Wouldn't that mean you need a ref link on everything?

Fragment of a discussion from User talk:Tanino
 
 
I'm even more irritated that the wiki staff acts with such disregard to the mabinogi community, outright insulting them in their own IRC, and then adopting the "nexon doesn't care" and the "I've dealt with them before, who cares" attitude does not make the wiki's position as a fan site sound very credible.
 

 

Please learn the difference between MW Wiki staff and IRC staff. Also, I'm not sure what kind of response you were expecting when the first three sentences you typed upon entering were:

Mar 23 23:22:44 <tanino> I would like to know what staff member finds it funny to constantly remove my references.
Mar 23 23:22:57 <tanino> Unless someone wants to go to jail, that's totally fine. But leave the god damn refs alone.

I'm not saying I don't agree that it didn't look nice or that maybe it wasn't needed, what I'm saying is that there was no need to remove it to begin with, it wasn't a bad edit or superfluous information, it was an accurate edit, even on a subpage. Some people might not know to look at the main event page for a reference.

Also I'm not familiar with the Wiki staff or IRC staff for that matter, I'm sorry for my very irate intro to the IRC however I was rather mad that someone had the nerve to remove a reference after it was added back by others and not just myself. I think its debatable as to why it should/shouldn't be there, but in the end its still a personal opinion question.

I'd like to apologize for my rude behavior, I realize its a bit late for this and I should have said so beforehand. Personally the way I see it at this point is as, The entire wiki may be based off player info and info provided by nexon sources, however in spite of this references are omitted throughout the entire wiki, whereas they should be there, furthermore you cannot claim common knowledge on something that was not confirmed by at least 5 different sources, this is general ethical knowledge.

While omitting a reference here and there isn't a bad thing, it happens, I think that there should be references when the information has yet to be confirmed true by several official sources. Furthermore, looking at the Mabi Coin page all I see is "We know where the information came from, but we removed the ref either way" <- Not a valid reason to remove an edit, again like I said, if the whole wiki needs an overhaul then so be it. There's plenty of people that work on the wiki to do that.

Thank you for your apology. :D

RE: Not knowing the staff structure, you can see Wiki staff here. It's linked at the top of the Main Page discussion section.

People were only removing the link because they were actually following the rules here. I'm sorry if it upset you but had you been aware of the rules you likely would've understood why it was happening. It is Kiyoura's as well as other moderators' jobs to clean up the wiki and make it look nice, and if you disagree with a change there is a specific procedure to follow as outlined in the policy. I'm glad you are starting an actual discussion of the topic now, and I will be happy to look at that while disregarding any previous behavior.
