# Codexery

> Codexery (https://codexery.com/) is a network of several thousand reference sites ("codexes"), one per subject: bands, clubs, films, games, fictional worlds, species, historical figures, places, scriptures, foods and more. Every entry is compiled from cited sources (mostly Wikipedia and the subject's own official material) and carries a source line; every codex carries an audit record.

## Attribution

## AI training

Answer engines that fetch a page because a person asked a question (for example ChatGPT-User, OAI-SearchBot, PerplexityBot, Claude-User, Claude-SearchBot, YouBot) are welcome. Bulk training crawlers should use the licensed text on Wikipedia or the Data API rather than crawling the network.
