Now that the new update has been delayed for a bit, there's something the wikia needs to know. Please read all of this (in the morning or afternoon if it's late) because I'm staying up until 1 AM on finals week just to type this out for you guys. Pleeeeease?

Sorry, but it's the references and the clarification on pages that's the problem. Yeah, I'm about to nag everyone about it again. This isn't out of nowhere, I have gathered up a bit of proof and this whole thing about inaccuracy is still going on a bit because no one really changed. This time, it's more about specifying things and helping others to understand, rather than having some outright wrong information or whatever. I'm really sorry to say that, because while I correct others a lot I usually appreciate the work done on the wikia nonetheless, but we really need to clear up some things.

Here are a few examples of some things wrong throughout the past months:

A person asks on Twitter about if the Senpai Customization feature has been removed. Before I edited the Update History page it seemed like the feature was removed completely. That's an easy mistake and I forgive anyone who did that, but we really need to check things like that. Please? It's like saying the "outdated intro" all over again. It's either the first/original intro or the second intro. The second may become outdated, so we need to be specific.

"That's what I get for trusting wikia, lol." Exact words from someone who read the Shower Room page thinking that something was implemented already, when it really wasn't. My edit shows how it can clear up some confusion in the future.

Someone asks a Twitter question because there was no source on wikia. She didn't know that YandereDev's real name is Alex. By making the wikia more reliable, we might be able to help YandereDev answer fewer questions. Don't you all care for YandereDev? Then take a load off his back please. I set up a Twitter account to answer questions with sources. That gives me a bit of insight on what fans are thinking, mostly about why YandereDev disappeared and such.

Lastly, there was a user here that came to talk about their own theories and how the wikia can't always be trustworthy.

Those fans out there aren't a bunch of Midoris you know. They're just outsiders, some good, some bad. We were all one of them too and I'd really like to help them. By helping them, YandereDev just might have to answer less questions in the future. Your alone word isn't good enough. That's like saying a child's gossip is a good source of information. That's not always the case and let's all just please put in some references or at least comment on a page saying, "I found a reference!" or "Here's a reference for the page. It needs to be added please!" I used to tell people to put it in themselves but I thought they meant with the reference... So please at least post it in the comments and I won't talk about that unless the link is wrong.

Pleeeeeeeease? I'm really, really sorry. I've been posting this a lot lately but I didn't want to make another thread about it... but since the build is delayed now is the time to attack before it's too late.

Here's the reference format, if needed:

That format above puts in a number in a bracket. Like this.

Know how to not overlink references here.

At the end of every article or post with citations, put this:
