#{{user|LinkTheLefty}} - We haven't even fully sorted through the wiki's former use of [[MarioWiki:Proposals/Archive 52#Update the Manual of Style to discourage contractions on the wiki|contractions]], and that was years ago. It would be a waste of time to expect us to go back to each and every citation and ensure they're all updated to a template standard. As noted, Wikipedia's reference style is more academic, while this is decidedly not, and thus not all of those are going to be applicable and many are going to have incomplete information. If you don't like informal citations, you're free to update them yourself on your own time, but please don't force other users to stop what they're doing and implement a rigid system that'll be more trouble than it's worth. | #{{user|LinkTheLefty}} - We haven't even fully sorted through the wiki's former use of [[MarioWiki:Proposals/Archive 52#Update the Manual of Style to discourage contractions on the wiki|contractions]], and that was years ago.
