====Sources====

If the article you are editing or creating requires sourcing from more than one page of the source (e.g. different pages of the same book), then the main source must be listed under the main footnote number as a normal (i.e. non-footnote template) number (e.g. "16"), and the individual pages or chapters listed under the same number ''with consecutive letters added'' with the proper footnote template (e.g. <nowiki>{{Endn|16a}}</nowiki>, <nowiki>{{Endn|16b}}</nowiki>, <nowiki>{{Endn|16c}}</nowiki>...). Note that the format to use in case of huge numbers of references to the same source runs first from for example ''1a'' trough to ''1z'', then from ''1aa'' to ''1zz", from ''1aaa'' to ''1zzz'' etc.

==Web site sourcingHow to deal with content missing citations=='''Note''': Due the ephemeral nature of websites and the unreliability of external website archiving solutions web sites as sources should be avoided wherever possible. I.e. please use paper If you encounter an article or e-format non-website publications instead if that is an option. If websites have to be used do note a sentence that only official [[Games Workshop]] (and subsidiaries or license holders) websites or official channels used by ''Games Workshop'' (and subsidiaries or license holders) on media portals or social media sites etc. can be used as needs a verifiable source. Do not link to third party websites illegally hosting copyrighted material. Also note or that only ''[[Wikipedia:Internet Archive|archive links]]'' are allowed to be listed as sources for files or in articles '''in conjunction''' with screenshots (see below). The reason for this is quite simple: websites (and thereby the cited insufficiently sources) constantly disappear (see also above)e. The only way to try to keep those sources accessible despite a potential removal is by using ''archive links'' from the [[Wikipedia: Wayback Machine|Wayback Machine]] or similarly well-established archiving projects '''and''' screenshotsg. ===Active sites===When citing has a active web sitewrong source, use does not contain the same process as citing any other allowed publication. This means that you must include an ''archive version'' exact location of an [[Warhammer 40k - Lexicanum:External link|External link]] containing the name of information within the webpage ''and'' of the specific sub-page used as source etc.) you should use first try to find a corresponding, valid source and as found (or saved by oneself) in the [[Wikipedia:Wayback Machine|Wayback Machine]]. Also do include the original link in case the archiving service ever is taken offline. This also applies for media portals or social media networks. If for example a date of posting was included you also have to include that in is not possible the ''exact'' form as given next step depends on the page. In the case nature of video or audio publications the precise position of the relevant part of the file must also be mentioned. Apart from the date of the archiving of the site you must also include a notation of when you viewed the site to use it as a source. '''Note:''' It is mandatory to work with [[Warhammer 40k - Lexicanumunsourced content in question:Internet Archive|archived links]] as active web sites can disappear from the Internet without warning or trace. For more details on how to use ''archived'' links see further down. ''Example 1:'':*{{Endn|12}}: [https://web.archive.org/web/20201126092400/https://www.games-workshop.com/en-EU/Titandeath-sb-2019 Games Workshop: Adeptus Titanicus: The Horus Heresy – Titandeath Campaign Book] ''(saved archive page, dated 26 November 2020, last accessed 14 March 2021, original link: https://www.games-workshop.com/en-EU/Titandeath-sb-2019)'' '''Code:'''<pre>*{{Endn|12}}: [https://web.archive.org/web/20201126092400/https://www.games-workshop.com/en-EU/Titandeath-sb-2019 Games Workshop: Adeptus Titanicus: The Horus Heresy – Titandeath Campaign Book] ''(saved archive page, dated 26 November 2020, last accessed 14 March 2021, original link: https://www.games-workshop.com/en-EU/Titandeath-sb-2019)''</pre> ''Example 2:'':*{{Endn|15}}: [https://web.archive.org/web/20200106121459/https://www.warhammer-community.com/2019/08/12/successor-chapter-showcase-paul-nortons-iron-ravensgw-homepage-post-1/ Warhammer Community: Successor Chapter Showcase: Paul Norton’s Iron Ravens (Posted 12/08/2019)] ''(saved archive page, dated 06 January 2020, last accessed 14 March 2021, original link: https://www.warhammer-community.com/2019/08/12/successor-chapter-showcase-paul-nortons-iron-ravensgw-homepage-post-1/)'' '''Code:'''<pre>*{{Endn|15}}: [https://web.archive.org/web/20200106121459/https://www.warhammer-community.com/2019/08/12/successor-chapter-showcase-paul-nortons-iron-ravensgw-homepage-post-1/ Warhammer Community: Successor Chapter Showcase: Paul Norton’s Iron Ravens (Posted 12/08/2019)] ''(saved archive page, dated 06 January 2020, last accessed 14 March 2021, original link: https://www.warhammer-community.com/2019/08/12/successor-chapter-showcase-paul-nortons-iron-ravensgw-homepage-post-1/)</pre>

Sometimes it is however impossible to avoid it, specifically when the removed website was the only source If in existence. In this case the citation has to be changed as follows:# Remove the link brackets <nowiki>[ ]</nowiki># Place <nowiki><nowiki></nowiki></nowiki> tags around the URL. This will keep it from becoming a link.# Add notation that the site is no longer active and not archiveddoubt, including discuss the last access date.# Mark inactive sources issue with the [[:Template:Replace citation|Replace citation template]] (<nowiki>{{Replace citation}}</nowiki>. An overview of inactive sources needing replacement can be found [[Special:WhatLinksHere/Template:Replace_citation|here]]. '''Example:''' :*{{Endn|14}}:{{Replace citation}} <nowiki>http://www.badabwar.com</nowiki> ''(site no longer online, no archived version found, last accessed 12 July 2006)'' '''Code:'''<pre>*{{Endn|14}}:<nowiki>{{Replace citation}}</nowiki> <nowiki><nowiki>http://www.badabwar.com</nowiki></nowiki> ''(site no longer online, no archived version foundfellow editors, last accessed 12 July 2006)''</pre> ===Inactive, archived sites===If a website has been removed from the internet there is a chance that an archived version of the site still exists, for example in the [http://web.archive.org/ Internet Archive] (also known simply as the ''[[Wikipedia:Wayback Machine|Wayback Machine]]'').

Older forms of citation in the ''Lexicanum'' included the manual use of superscript (<nowiki></nowiki>) and ''comment tags''. When encountered these outdated and outlawed citation styles should be immediately replaced by the current citation methoddescribed above. ==Non-officially recognized Trivia sources==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]]). '''Example:''' "At the [[Wikipedia:First Council of Nicaea|First Council of Nicaea]], in 325 AD [[Wikipedia:Constantine the Great|Constantine the Great]] — the first openly Christian Emperor of Rome - invited 1800 bishops to meet together for the first to time establish Christianity as a single consistent faith." '''Code:'''<pre><nowiki>At the [[Wikipedia:First Council of Nicaea|First Council of Nicaea]], in 325 AD [[Wikipedia:Constantine the Great|Constantine the Great]] — the first openly Christian Emperor of Rome - invited 1800 bishops to meet together for the first to time establish Christianity as a single consistent faith.</nowiki></pre>
