Talk:List of allusions/@comment-1045255-20171003150205/@comment-4531340-20171003214634

The animation error page is speculation by the wiki's standards - as it can't be verified for certain (without sources) whether or not supposed errors are just that, or whether they're just intentional touches made by the animators. Statistics don't really add substantive content, and there is a virtually limitless amount of statistics that can be derived from any given episode, or comic, or what-have-you, so that was just placed into the speculation forum to keep that sort of thing off to the side, so it didn't clog up a main namespace page and become too much of a distraction (I believe).

By contrast, there are a finite number of allusions in each piece of official material, they are substantive content, and they are either exceedingly obvious (as in, the allusion and originating material can be compared and anyone can plainly see them) or have sources confirming them. (And in case they meet neither of those criteria, there is also a speculation forum for allusions).
