Template:Cite source

Basic usage of  is extremely simple. Once the story you wish to cite has been converted to using the correct infobox, simply cite the source using the format shown below:

(TV: )

This produces (TV: ). Here is another example:

(PROSE: )

It produces (PROSE: ). The + can be clicked in order to uncollapse some information about the cited story, taken from the infobox.

Citing parts of serials and comics
Sometimes, it can be benneficial to cite specific parts of stories. For serials with named episodes, use the following format:

(TV: )

This produces (TV: ). Note that the field must match the section header on the stories page exactly. The episode number in the brackets is stripped automatically when displayed.

For parts of comics, use the following format:

(COMIC: )

This produces (COMIC: ). Unamed episodes of serials can be cited in a similar way. Simply swap out for. Note that the field must match the exact format used on the section header, sans "Part" or "Episode". This includes capitalisation.

Citing variants
Some stories have variants with slight differences. To accurately cite these, this template must be filled out with information about the variant and placed on the stories page below the infobox. Take note of the field. Variant citations use the following format:

(TV: )

This produces (TV: ). The field should be exactly the same as the  field on the  template.

Multiple variants can also co-exist for the same story. For example,

(TV: )

(TV: )

(TV: )

You can also cite parts with variants:

(TV: )

Accurate citations
Sometimes, with books, it can be useful to cite specific editions, chapters and pages. This is done with the,  and  fields, used for the edition, chapter and page(s) respectively. They can be used in any combination, but it is encouraged to always use with  as page numbers can change between editions. Some examples are below:

(PROSE: )

This produces (PROSE: ).

(PROSE: )

This produces (PROSE: ).

(PROSE: )

This produces (PROSE: ). Note how "page" becomes "pages" when the dash is added.

The same that has just been said about books also applies to TV and audios. In edition to and , you can also add timestamps:

(AUDIO: )

(AUDIO: )

(AUDIO: )

(AUDIO: )

(AUDIO: )

(AUDIO: )
