User blog:Radical Edward2/IMPORTANT COMMUNITY POST: Learning to Properly Edit Pages on the Wiki

If anyone needs more in-depth help with how to properly edit articles on the wiki, the Fandom University has a bunch of helpful tutorials with everything from creating new infoboxes to adding proper citations/references. https://community.fandom.com/wiki/Fandom_University

One thing I would say that needs some real restructuring is our wiki's lack of proper citations and this page should offer a more thorough explanation on how to set it up than the way I presented in the pinned How-To post on the Discord's wiki-editing-talk channel. https://community.fandom.com/wiki/Help%3ACite



Right now, my concern is that the while we are getting new articles whenever new content is released, a lot of our pages lack credibility because of the lack of source citations to stuff like news articles and interviews. Take for example the most recent addition being the Dia de los Muertos article.



Yes, there is a timestamp for when the band released the new animations and we somehow got character model sheets but, no one posted where the models were actually obtained from (because they weren't posted on Blink Production's website or on their twitter).

I mean...creating the citations isn't that hard. You just have to copy the template from the notepad file I made and swap out some details.

While I do want this community to be a fun place where we can all discuss the band and the lore, there's still some work that has to be put in for the wiki to stay afloat and operational.

On top of that, while citations might not seem like that big of a deal, if we had access to all of the citations from the start, there would be substantially less stub pages because we would know where to find any of the missing details.

I'm sorry if this is coming off as a bit of a rant but, we really need to work on properly structuring the pages (both new and old) on this wiki.
