I believe multiple outlets have written articles on an ongoing sexist backlash against the game having a femals protagonist, coming from the usual crowd of people. It's an ongoing issue, but it seems to be getting a lot of coverage. Thoughts? 46.97.170.154 (talk) 12:01, 21 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Hi Darkage7! WP:CITELEAD is a style guideline, it says there is no need for an inline reference in the lead (or in the infobox for that matter). You might want to double check, I actually didn't remove but simply moved the reference. I moved it down and put a bit in the development section, which probably will be expanded to a release section pretty soon. With your revert, you also put the unnecessary bit about a rating in South Korea. Would you mind undoing your revert? Thanks, and happy editing! soetermans. ↑↑↓↓←→←→ B A TALK 19:19, 9 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hello. I found that MOS article shortly after making the change, but I read it to actually encourage us to put the citation there. Feels weird to state a fact of wikipedia and just not cite it until much later, when named citations are a thing.
Although the presence of citations in the lead is neither required in every article nor prohibited in any article, there is no exception to citation requirements specific to leads. The necessity for citations in a lead should be determined on a case-by-case basis by editorial consensus. Complex, current, or controversial subjects may require many citations; others, few or none.
Thanks! Usually I try to keep refs out of the lead, with the many, many things that can be cited but that's not an issue at this point. soetermans. ↑↑↓↓←→←→ B A TALK 19:50, 9 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
