The thing about this, Weedle, is that's not really what this website is for. We shouldn't concern ourselves with the finer details (like those things that are obviously included as jokes, or deducing characters personalities from how they say things) because it's just not what Wiki's are created for. It makes pages impenetrable from the outside, in a series where characters and events already seem impenetrable from the outside.

Like, look at this page for the "Hospital Escape." It details every single little thing that happens in the opening of The Phantom Pain. And I mean, everything, even the moment when Ahab and Ishmael run downstairs, notice guards, and then run back up. This is an unnecessary amount of detail for the Wiki. Those things all happen in the game to help tell it's story and create tension, but we're not here to help tell the story or carry the games themes. We're here to summarize the events for new fans and old fans who want to refresh their memories on how these things happened and how the timeline is all laid out. It turns an hour of gameplay into twenty paragraphs.

To any other Wiki that would be a joke. Why is it okay here?
