Trouble Cube Roleplay Wiki:Referencing

This is a wiki about amateur roleplaying. You don't need to cite your sources. However, you might want to, just so people have some context for what you're talking about. Here's a guide on that.

How To

Just wrap a link to the thing you're referencing in <ref> </ref> tags.

Mediawiki automatically generates a list of references at the end of the page, so strictly speaking there's nothing more you need to do, though you should probably put a "References" header at the bottom of the page; it definitely looks better that way.

Source Preference Ranking

1. A direct link to a particular post in the article topic's thread.
2. An external document established to be canon (such as by inclusion in a thread sign-up)
3. A direct link to a post in a different thread than the page topic.
4. A screenshot of the information being established in some non-easily-linked context like Discord
5. Just the name of the public thread the fact was established in (if you can't find any particular post)
6. A phrase to the effect of "Private Discord roleplay", indicating that the information has not been established publicly. Include, if possible, the name of the roleplay and some kind of temporal context.

If you see a less-preferred source and are able to replace it with a more-preferred source, do so. Do not cite other pages on TCRP Wiki. In fact, don't cite any wiki pages -- not Murderverse Wiki, not TVTropes, none of 'em, they're all too ephemeral.

Do not delete information just for lacking a source.
