Template:PlainCiteNPC/doc

This is a documentation subpage for Template:PlainCiteNPC. It contains usage information, categories, and other content that is not part of the original template page.

Usage

This template exactly like Template:CiteNPC, with two exceptions. First, it is not a reference template in the sense that it does not create footnote-styled references. Instead, it creates the same text that {{CiteNPC}} would as a non-reference. This is desirable if a certain NPC-quote is the source of the majority of an article, as having the same reference at the end of every sentence. Second, it does not have the "name" parameter, as this only applies to footnote-style references.

{{PlainCiteNPC |npc= |loc= |quote= |notes= |date=~~~~~}}

NPC

The name of the Non-player character being cited.

Loc

The name of the Quest, Holiday event, or other piece of game content during or after which the NPC says the quote being cited, if applicable. Note that this is not the location that the NPC can be found. Set to "no" if the NPC does not say the quote during any specific event.

Quote

What the NPC says that is being cited, quoted verbatim. Try to keep this short but relevant.

Notes

Optional. This parameter allows you to add text beginning one space after end end of the citation. Having no formatting (meaning you will have to format it yourself), this area can be used for anything you require.

Date

Leave this field as ~~~~~, it will automatically be converted to the proper date and time format. When verifying the reference, delete whatever is provided and change it to ~~~~~.
