This is the Epithet Erased Wiki's Citation Policy. Citations are important because it allows the reader to easily check sources and know where information comes from.
Adding a Citation[edit source]
Visual Mode[edit source]
To create a new citation, click:
and use one of the protocols found in the next section.
To reuse one, copy one that already exists. Then, paste or click:
Source Mode[edit source]
In source mode, you add a citation with the <ref></ref>, with the citation in the middle of the two, using one of the protocols found in the next section. To reuse them, change <ref> to <ref name=""> with a reusable name in between the "". To reuse the citation elsewhere in the article, insert <ref name=""/> and put the previous reusable name in between the "".
When & How to Use Citations[edit source]
Note: As of now, not every citation on this wiki follows these protocols. We are currently working to absolve that, as we are now just finalizing them.
You should use citations anytime a source can be traced from the information you've added, including Epithet Erased episodes and novels. This is especially pertinent for when the source is obscure or specific.
Epithet Erased Episode[edit source]
Whenever you cite an Epithet Erased episode in a wiki article, format it like so:
[[Epithet Erased]] | [[<link to article> | EP<ep #> - <episode title>]]
The citation should be named "EP<ep #>".
Novel[edit source]
Whenever you cite an Epithet Erased Novel in a wiki article, format a chapter like so:
[[<book title>]], Chapter <ch #>: <chapter title>
The citation should be named "<abbreviated book title><ch><chapter #>".
In the case of a prologue, format it like so:
[[<book title>]], Prologue <prologue letter>: <prologue title>
The citation should be named "<abbreviated book title><pro><prologue letter>".
Twitter[edit source]
Whenever you cite a Twitter post, please use the following format:
[<link> <twitter account name> - <date>]
Or, when applicable:
[link [title of tweet of thread] - <date> - <Twitter account name> (<number of tweets deep in thread>)]
Or:
[link <twitter account name> in response to <twitter account name> - <date>]
With the entire name linking to the source tweet.

Citation Hierarchy[edit source]
Sometimes there are many places where you can find information, and for sake of not clogging up the pages, I've made a hierarchy. You should only cite from the highest tier available. It should also be noted that more recent information should be taken as fact.
- Incredibly Prevalent Information: When information is found so often in Epithet erased Media to the point of it being such a hassle to cite it, it shouldn't be cited. I.e. Molly Blyndeff's epithet being "Dumb".
- Episodes/Novels:
- 1st Level Other Media: Epithet TTRPG, Songs, Comic Dubs, Streams FaQs, interviews, etc.
- JelloApocalaspe Social Media:
- Other Crew Social Media:
- Anime Campaign Info:
Citation Tags[edit source]
Citation Tags are tags that an be placed to note something about citations. These are:
Citation Needed[edit source]
Citation Needed is a citation tag that should be added at the end of a statement that needs to be sourced but, for whatever reason, you cannot acquire the source or the source is not there.
{{CitNeeded}}
There is also a version of this for a whole section without sections: Template:CitationNeeded
Out of Order[edit source]
Out of Order is a citation tag that should be added at the end of a citation whose link no longer functions. These should be replaced with a working citation when possible.
{{OoO}}
