Forgotten Realms Wiki

Hello Forgotten Realms wiki people. I am Jesus. I have been transported here by the Holy Spirit to absolve you of your great sins against Gale.

Anyway - the Gale article on FR Wiki currently has citations that just lead straight to the BG3 FR Wiki page. Which is about as "trust me bro. Source: Me" as you can get citation-wise. This does seem to apply to a lot of the video game citations in the FR Wiki although, obviously, despite my Father being omniscient, I am in fact not, so I can't account for every citation.

What I would recommend is EITHER:

- Making the citations lead to videos of the game that are uploaded somewhere (e.g. a FR Wiki Youtube) or, more risky, to external videos with timestamps. - In the citation itself, specify roughly in the game where it is. Which chapter or scene - in a similar way that you would do for page numbers in the books themselves. - Not using citations until EA is out and you can get a better policy on it. - Reforming your entire policy on video game content to include a better way to narrow down citations. Otherwise you have a potentially very abusable system where people can just cite the entire game for anything and anyone who wants to error-check it has to trawl through the ENTIRE GAME which is... not a good system, I think we can all agree.

Normally at this point, it is customary for mortals to say "thank you", but as I am Jesus I will instead say "you are welcome, your sins may be absolved if you take these steps".

Kind regards

The Son and the Holy Spirit.
