user32: I think it is very important that we allow only Manga references in the answers to any questions. I think that wiki references tend to loose context of the situation where the information came from. This may even lead to pple starting to answer with really unreliable sources as references and this might get the site credibility to decline. Thus, I think all the references should be from Manga/anime and not wikis
But all in all, the above is all my own opinion.
Thus, I ask you:
should wiki references be allowed?

user245: Even if you have a reference from the original source, a wiki reference is useful because it can be directly linked to (for verification and to provide extra background). In contrast, there's no reliable way to hyperlink to a specific point in a cartoon.

user111: I personally think they are Ok. Consider the following: 

Wikis are collaboratively edited, so they usually will not allow wrong data to be posted
most wikis have their own references to the sources (chapters/episodes)
It may take way too long to find references yourself. Sometimes I remember that something has happened, but can't remember in what exact chapter/episode did it happen. In this case, it's obviously impossible to recheck all of the chapters or episodes.
If the poster of the question accepts the answer, it means that he/she is satisfied, no matter what the sources were.
If you want exact references in a question you ask, feel free to explicitly state it, and not to accept any answers without them. 
If you think some answer is missing references, you can always leave a comment asking the author to add the. 


user27: There's nothing wrong with referencing any source you may find, and think that is credible. Whether you, the OP, accepts it as one, is your business.
If you wish for manga reference, ask the answerer politely in the comments to include them. If he does not oblige, do not accept his answer. It's as simple as that.
The wiki, from which the reference in question is taken, is (in my eyes) a relatively credible source, as it's regularly updated and maintained.
