Forms have been created to help ease the addition of information for those who are not familiar with editing Wikis.
References and Credit
While we greatly appreciate the work of other websites in cataloging data, this is not the same thing as saying that it should be referenced in the text. Unless the information is directly or paraphrased from another site (which should be avoided whenever possible), no credit is necessary.
Any information that is a direct output from the game or information that can be derived by anyone, is by its nature not the work of the writer.
If for some reason it is necessary to credit another site for their work, then the best method is via the <ref></ref> reference tags.
