Editing Worm Wiki:Policy (section)

==Citations==
All information on this wiki should ideally be cited clearly using reference tags:

<code>'''<nowiki><ref name="NAME"></nowiki>'''CITATION'''<nowiki></ref></nowiki>'''</code>

Information included in Worm itself should be cited with the chapter name, a link to the chapter itself or its page on the Wiki, and optionally a direct quote. Like so:

<code>'''<nowiki><ref name="1.1"></nowiki>'''<nowiki>Since the start of the semester, I had been looking forward to the part of Mr. Gladly’s World Issues class where we’d start discussing capes. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2011/06/11/1-1/
Excerpt] from [[Gestation 1.1]]</nowiki>'''</ref><nowiki></nowiki>'''</code>

Information from Ward uses the same guidelines, except that the chapter name should be appended with a "II" to distinguish it from Worm. Like so:

<code>'''<nowiki><ref name="II1.1"></nowiki>'''<nowiki>It was a second chance for humanity as a whole, and they’d gone and screwed it up from the start by coloring the city gold, of all colors.  - [https://www.parahumans.net/2017/09/11/daybreak-1-1/
Excerpt] from [[Daybreak 1.1]]</nowiki>'''<nowiki></ref></nowiki>'''</code>

Information provided by Wildbow elsewhere similarly requires a link. Information stored offline, for whatever reason, should be clearly specified and ideally have a link to information about it. Information for which a source cannot be found should be removed, following a discussion on the page's Talk Page in which other users can put forth their sources.
