||
| + | This template is meant to standardize and simplify, the referencing process for most common sources to [[Brandon Sanderson]] information. References added with template will show at the bottom of the article in the footnotes section, as usual. |
||
| + | The template encapsulate the functionality of several [[Category:Link macros|link macro]] in order to simplify reference reuse, by automatically giving names to references with particular characteristics. |
||
| + | |||
| + | == Detailed Usage == |
||
| + | Generally the format to use the template is: <code>{{t|ref|First parameter|Additional arguments...}}</code> |
||
| + | |||
| + | The ''First parameter'' determines which arguments should be passed after. See list of available parameters: |
||
| + | {| class=infobox width=100% |
||
| + | |- |
||
| + | ! class=title | First parameter |
||
| + | ! class=title | Meaning |
||
| + | ! class=title | Notes |
||
| + | |- |
||
| + | | a || Reference another wiki article || argument 3 acts as an alternative link title |
||
| + | |- |
||
| + | | b || Reference a book or chapter || 3 arguments passed to {{t|b}}, reusable |
||
| + | |- |
||
| + | | ? || Reference a question in Theoryland's Q&A database || 2 arguments become interwiki to the [http://www.theoryland.com/listintv.php Theoryland interview database], the third becomes the text, reusable by first 2 |
||
| + | |- |
||
| + | | [[Template:17s|17s]] || Reference a 17th Shard forum topic/post || Second argument is name of third, fourth is text to display, reusable by 1 and 4 |

| + | |} |
||
| + | * For detailed instructions see the individual template pages. |
||
| ⚫ | |||
| + | * If the first argument does not match one of the arguments in the table, the contents of the first argument are directly wrapped in ref tags. |
||
| + | * see [[:Category: Reference templates]] for other templates to be using instead |
||
| + | == Common Usage == |
||
| − | This template is mainly used to in definitions of the individual [[:Category: Reference templates|reference templates]], though there are a few cases where it is used directly. |
||
| + | Commonly you'll be referencing books, thus the format will look similar to this: <code>{{t|ref|b|book shorthand|c|chapter shorthand}}</code> where: |
||
| − | * Sometimes it is also useful to just annotate something with a reference, which this template can also be used for with the {{{text}}} parameter. |
||
| + | * 'b' stands for book. See list of available shorthand [[Template:B|here]]. |
||
| − | * It is also used when another [[:Category: Reference templates|reference templates]] has been used with <code>name=X</code>, in which case that reference can be cited again with <code><nowiki>{{ref|name=X}}</nowiki></code>. |
||
| + | * 'c' stands for chapter, See list of variants [[Template:C|here]]. |
||
| + | Practical Examples for referencing [[The Way of Kings]]: |
||
| − | For most situations, however, the other reference templates should be used as they offer more structure. See [[Help:Cite]] for more details on using references. |
||
| + | <pre> |
||
| + | {{ref|b|sa1|c|9}} - will create a reference to "The Way of Kings, Chapter 9", |
||
| + | {{ref|b|sa1|i|9}} - will create a reference to "The Way of Kings, Interlude 9" |
