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
<!-- disabled for the moment
|-
| twg || Reference a Timewasters Guide forum topic/post ||
|-
| sb || Reference a Stormblessed forum topic/post ||
|-
| sa || Reference a Stormlight Archive wikia article ||
|-
| t || Reference one of [[Brandon]]s Tweets || arguments are tweet ID and text to display
-->
|}

* 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
 
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.
== Common Usage ==
* Sometimes it is also useful to just annotate something with a reference, which this template can also be used for with the {{{text}}} parameter.
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:
* 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>.
* 'b' stands for book. See list of available shorthand [[Template:B|here]].
* 'c' stands for chapter, See list of variants [[Template:C|here]].
 
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.
Practical Examples for referencing [[The Way of Kings]]:
<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"
</pre>
