{{t|better source}}
*Having some sort of reference is better than nothing, however some sources are more trustworthy than others. In order to ensure that we are transparent about where we are getting our info, and how reliable that info is, this template can be used (once again, following the reference in the text) to flag any iffy references.

*This is to be used for images that haven't been provided a source. In the past, {{SITENAME}} has had a large amount of images (character artwork in particular) which weren't provided a source, were edited without being marked as such, or were redrawn, which has created a situation in which it is difficult, if not impossible, to tell if a piece of artwork is genuine or not. To combat this, the {{t|aboutfile}} template was created, which emphasises providing the exact source of a file and a field to detail edits made if any. While it may be preferable to, say, crop an image and remove the background to make it transparent, and in some cases correct the colors, it is important to be unfront about these edits. Note that if an image is uploaded without a source, ''it is likely to get deleted''.
