Quick citation

For quick references you can avoid using fields. By simply using the following. It however is not recommended as the above goes into more detail. But for fast sourcing it helps.

The first field is the "Game" field and Acronyms can be used. The second field is the link itself. The third field is if the link has a suffix on the end.
