References can be a new users first taste of editing because it is very easy to do in a quick amount of time and it can be fun to try to find the hidden references in the game. Every single [[Opponents|opponent]] and [[Items|item]] has a reference or two, so if you see one while adventuring please be sure to put it on its wiki page. To do so, go to any page and click the edit button, then scroll down to where you see the reference heading. After that type in the reference, if you would like to post a link click on the world icon just in the upper left corner of this text box and type in your link address. Please make sure that all references are correct when putting them onto the wiki.

A reference is incomplete unless it explains how it is a reference. Always explain your reference and add links for more information. If a song lyric is referenced, include the lyric. If a movie referenced, briefly describe the situation in the movie, etc. If a band/movie/album/game/book is mentioned in the reference, link it, preferably to Wikipedia. An unexplained and unlinked reference is useless to everyone and can annoy the makers of the game since they put hard work into thinking these references up. Mention where the reference is located on the page, such as the item description, message when consumed, attack message, etc.
Write references in complete sentences, using proper capitalization. You do not always say "is a reference to" or "refers to", for it gets repetitive. Feel free to mix it up using things like "is from", "alludes to", "is a play on", or some other synonym.
Always start a reference with a bullet, as more references may be added. Italicize the names of movies, books, poems, albums, and video games. Song titles, lyrics, and quotes should be enclosed in quotation marks.
