Naming citations

[edit]

I'm trying to polish the article a bit, reorganizing contents and simplifying the texts. In doing so, I'm always attributing names to citations (references). This should facilitate reusing them and I wanted to invite other editors to do the same, at least for articles that might be mentioned more than one time. :) ► LowLevel (talk) 19:06, 20 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I will explain how named references have been used; it might simplify to other editors the search of information:
  • source-announcement: an article published at the beginning of April 2022 that states that the game was announced
  • source-interview: the first main interviews with Gilbert and Grossman, full of information on many topics
  • source-lastgame: article that supports the claim that the game will conclude the series
  • source-mim: article about the "Monkey Island Mondays", sometimes they report details about the UI or the settings
  • source-releasedate: article with information on the release date, the pre-ordering and the "horse armor" DLC
  • source-backlash: article written after the first wave of backlash
  • source-harassment: article written after Gilbert received insults and closed the comments on his blog

Ending

[edit]

The plot section currently describes the ending like this.

“Descending beneath Monkey Island, Guybrush follows the catacombs and opens a hidden door. He emerges in a theme park recreation of Melee Island, revealing LeChuck and the others to all be animatronics. Guybrush opens the chest containing the secret and finds a novelty T-shirt inside. Boybrush finds this ending unsatisfying. Elaine arrives and invites Guybrush to join her on a new adventure.”

I recently played through the game, and this is NOT how it ended in my playthrough. There was simply no way to open the chest containing the secret, and I simply walked off with Elaine. The epilogue then featured Guybrush telling his son the secret was simply and adventure. Tvx1 16:58, 16 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The ending has variations, which depend on the player's choices/actions. The chest can be opened, and its key is held by one of the animatronic puppets right next to it. Here's a video claiming to have all endings.--LaukkuTheGreit (TalkContribs) 18:22, 16 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Then the article should reflect that instead of arbitrarily chosing one possible ending as thé ending. Tvx1 17:19, 17 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
