Hey, sorry I didn't respond to this sooner. I've had a pretty busy week and got on to make some edits here and there.

This sounds like a very good idea. I do need a better idea of how these would work, though. Would these templates be used in articles, or, say, on the front page like some sort of "feed?" If in the former, I think the citations work well enough with the References section. That is how most Wikis treat them, as far as I'm aware. Template:BFF may be a better way to format forum references to distinguish official developer comments on the forum from other sources; we could simply adapt that template and apply it to other social media commonly used by the developers (which tend to be Reddit and Twitter), creating separate templates for those. It may be good to mention the username of the developer commenting in those templates since it is public social media rather than the official forums for the game itself. I think Template:BFF is good as it is though.

Or are you referring to pages that need frequent updating like the Community Transmissions article? In that case, I'm not sure. Perhaps we could do some sort of dropdown where you can "expand" the details: see this Game of Thrones Wiki article for example, referring to the template on the right. This would certainly clean it up as, even with Template:BFF, it may still appear somewhat long and cluttered.
