Template talk:Confirm

Use
This template is supposed to be used for anything that needs to be confirmed. Something that can only be proved by an image is part of that. This also goes for "themes" too. Not only does it need to be proved it needs to be sourced regardless if there's no sources in a section. SeaTerror (talk) 05:16, January 10, 2018 (UTC)

If you demand an image as "evidence" for each and every statement, then there will be no end for it. That is true not only for games, but for every kind of source we ever used. E.g.: even just a simple chapter/episode reference, would be "questionable". After all, if I add a statement like "Luffy doesn't like eating crabs" referencing chapter XXX, what do you do to confirm it? If you doubt it, you go and check that reference yourself. That is the purpose of references, to cite the source of information so that people can double-check the information itself. It's not to bring over the wiki the source. And sure, you can upload an image of the source when it's not clear or to disprove a previous statement, we have done that many times in the past. Just you cannot expect to require that (it will also be technically difficult to do).

An easy thing we can do, is maybe use more specific reference. I'm thinking for example for "big, single, source", like movies. Writing the rough timestamp in the reference would help find it again when checking (this would be the equivalent of pages for written sources). I'm not saying it should be required, just that it would be good practice.

What could really help with this discussion would be to check out this forum that can add game guides to the playlist(i.e. walkthroughs).--Rgilbert27 (talk) 11:27, January 10, 2018 (UTC)
