Template:Cite
Template documentation (view)
Usage
Necessary parameters:
{{Cite|{{{1}}}|{{{2}}}|{{{3}}}}}
Optional parameters:
{{Cite|{{{1}}}|{{{translation}}}|{{{2}}}|{{{3}}}|{{{note}}}}}
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). <ref> 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. {{NL}}). This can be left blank, however in most cases a different citation template should be used for such a source.
Optional named parameters are translationnote
translation
note
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]] [[villager]]s believe that [[K.K. Slider]]'s day job consists of being Phineas.<ref>{{Cite|No one knows where he comes from or why he does it, but sometimes there's a guy who hands out prizes. My theory is that this is K.K.

The letter received from Bluebear upon scanning her [[e-Reader card]] at the [[post office]]'s eTM in {{DnMe+}} states that she used to be brown, but drank so much cream soda and {{Wp|Ramune}} that she turned light blue.<ref>{{Cite|おのね、クリームソーダとかラムネぼっかり のんでたらからだが だんだんみずいろになってきたの！ むかしほ これでも ちゃいろだったのにー。．．．でも、きれいでしょー？|translation=You know, I've had so much cream soda and Ramune that my body has turned a light blue!
