A reference, or citation, is a line of text that uniquely identifies a source. All information on this wiki should be properly referenced. To add a reference, use the template {{ref}} in the source code editor, and follow the guidelines outlined on this page.

Referencing the manga and/or the anime[]

Copy the code below and add numbers (ch = manga chapter, p = page number, ep = anime episode):

{{ref|ch = |p = |ep = }}
  • Referencing a manga chapter only
Example: {{ref|ch = 1}} [1]
  • Referencing a manga chapter with a page number. You can also reference multiple pages.
Example: {{ref|ch = 72|p = 66}} [2] or {{ref|ch = 73|p = 1-18}} [3]
  • Referencing an anime episode
Example: {{ref|ep = 20}} [4]
  • Referencing a manga chapter and an anime episode
Example: {{ref|ch = 72|p = 66|ep = 20}} [5]

Numbering guidelines[]

When numbering manga pages, use the online chapters at Tonari.

  • The title page counts as one page.
    • Chapters with multiple parts may have multiple title pages (e.g., Chapter 21); each title page counts as one page.
  • Double-page spreads count as two pages.

Referencing the webcomic[]

The manga should be used as the primary reference source. However, for webcomic information not shown in the manga, use the following code (wch = webcomic chapter, wp = page number). DO NOT mix the ch and wch parameters:

{{ref|wch = |wp = }}
  • Referencing a webcomic chapter
Example: {{ref|wch = 1}} [6]
  • Referencing a webcomic chapter and page number. You can also reference multiple pages.
Example:{{ref|wch = 1|wp = 1}} [7] or {{ref|wch = 1|wp = 1-8}} [8]

Numbering guidelines[]

  • Webcomic chapters do not have title pages. Begin count from the first page of illustrations.

Referencing other sources[]

To write a custom citation, simply use the blank {{ref}} template:

{{ref| }}
  • Writing a custom reference
Example: {{ref|''One-Punch Man'' Encyclopedia; [[One-Punch Man: Hero Encyclopedia]]}} [9]
  • Appending information to a reference
Example: {{ref|ch = 1|p = 1|and additional information}} [10]
  • Referencing an Omake
Example: {{ref|''One-Punch Man'' Omake; [[Taste]]}} [11]
  • Referencing an OVA
Example: {{ref|''One-Punch Man'' OVA; [[OVA 1|"A Shadow That Snuck Up Too Close"]]}} [12]
  • To reference an interview or a stream, refer to the exact section of the page.
Example: {{ref|''One-Punch Man'' Stream; [[Interviews/Stream_Q/A_4#23.2F6.2F2018|23/6/2018]]}} [13]
  • When referencing an external source, such as a Tweet, use a hyperlink. Link text can be the plain URL or a title descriptive of the reference source. Proper citation formatting is not necessary.
Example: {{ref|https://twitter.com/NEBU_KURO/status/1190265002713681921}} [14] or {{ref|[https://twitter.com/NEBU_KURO/status/1190265002713681921 Murata Tweet about the chapter release]}} [15]

Using a reference multiple times on the same page[]

To use a reference multiple times on the same page, assign a name to the name parameter (a name cannot consist of only numbers and cannot have spaces). Choose a name descriptive of the claim for easier future identification of the reference. This name can now be used anywhere on the page.

  • Example: Saitama kills Vaccine Man.{{ref|ch = 1|name = SaitamaKillsVM}}: Saitama kills Vaccine Man.[16]
    Now use the name somewhere else on the page: {{ref|name = SaitamaKillsVM}} [16]
    And again[16] and again.[16]

Formatting and style[]

Adding the list of references[]

The footnote list should always be present at the bottom of an article when a reference exists on the page:

{{-}}
==References==
<references />

For pages with a large number of references, use a scroll box.

{{-}}
==References==
{{Scroll Box|content=<references />}}

Other notes[]

  • If you see an article with insufficient references, add the code [[Template:Ref needed]] to add it to this category.
  • If you see a sentence or claim that needs a reference, add the {{fact}} template where the reference would go. The superscripted text links to this page, so it appears only as bolded text in the example below.
Example: This sentence is in need of a reference.{{fact}}
Output: This sentence is in need of a reference.[citation needed]
  • References should be added at the end of a sentence, after the closing punctuation.
Example: This is an example sentence.[17]
  • If individual parts of a list need sources, use references after every list item.
Example: This is a claim,[18] a second claim,[19] and a third claim.[20]
