the format or platform) it is compulsory to provide a '''screenshot''' (for statically displayed information) or '''screen recording''' (for information that is transmitted by audio). Note that all screenshots/ screen recordings should be collected on a single main source article page (i.e. for the videogame in question) and be clearly sorted and designated.

*For physical '''Collectible card games''' and similar sources it is compulsory to upload an image of the specific source used. Note that all these sub-sources should be collected on a single main source article page (i.e. for the game in question) and be clearly sorted and designated.

Do also note that for '''images''' the exactly corresponding source must be given, i.e. from which official source an image was taken ''as it appears'' or from which it ''was modified for use in the Lexicanum'' (the nature of the modification must also be mentioned in the corresponding image file). It is not allowed to merely use a source that only shows a ''similar'' image (for example to cite a novel cover as the source for the image if the original artwork used for the Lexicanum is clearly larger than the one used for the novel cover). Also do note that an '''explicit source for the actual subject''' of the image is required. This means you cannot simply assume/ interprete/ extrapolate that for example a person on a novel cover actually is the title character of said novel unless it is specifically stated in an official source or undisputable elements of the picture show this (e.g. the character's name on a banner or an inscription on the armour etc.) ''or'' there is really, really, really no doubt whatsoever. The latter case can normally only be argued for extremely well-known and depicted characters, such as the [[Emperor of Mankind|Emperor]] or the [[Primarch]]s.

There is '''one''' exception where footnotes should not be used: For the [[:Template:Trivia|Trivia sections]] sources that are not officially recognized game or lore ressources the relevant sources should be formatted as [[Lexicanum:External Linking|direct external links to the source]] of the "Trivia" item (see also [[Warhammer_40k_-_Lexicanum:Allowed_content#References.2C_inspirations.2C_.22real_world.22_information|here]]).
