This page documents a guideline. It is a generally accepted standard that contributors should attempt to follow, though it is best treated with common sense and the occasional exception. |
Any substantive edit to this page should reflect consensus. When in doubt, discuss first on the talk page. |
Don’t include listings or complete records, rather, link externally to the source. Don’t include lengthy poems, speeches or other source text. Link to it.
- Main article: Help:Create an external link
It may be tempting to copy vast amounts of public domain text into the wiki. Far better to add a brief quote or summary and then link to the public domain source material, so that researchers can find and benefit from consulting the whole work if needed.
