===Source what you can===
Unlike topics covered by Wikipedia, there aren't many public reliable sources for Toki Pona. (In fact, this very wiki was made to fill that gap!)

This is especially necessary for Discord uploads; unarchived links will start to expire so that the files can only be accessed through Discord, which requires knowing where it was originally uploaded. {{Indent|
