As a general principle, articles should aspire to help readers discover where to look to verify the information they present, particularly whenever it's not obvious where to look. For this reason, articles should cite in-game sources whenever it aids in this discovery. | As a general principle, articles should aspire to help readers discover where to look to verify the information they present, particularly whenever it's not obvious where to look, for purposes of verification and for modding.

=== Maintaining up-to-date-ness === | |||
To guarantee that the data on a page is correct, we have two main locations that we place the game version our information comes from: | |||
* The infobox footer, which is either automatically populated by QBE, or manually added by setting the <code>gameversion</code> parameter in the infobox to the game version. This is used for the infobox related data only. | |||
* References, added by adding <code><nowiki>{{References|(game version number)}}</nowiki></code> at the end of the article, before any navboxes. This is used for manually written information in the main body of the article. | |||
For other pages, regular <code><nowiki>{{As Of Patch|(game version number)}}</nowiki></code> will be placed at the very top of the article, although if the page uses references, it is best to place in the references section as stated previously. | |||
