| Anyway, I don't see any problem with story/plot elements from the game, kupo, if my experience with Wikipedia had anything to tell me, kupo, it's that citing the game script usually works. I've done that in Wikipedia for most of the game articles there, kupo.}} | | Anyway, I don't see any problem with story/plot elements from the game, kupo, if my experience with Wikipedia had anything to tell me, kupo, it's that citing the game script usually works.

| | {{KrytenKoro|My point wasn't that it's ''impossible'' to cite stuff from the games, it's that it would be ''useless''. By virtue of our being a wiki based on the games, and the story sections explicitly being "this is what happened in the games", having little notes every sentence saying "Indeed my good man, this happened in the games." would be overkill. Look at wikipedia's Organization XIII article for an example - they've gone so far as to transcribe entire scenes ''for quotes'' - something that is specifically not how citations work. If you say the character said something, you don't have to provide the entire conversation containing the quote. It's just ridiculous and makes the article look like you didn't have anything actually valuable to cite. |

| | If anyone watches The Soup, I think they actually spent an episode making fun of this. Or maybe it was the Daily Show.}} |
| | {{Guardian Soul|text=Right now, story information for Days needs to be cited. We don't need to cite every single thing in the game, just important elements.}} |
| | {{BebopKate|text=On ''Days'' (and ''Birth by Sleep'' when it eventually comes out), absolutely. |

| | Kryten has voiced the same concerns I have; the subject of this wiki isn't a vast, multimedia empire, or a complex set of books. It's essentially a set of three (soon to be four) video games and a manga adaption. On Wikipedia, citing information makes complete sense since it covers such a broad range of topics. But citing every single little thing on here just seems redundant. I do think the idea of citing things that have come from other sources, such as interviews, game guides, and so on is quite reasonable.}} |
| | {{Azul|text=I think it was the Daily Show, I don't remember any episode of The Soup doing that... anyways, yes, things revealed in interviews that you wouldn't already know by playing the game should be cited. Do we have reliable sources? We can't use Wikipedia, that's for sure. And can all the stuff we already have that needs to be cited have a source?}} |
