bg3wiki:Verification

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. However, the more difficult it is to find a piece of information in the game, the more likely it is that it needs references.

How to add or request references

Use the template Template:Cite to add references to pages, and add the template Template:Reflist at the bottom of the page to list references. See the respective pages for further instructions. To add an external webpage as a reference, use Template:Cite web.

To add simple references on simpler pages, use the tag <ref> </ref> to add a reference, and the tag <references/> in its own References section to list any references.

If you come across information on the wiki without references, or if you don't believe the references are sufficient, you can request verification by adding the verify template 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.
