Template:PlainCiteGodLetter

Template documentation

This documentation is transcluded from Template:PlainCiteGodLetter/doc.

Usage

This template exactly like Template:CiteGodLetter, 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 {{CiteGodLetter}} would as a non-reference. This is desirable if a certain God Letter 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.

{{PlainCiteGodLetter |url= |issue= |letter= |title= |notes= |date=~~~~~}}

URL

Supply the full URL to the God Letter, including the http://.

Issue

The issue number of the God Letter. Found at the top next to the title. Do not include "Issue ", supply only a number.

Letter

This is for specifying the number of the letter being cited. This field contains no formatting, therefore type exactly what you wish to appear. For example, the first letter and its reply are "Letter 1", the second is "Letter 2", and so on. It may also be necessary to use "Introduction" other descriptors to cover information which is outside of a normal letter and reply format.

Title

The title of the God Letter, found at the top of the page in the tan ovoid header and also here. Do not include "Issue # - ".

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 auotmatically be converted to the proper date and time format. When verifying the reference, delete whatever is provided and change it to ~~~~~.
