Can we actually get references for things? I've seen so many things that don't have references. People want simple references for things like, "What's the Dev's name?" and "Will students go to a nurse instead of a teacher in the final build for poisoning?" and such.

Question everything you read on the wikia. I understand how cynical outsiders view the wikia now. It is terrible. Mostly because they aren't as dedicated as we all are and don't know as much as we do. The people in the comments on YouTube and those who talk on Twitter aren't informed. Maybe not idiots, but at least not informed. It's sort of like a native Spanish speaker introduced to the English language.

Therefore, when outsiders read articles they'll question things more because they don't automatically know things like we do. I've seen people within the last month ask if there will be ten rivals and questions about defeating two rivals in one week. Just like some teachers say in school, you must explain like you're talking to a foreigner. Someone who is totally new to a subject. They. Know. Nothing. I don't like saying that, since I'm sure that there are intelligent and awesome human beings who know their stuff without being an editor. However, by watching Yandere Simulator videos everyday by Castor, KubzScouts, AzzMan, Mischievite Games, iHasCupquake, Markiplier, Jacksepticeye, YandereDev, and reading posts on the Dev's Twitter I cannot doubt it any longer. The fandom generally and genuinely knows very little about the game. People might be hurt by this, but like us they need to get it together. Maybe not stalk the Dev's Twitter but at least look stuff up (not even on the wikia) before asking something on a video.

So, do references for the most simplest things. Do it. It seems unbelievably obvious, but a lot of old and abandoned pages do not have enough references. I can understand if everyone is busy with something else though, but whenever you can reference, reference, reference.
