MarioWiki talk:Citations

Great page, but just one problem. Why can't we still use tags, but you shouldn't say "Source: Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door", but rather use a footnote: "This information comes from Grifty, a storyteller in Rogueport's East Side.", or something like that. - 06:51, 27 January 2008 (EST)

The part that confuses me is this sentence "To cite a written source, which you cannot provide a link to, you only need to state it exactly.". That sentence seems to imply that we cannot use for things that can't be linked to. And using isn't always about linking to another website. 19:50, 27 January 2008 (EST)

This is outdated
It says in the "Why Sourcing" section that we need sources on the wiki because we "recently" got a flood of information about "new games" like Super Smash Bros. Brawl. Now, Brawl was released almost five years ago now and this needs to be updated. Could a sysop please fix this? Pseudo-dino (talk) 12:28, 27 April 2013 (EDT)
 * Yeah, we should really remove specific games since time goes on 12:38, 27 April 2013 (EDT)

Link needs to be fixed
There's a link to Beta Elements instead of Pre-release and unused content under the "Requesting a source" header. Niiue (talk) 20:33, 30 December 2015 (EST)

X Bosses
On the bosses in the Mario & Luigi series pages, I removed the information on the X bosses seeing that they already have their own articles. Can I add links to those pages on the original like Bowser Memory ML to Bowser Memory MLX? 19:21, 6 May 2016 (EDT)

Related on RPG Infoboxes
I think it's time we remove the related section in the RPG Infoboxes that have them because since we redesigned them the related part has disappeared so there is now no real need to have it anymore. 18:25, 4 June 2016 (EDT)
 * I beg your pardon? How is this and your previous conversation relevant to sourcing? 18:29, 4 June 2016 (EDT)
