::I understand, but we are already using it alot on other pages. It's good that we take care and make the Wiki available and functional on mobile devices but most of them are so limited and different in what they can display, that we won't be able to deal with all those problems. I know that people tend to use computers less and switch to phones and other stuff but aslong those devices have so limited capabilities it is ridiculous to take over the responsibility for all our readers to use their PCs once in a while. I think, we will do fine aslong we only use those problematic functions for information that is not critical. [[User:Bakeneko|Bakeneko]] 06:37, 23 December 2012 (UTC)
::On the original point, it's more to do with the fact that there are multiple sources for many things, so there's no point listing them. The enemy names for example, some are listed in the manual and the rest are listed in at least two guides I've seen with no differences between them. Discrepancies between sources are actually quite rare. And while I generally agree on your basic point, for the older games the manuals were vital and provided a ton of information that the games themselves simply were not able to due to hardware limitations. That's why everything is in katakana, for example, but most Japanese people wouldn't refer to all these things in katakana, only names and those that are based on English words. So that's where the manuals come into play. Also pretty much all the backstory is in the manuals, the in-game plot is incredibly minimal for the first two games. For later games (Ocarina onwards or so) the manuals become largely irrelevant. I think players can assume that Impa's name is taken from the manual for example, given that she's never mentioned in the game, so a tag showing the source isn't required. We don't need to overdo it. {{:User:Fizzle/sig}} 15:30, 23 December 2012 (UTC)
