			Please make sure that you include images of

			* the '''oldest depiction of the''' star '''name/''' constellation name that you know: this might be detail of a map where it is depicted, a star catalogue where the name is mentioned, or any other source
			* any depiction of the real object that it designates: e.g. if it designates a giraffe, then find an adequate photograph of the animal or take one in the next zoo, if it normally designates a historical instrument or a deity, then people from other cultures would probably not know what you are talking about with any historical depiction (museums, temple walls, etc.)

			[[File:ASE pillarCategories.png\|thumb\|All entries must have at least four categories from these areas.]]
			When you are done with editing a specific page, please make sure that the "Categories" are set and that they are set properly.

			This is highly important for links to other software projects, specifically Stellarium, but also for our Encyclopaedia (so that it appears in the correct selections when automatically generated).
⚫	== Digital Library Pages (References) ==

			# Switch to "Edit source" mode (see above)
			# scroll down to the very bottom of the page
			# add categories manually with the command <nowiki>[[ Category: ...]]</nowiki>
			# The [[Special:Categories\|list of valid categories]] can be found here.

			Make sure you set at least five categories:

			# for the geographical region according to the UN-schema
			# for the language
			# for the culture
			# for the object type (always "Asterism" but also ""Star name" or "Constellation" or "IAU-Star name"?)
			# for the IAU-constellation(s) of its position in three letter-abbreviation (e.g. "Cam" or "Oct")

	In addition to the references that are given on specific lemma pages, we also maintain lists of frequently cited literature. Originally, these pages came into being to make it easier for the authors and editor for copy & pasting the references to the lemma page. However, they also provide a huge advantage when we write papers/ books.		In addition to the references that are given on specific lemma pages, we also maintain lists of frequently cited literature.
