Template:Cite/doc

Usage
Necessary parameters: Optional parameters:

This template is used to cite spoken in-game text as a reference for a particular statement or assertion (see this page for additional information). tags must be added to make it appear as a reference.

Parameters
Three parameters are necessary for this template.

The first parameter is the quotation text, not including quotation marks.

The second is the character speaking this exact text, where it will appear exactly as typed (plain text) by default. Links should be added manually if required or appropriate, using the normal method of enclosing the name in square brackets. Links may also be piped if required.

The third parameter is the source in which the quote was said. For games, this should use the usual linking template (e.g. ). This can be left blank, however in most cases a different citation template should be used for such a source.

Optional named parameters are translation and note.

translation: Used for the English translation if a quote is in another language.

note: A note on the source. If the quote is translated, the note should include the original language.

Examples
Here are two examples as they would be written in the source editor followed by how they appear on the page, from the pages Phineas and Bluebear respectively:

Some cranky villagers believe that K.K. Slider's day job consists of being Phineas.

The letter received from Bluebear upon scanning her e-Reader card at the post office's eTM in states that she used to be brown, but drank so much cream soda and  that she turned light blue.
