In other notes, I'm trying to lessen Turtlepedia's reliance on TMNT Entity references even more. I personally don't think it should be treated as any kind of primary reference anymore, unless corroborated by even more reliable references, which would make referencing it unnecessary anyway. Turtlepedia can eventually be made into an even more reliable third-party reference itself, with enough effort. I can see why it's unnecessary to reference a separate third-party reference site anyway&mdash;it basically tells readers, "Don't read our third-party reference, read their third-party reference." Our references should preferably be backed up by official sources and verification, but I'd settle in many cases for the contents of the published works themselves, hence the added value of galleries and transcripts.

I think this also means no longer relying on TMNT Entity's Mirage continuity reference as an authority on story ordering. There was never a single official Mirage timeline anyway, and the main series themselves were mostly in sequence.
