We don't bookmark everything that we find in wormhole space or connected K-space. This is a quick guide explaining what you should bookmark and what you can leave alone.

• The system naming scheme explains how we NAME SYSTEMS in wormhole space
• The bookmark naming scheme explains how we NAME BOOKMARKS in wormhole space
• This what to bookmark guide explains WHAT SHOULD BE BOOKMARKED in wormhole space

Important Reminders

• When you scan a signature down fully enough to know what kind of site it is (gas, relic, data, etc...), that information should go in the mapper by copying the information from your scan window and pasting it into the mapper. (Ask someone who's been around longer if you don't know how to do this!)
• Add systems to the mapper and bookmark the "away" or "dot" wormhole as soon as you find and name it. Without jumping through a wormhole, you can figure out whether the hole is high/low/null/wormhole, whether it's frig, whether it's eol, whether it's shrink or crit. Make sure that information makes it into the system name, the mapper, and the bookmark.
• Choosing what to bookmark involves a certain amount of judgment as you get further down the chain. If you find something that you think will be of interest to the community, it's OK to bookmark it even if the guidelines below suggest to ignore it.

Adding Scanning to the Lootsheet

Signatures that are scanned down and bookmarked within 3 jumps of Innuendo can be added to the WHC lootsheet. Only bookmarks that follow the guidelines on this page are eligible to be added to the lootsheet.

Quick guide

I am in Innuendo, Bacon, Eggs, or another one jump system

• Bookmark ALL WORMHOLES (warp to the sig, bookmark the hole and NOT the sig)!

• Scan it all the way down!
• Warp to the sig, Check what's on the other side (high/low/null/unknown), check shrink/eol status, check whether it's a frig hole ("only the smallest ships").
• Figure out the new Name (ex: 2 B9N), Update the mapper.
• Bookmark the exit wormhole (NOT THE SIG! ex: ".2 B9N [ABC] EOL FRIG").

• Bookmark EVERYTHING ELSE (bookmark the sigs)

I am more than two jumps away from Innuendo

• Bookmark ALL WORMHOLES (warp to the sig, bookmark the hole and NOT the sig)!

• Scan it all the way down!
• Warp to the sig, Check what's on the other side (high/low/null/unknown), check shrink/eol status, check whether it's a frig hole ("only the smallest ships").
• Figure out the new Name (ex: 2 B9N), Update the mapper.
• Bookmark the exit wormhole (NOT THE SIG! ex: ".2 B9N [ABC] EOL FRIG").

• Gas

• Scan and bookmark level 3 gas sites (Vital and Instrumental)
• Don't bookmark level 1 and 2 gas sites

• Relic/Data/Combat sites

• Don't bookmark.

• Gas/Relic/Data/Combat

• Use your judgment. Community members will often travel two jumps for interesting content, and bookmarks can be helpful for hunting. On the other hand, if it seems unlikely that people will be interested in the site, then consider following the guidelines for bookmarks more than two jumps out, i.e., ignoring sites that are unlikely to be useful to the community.
