This template is used to refer to chapter summaries on the coppermind.

To use, include {{book ref|book|chapter}}

  • the book is expanded by {{b}}
  • the chapter should either be prologue, epilogue or the chapter number
  • if the second argument is `i` or `interlude` type the third argument is used as the interlude number
  • {{{pre}}} is included before the link
  • {{{post}}} is included after the link
  • {{{name}}} replaces the generated reference name
  • {{{group}}} sets the reference group

The following books have specific templates for referencing use:

  • Mistborn: Secret History uses {{msh ref|part|chapter}} as the chapters start at 1 in each part
  • The Emperor's Soul uses {{tes ref|day number}} as the chapters are numbered differently
  • Khriss' articles in Arcanum Unbounded use {{au ref|system name}} because they're not chapters
