References section

Hi @User:Boleyn, can you please explain to me your reasoning behind including a reference section in an unreferenced article? I don't know what BLPunref drive is and what this has to do with adding an empty section to a page. Cheers! Revirvlkodlaku (talk) 14:02, 1 April 2024 (UTC)

Hi, as these are all slowly getting refs as part of the drive, they all need sections, though I would argue all articles need references sections anyway, as if they don't have refs, they should :) It means it is there and ready for as refs are added (while going through these, quite a few did have refs, you just couldn't see them in a clear section). It can also further emphasise the need to add refs. There isn't any rule against having a references section which is waiting for references, and it will be useful.

Hi @User:Boleyn, thanks for the explanation, but as there doesn't seem to be a clear guideline for including empty ref sections, I can't agree with you. It doesn't make sense to me to have an empty section on a page—it just looks bad. The Citations template on top is sufficient to emphasize the need for refs, so I don't see the usefulness of an additional prompt at the bottom. I'm going to remove it in the meantime, as this discussion should have been started as soon as I first reverted you, but we can certainly continue discussing, in the hopes of reaching an agreement.

Theater-maker

Gerda Arendt, no character is named or called Theater-maker in the linked play. Wis2fan (talk) 04:16, 24 February 2026 (UTC)

(a ping works only when signed) The main character's name is Brucson, who is described per the title as a Theatermacher ("Theatre maker"). Perhaps there's a better word in English for someone who makes theatre, which - at least in German - has a double meaning, theatre also in the sense of (overly) dramatic behaviour, and this double meaning certainly meant in the play. "Mach kein Theater" is a synonym for "calm down, too much ado about little". It is unclear whom the author meant, and Claus Peymann was one of the candidates, an Intendant who made great things happen on stage, and not so great things by drama at courts. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 09:27, 24 February 2026 (UTC)
