Dangit, I meant to put "I'll fill this in later because I have something I have to do at the moment." Dang Mediawiki saving my edit before I'm ready... But really, I have a 100% file in Hunters with all the lore, so I'll start tossing it up when I get back from my errand._Neo(U) (T) (C)(Home) 15:52, 8 July 2010 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Alright, don't forget to reference it. Use {{cite|quotation text|person speaking|game in which text appears}},


As an example: They came to the lagoon in the night, delivering true deathblows before I could detect them. As my life faded, I sent a call to the cadre to warn them of this surprise attack. May they find my key and dispatch the Ing who killed me. Only then will my final rest be peaceful.<ref>{{cite|They came to the lagoon in the night, delivering true deathblows before I could detect them.

Aw, now I see this AFTER working on the page. I didn't know you wanted them all referenced. Well, it's a bit late now, but I'll probably go back later and do it. For now, I'm a little done with this page :P_Neo(U) (T) (C)(Home) 20:36, 8 July 2010 (UTC)Reply[reply]
I'll add them, it won't take very long. Metroidking 20:38, 8 July 2010 (UTC)Reply[reply]
The way you've done this is very redundant. It would probably be a lot better to simply reference what it is and what game it's from, not to have the whole log placed twice._Neo(U) (T) (C)(Home) 17:30, 10 July 2010 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Redundant indeed, but not wrong. It may seem pointless and funny, but it's how references are. Although it might not be too useful, it is proper citing. If you feel it wastes time, then add them later or bug me to do it :] I really don't find it too much of a hassle. --Malake256 {Talk | Contribs} 02:57, 11 July 2010 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Well, if you like doing that, then more power to ya :P I guess it's because we've never had to do anything like this over at ZW, so I don't have much experience in it. I regularly add sources and all, but this just seemed quite odd to me, y'know?_Neo(U) (T) (C)(Home) 16:29, 11 July 2010 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Yeah, rules differ between wikis, and that can cause problems sometimes. But it's not much of a problem at all here. It did seem odd to me too at first, so I asked Melchizedek and he told me how it's done. It's not really that hard, just some copy/paste stuff. --Malake256 {Talk | Contribs} 17:42, 11 July 2010 (UTC)Reply[reply]
