This guideline explains how references on the wiki work and lists a number of commonly used references. Referencing is used because it helps look up facts in case of conflict, as well as tells how reliable the information is. Referencing is required for: * Trivia * Timeline events (special referencing rules apply; see below) * Appearance and descriptions. * Stated facts Referencing is not required for: * Chronology (unless the mentioned events were told in a different arc/story than the heading implies) * Personality (unless there are no specific examples mentioned)
