(Second message in a week, geez...)

So, as you and others probably know, this wiki has very few references. And of those that we do have, 90% of them refer to other pages on the wiki. Now, I know that videogames are harder to create references for, especially on an "in-universe wiki" such as this (as compared to Wikipedia, where everything is from a real world standpoint).

But I think that we can make some form of references work. Creating a page called "References" and then having / pages within it holding references such as an image of the game manual would work. That way, the references would lead to absolute proof. Anybody could say something on the Thieves in Time page like "Sly dies at the end" and the reference at the bottom being "The end of Thieves in Time," even though it's not true. Someone who was trying to spoil the game for themselves wouldn't know the difference between fake information such as that and real information unless they had read otherwise. Having an actual reference page such as "References/Thieves in Time" that has screenshots of the game and articles, videos, and scans of the manual (even though there is no manual, haha) would benefit our wiki in some way.

If you feel this is unnecessary or not worth the time, that's fine. It's just a suggestion, and would be quite a project that would require a lot of dedication from a lot of people.
