==General remarks==
*In general sources must contain the exact '''title''' of the source as it appears on the ''Lexicanum'' (pay attention to not link to [[Warhammer 40k - Lexicanum:Redirect|redirects]] but to the correct target article) and the '''exact location of the information within the source'''. What this means in practice depends on the source type and is explained in the respective subpage of this article:**[[Warhammer 40k - Lexicanum:Citation/Texts|Citation rules for text sources (paper or e-publications, '''NOT''' websites)]]**[[Warhammer 40k - Lexicanum:Citation/Texts|Citation rules for images]]**[[Warhammer 40k - Lexicanum:Citation/Texts|Citation rules for websites]]**[[Warhammer 40k - Lexicanum:Citation/Audio|Citation rules for audio sources (e.g. audiobooks)]]**[[Warhammer 40k - Lexicanum:Citation/Video|Citation rules for video sources (e.g. videos from official channels '''NOT''' videos from videogames)]]**[[Warhammer 40k - Lexicanum:Citation/Videogames|Citation rules for videogame sources]]**[[ Warhammer 40k - Lexicanum:Citation/CCGs|Citation rules for Collectible/ Trading card games]]
*The format described for each source type has to be followed to the letter (including structure, date formats, stylistic elements etc.). It does not matter what preferences, habits or background an editor might have, only the standardized and uniform format is allowed.
*There is basically only '''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]]).
