Purpose[edit]
This is a variant of the {{cite}} template that is to be used when you're pulling a quote or information from a book that is NOT A MANUAL, such as a strategy guide or any of the manga. This is to be used to cite sources, and should be used within <ref></ref> tags.
This template can also be used in FileInfo to source an image, in which case <ref></ref> tags should not be used. (Leave the "quote" field blank.)
Usage[edit]
To use, enter this code:
- {{Cite book| quote= [the quote]| book= [book title]| publisher= [the book's publisher]| page= [the page(s) the quote appears on]}}
Replace the parts in [ brackets ] like so:
- quote
- The direct quote.
- book
- The FULL TITLE of the book that the quote is from.
- publisher
- The publisher of the book (Nintendo, Prima Games, etc.).
- page
- The number of the page(s) the quote appears on.
Example:
{{cite book|quote= ...Telma is actually the leader of a resistance force...|book= The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess Premium Edition strategy guide|publisher= Prima Games|page= 16}}
Will generate:
- "...After sharpening your knife, it's time to do the same to your pencil..." (How To Sharpen Pencils (Melville House), pg. 45)
