Using Fandom Wiki as a source

kmadonia
Hi! I'm needing to use the fandom wiki site as a reference in my essay but I don't know what reference type it would be. Would it be forum? Web page? Blog post?

(For reference, I'm trying to cite a page within a page- specifically the "Sun Flares" page under the Maze Runner page)

Thanks!

    I would go with "encyclopedia article" (even though, strictly speaking, it's not an encyclopedia)

    It honestly doesn't matter all that much (remember that you're mainly citing for two reasons -- to give credit for ideas and to allow others to follow your sources -- and any item type will work for that).

    Conceptually, I agree encylopedia works well, pragmatically I'd go with webpage because that's more generally supported in citation styles.
