<p>Created page with &quot;I like the abbreviations idea, but only if there&#039;s a mass of refs. I&#039;d write the first citation of a source to look something like &#039;&#039;Assassin&#039;s Creed [Game]&#039;&#039; (&quot;&#039;&#039;AC [Game]&#039;&#039;&quot;...&quot;</p> <p><b>Páàjì titun</b></p><div>I like the abbreviations idea, but only if there&#039;s a mass of refs. I&#039;d write the first citation of a source to look something like &#039;&#039;Assassin&#039;s Creed [Game]&#039;&#039; (&quot;&#039;&#039;AC [Game]&#039;&#039;&quot;) – [Memory] so readers know which game we mean later, but that&#039;s personal taste. Think of it as citing (Smith, John. &#039;&#039;Work&#039;&#039;, p.X), then ref&#039;ing it later as (Smith, p.X). &#039;&#039;We&#039;&#039; know &#039;&#039;ACR&#039;&#039; = &#039;&#039;Revelations&#039;&#039;, but only because we play the games. As for acronym confusion, why not use the ones written in the Era Icons? Thus, &#039;&#039;Revelations&#039;&#039;, &#039;&#039;Rogue&#039;&#039;, and &#039;&#039;Rebellion&#039;&#039; are &#039;&#039;RV&#039;&#039;, &#039;&#039;RG&#039;&#039;, and &#039;&#039;RB&#039;&#039;, respectively.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;My view on double links is on Sol&#039;s talk page, but in short, I see it as unneeded; we&#039;ve already linked &#039;&#039;AC2&#039;&#039; – Memory X, so why link AC2 on the same page again for Memory Y? But so long as the formatting with or without duplicates is consistent on a page, I don&#039;t think I&#039;ll mind.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;As precise as proper APA/MLA/etc citations are, I feel they&#039;d drag on casual readers, never mind being an insane workload here, what with 15K pages (and counting!). The &lt;nowiki&gt;{{Cite}}&lt;/nowiki&gt; template also has already encoded a format, so why adopt another one for games? I&#039;m fine with quotation marks in refs. A little specificity to as broad a citation as [Database] or [Weapon] can&#039;t hurt.</div>
