Citations
From WikiThisLand
When adding information to a page, please refer to the original text of ITL so that other readers will know where to go to read about your subject.
Citations help for the following reasons:
- Readers remember the original text to varying degrees. Things that you take for granted that everyone knows, everyone may not know.
- ITL is a long series. The longer it gets, the harder it is to go back and check on where something was mentioned in the text.
- We'll be here for years. ITL, as mentioned above, is a long series. As years pass, our memories will lose some of their freshness. Citations will help us to remember where we read what.
- Accuracy. If you look it up to check on the citation, you'll be sure to get it right. This will keep us from putting Nisutalin A Dihi's information in Nisutalin A Rihi's page.
To make referring to the text easier, if you want to note that a particular scene happened in "In This Land" part 135, scene 2, refer to it as ITL 135.2. The fourth scene of the second part of "In This Land" would be ITL 2.4.
In your Wiki This Land entry, use <sup> tags around ITL 32.5 to get, for example, this:
Beneta is a hostess at the royal palace in Orina Anoris. [ITL 2.4]
Not everything is from a main part of ITL. Sometimes you'll get information from one of the short stories. In that case, use the initials of the title. For example, we read about Hesul in "Days of Endearment."
Hesul is a city on the Anorian border [DoE]

Remember: <sup> before the note, then </sup> after it.
