BG3Wiki uses references to inform readers where in the game information on the wiki comes from. This is called verification.
Verification allows readers to know where the information comes from, and allows other editors to ensure that it is accurately represented.
Not all information on the wiki needs to have a reference. The more difficult it is to find a piece of information in the game, though, the more it benefits from references.
To add references, use the <ref> ... </ref> tag. If there is no Reference sections at the end of the article, add it, and add the <references/> tag as the only content in that section.
If you come across information on the wiki without references, or if you don't believe the references are correct or sufficient, you can request verification by adding the verify template ({{Verify}}) after the sentence or paragraph with the potentially incorrect information. Do not remove information unless you know it to be incorrect – take it to the Talk Page instead.
For a list of pages that need verification, see Special:WhatLinksHere/Template:Verify.
