Editing Periodical

[[File: Imperial-Sunburst-Sun-Gray-wiki.png|right|125px]]
[[Periodical]]: The following is a list of all ''articles'' published for the Traveller universes, for a list of books, modules see [[Published]]. While Traveller magazines published by book and modules publishers are included on the [[Published]] page, this page includes references in non-Traveller magazines (e.g. [[Dragon]]) and [[Fanzine]]s. The number of articles are too many to be listed here, and as such are broken down by [[Publisher]], [[Version]], and [[Author]].
* We are trying to use a common format for all published items.
* Total: 110+
