Animation Wiki:Referencing

This page outlines how to cite and add references to articles. References are very important for providing support, clarification and verification to pages.

When and why to cite
References should be included in an article when support or clarification is needed on a subject matter. This is to provide proof that it is right and can be verified.

Where to cite
References should be added in the character/real person biographies, media appearances, and trivia sections or wherever else it’s needed. For sections such as plot summary, cast, international, release dates, those don’t necessarily need citations as the information can be easily found.
