* The Archives run on [http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki MediaWiki] software, but it is not a pure wiki. That means not anyone can contribute; editing is restricted-access only.

* They are not the be-all, end-all of authority on Lusternia information. Though we'll do our best to make sure there is no misinformation within these pages, most entries are contributed by players and not by the administration of Lusternia and any information that cannot be verified on the official website, within the game, or directly from the Lusternia administration should be taken with a grain of salt. That said, our Chroniclers are unparallelled in their depth of Lusternia knowledge, from the epic histories to the most trivial minutiae, and this disclaimer is meant as no slight to them.
* If you'd like to contribute, send a message to one of the [[Chroniclers]] with your suggestions, or apply to [[Becoming a chronicler|become a chronicler]], or better yet both.
* The Archives don't intend to replace the [http://www.lusternia.com Lusternia web site] or any in-game resource, but only to supplement them.  We won't be simply repeating web pages or help files here, unless there's something to be gained by collecting or annotating them.
