I've been mulling over this for a bit and I'd like to apologize if my thoughts are a bit too jumbled.

Being in academia, I understand the need for citations. I also hate doing them. I don't think I've ever met a person in academia who likes doing them. To ask this of volunteer editors, I don't think would pan out well and probably would lead to articles without any references or articles with less edits (due to people going "ugh, i just won't bother").

Besides that, the formatting, as Sol pointed out, is still an ongoing debate and everyone just does what each journal asks of them. It is not uncommon to have to redo citation multiple times in order to submit your paper. Geography also plays a part in it: different countries have different "official" citations. In Brazil we follow the norms from ABNT, the Brazilian association of technical norms.

I agree with Vilka's citation of weapons as just '''Game '''– '''Weapon'''.

On the point on abbreviating the games' names, I don't really like the idea. Using the full names is bulkier, I'll give you that. But it keeps the memory/documents on the same eye level. Contrast

with

<div class="quote">Assassin's Creed: Unity – I Like Elise<br />ACU – I Like Arno Too</div>
and

<div class="quote">Assassin's Creed: Unity – I Like Elise<br /> – I Like Arno Too</div>
The first and the last keep the different titles on the same level, allowing for a quick glace. The second one does not.

That said, I thought we already had standard abbreviations for them, the ones used in the memories templates, like ACReb for Rebellion and ACS for Syndicate.

I'm voting no on quotation marks for missions and database entries.

Sidebar: Should we archive the Rebellion Bios in case Rebellion goes down like Pirates? Or do we already do that, I just never noticed?
