But it says its no longer optionalWell, probably not if the statistics are justified with accepted calculations in it, but we definitely prefer if you use references.

Then we need to fix that and say they are highly recommended, especially for controversial feats or something like thatHmm. Here is what our current Editing Rules say:
"Always include the References section in character pages, explanation pages, information blogs, and verse-specific powers and abilities pages to source all the important information covered within them. To learn more regarding how to use them, read the References page."
Still, I don't think that it seems realistic to start deleting all pages without references sections.
Never mind. I handled it. Also, @Elizhaa , you inaccurately placed the Songs instructions in our Editing Rules page, so I moved them to our References instruction page instead.Also, the "Songs" section of our References page needs to be adjusted to follow the same format as the other instructions for different media types.
Then our members would not take the rules seriously enough. However, unofficially, I don't think that it seems realistic to delete all other pages, if they have linked calculations for all of their statistics.Then we need to fix that and say they are highly recommended, especially for controversial feats or something like that
Yes, that is a good idea.Are page numbers and episode timeframes allowed in references?
While they are allowed, I would usually say they shouldn't be. Depending on where someone reads it, the page numbers could very well be different. On top of that, there is also another problem with single chapters and trade paper backs.Are page numbers and episode timeframes allowed in references?
Well, most of the time with big manga, such as Dragon Ball and Dragon Ball Super or Naruto or My Hero Academia, the pages are ripped straight from the volume release or from, like, the Viz online release. Because of that, regardless of whether or not you read the manga at M*ngasee123 or M*ngapill or one of these "Read [blank] Manga Online" sites, the page count is typically identical.depending on which site someone reads it, the page number can be slightly lower or higher

''"NOTE: This profile references the Dark Horse Images publication of the manga; therefore, the page numbers cited are based off the complete volumes rather than the individual chapters.'''

Alright, my mistake.Then our members would not take the rules seriously enough. However, unofficially, I don't think that it seems realistic to delete all other pages, if they have linked calculations for all of their statistics.
Maybe we could simply mention the page numbers and which published edition that is referred to in conjunction?
Alright. The suggestion seems fine.No problem.
So what do you all think about the suggestion in my last post?
Usually I wouldn't see the problem but often at times different pulication volumes might use a different number of pages or episode timeframes can vary wildly depending on what format you watch them in. It's often just better to use the Episode Number (For shows), Mission Number (For games, if any exist at all) or the Chapter number (For book-based mediums). Those values are usually much more concrete to rely upon.Are page numbers and episode timeframes allowed in references?
Yes, this is a issue I have with most novel-related media not written in English. But even then I think just using Chapter number is fine, since the likelihood of those changing across English versions or the OG Japanese scans (Or any other language really) is extremely unlikely, if not straight up impossible.Honestly, on the chapter points, I think a note explaining the page number might be inaccurate seems fine like said above. There is also another issue of page number inaccuracy; it is from a certain type of language system.
For example, In the Japanese Light Novel, sometimes, the language is written vertically which can easily increase the page counts and makes the page number inaccurate to the English Translation of the Novel.
