Welcome to the references department of the Dungeons & Dragons WikiProject. The goal of this department is to provide a guide to references which are commonly used, or aren't used much but probably should be, including information on their reliability and ready-to-use citation templates which can just be copied and pasted into the proper article.
Websites
