* The Trigun Maximum English scanalation!
* The Fandom Trigun Wiki, as there is a lot of blatantly incorrect information, presented without sources. Additionally, Fandom has recently implemented an AI feature that is giving incorrect information. As it stands now, this is NOT a trustworthy source.
** In addition, we do not want to steal work done by others. We are unaffiliated with the Fandom Trigun wiki.
* The old Trigun Maximum "Maximum7" English fan translation.
* The gameplay related sections of the of the BESM/D20 Trigun Fan Guides.

==Images==
Please try and add the following information, if known, when uploading an image:
* Source where an image was found.
* For anime screenshots, add the series, episode name, and the release the screenshot was taken from.
* For manga panels, add the series, chapter number, page number, and release the panel was taken from.
* For scans, add the name of the release it was scanned from and credit who did the scan, if known.
* If any edits were made to the image, state what they were (i.e. cropped, stitched screenshots, removed background).
* Keep the image sizes smaller, as the wiki code has errors generating thumbnails for images with large dimensions. For best results, keep the dimensions below 3000px.
