Hi, I'm just a dude who wants to make the wiki a better place by trying to encourage more referencing throughout the wiki, making it a far better central storage of information.

The current referencing layout is use is:

   

for tweets I use:

  (Will try to specify the type of Q&A if I know what it is.)]

My main philosophy on referencing is making the more obscure or easy to miss bits of information in the series, easier to locate, make them more accessible, and provide a better avenue for quotation and use in theory crafting. When going through an article, I typically leave the easy to learn or unimportant bits of information, like appearance, generally uncited, as the reader can quite easily pick that information up for themselves in a first readthrough. However, bits of information like character connections, unclear abilities etc, I like to cite due to the tendency for people to miss the information, or easily forget where it is mentioned.

My main method of finding material for referencing is a combination of things:


 * My own personal memory of lines in the series. If I can remember key words of a line, it makes it super easy for me to make a reference.
 * Content Information Document; This allows me to quickly find all the translated material, and scan through it quickly for information I need. Very good for Side Stories I have little memory from.
 * Q&A Complementation Spreadsheet; This has documented all translated Q&As by actual translators and allows me to quickly skim for keywords regarding information given in Q&As. I then use these translations to find the raws of twitter.
 * Re:Zero Discord; If I am really struggling to find bits of information, because it's either a) worded weirdly or b) untranslated and obscure, I'll ask around on the discord, and that assists me in finding content I have previously been unaware of.

Main Reference Goals

 * 1) Tackle a bunch of smaller character pages with references
 * 2) Begin surface level references on the larger character pages based on my own knowledge
 * 3) Perform a deeper reference search for specific characters, and attempt to rule out unsourceable information.
