Forum:Changing SBS Citations

Across the wiki, information that is gleaned from SBS questions is referenced by including the question within the reference. Go to the SBS-based trivia section of any major character and look at a reference to see. While the reference may be fine for someone reading an article, I believe it clutters up the page unnecessarily when someone is trying to edit it. This is especially true when these references are put in a character's infobox. And honestly, I don't even see why the question needs to be in the reference. If a person wants to look up a piece of SBS information, the volume and page number should suffice fine, since anyone with a volume can easily get there and there are only 3-4 questions on any page. So to me, including the full text of the question (which can sometimes be very long, and refer to stuff unrelated to the information we're referencing) doesn't significantly help readers looking for information, and adds unnecessary text to the source code of the page, so I would like to propose removing it from SBS references.

The question is fine as long as it isn't the infobox. It definitely shouldn't exist in the infobox. SeaTerror (talk) 07:30, March 5, 2018 (UTC)

It's fine with just referencing the SBS volume or, if you want to be more specific, adding the chapter. If someone feels the need to add other pieces of information, he can do so by adding an explanation in the free parameter rather then copying&pasting the whole question which often doesn't explain much or could be misleading.

@SeaTerror it can be just as bad in trivia sections. Look at Roronoa Zoro/Misc. for example; the SBS questions in the references easily takes up at least half of the section when editing. Kaido King of the Beasts (talk) 17:41, March 5, 2018 (UTC)
