Help:Custom Templates

This page contains instructions on using custom templates created specifically for the Paravia Wiki.

Footnotes

Short quotes for the purposes of illustration are allowed by copyright law, as long as credit is given. To cite a source, the <ref /> tag can be used, with all citations placed in a <references> tag at the bottom of a page:

''"This quote about Arithon was spoken in Curse of the Mistwraith."''<ref name="cotm-arithon" />
Janny Wurts posted about Morriel's style.<ref name="chat-diamonds" />
Something about lanes from the Author's FAQ.<ref name="faq-lanes" />

==References==
<references>
<ref name="cotm-arithon">&copy; Janny Wurts, <u>[[Curse of the Mistwraith]]</u>, p. 237 (US-Hardback)</ref>
<ref name="chat-diamonds">[https://forum.urizone.net/t/whats-up/277/12 Forum Post], October 22, 2008</ref>
<ref name="faq-lanes">[http://www.paravia.com/JannyWurts/website/AuthorsNotes/FAQ/Athera.html Author's FAQ]</ref>
</references>

will result in the following text:

"This quote about Arithon was spoken in Curse of the Mistwraith." Janny Wurts posted about Morriel's style. Something about lanes from the Author's FAQ. References

A good convention to follow when naming your <ref> tag is "whatIsTheSource-whatIsGettingCited".

Quote Box

To separate some text with italics and a box (possibly a long quotation), the Box template can be used:

{{Box|Hello!}}

will result in the following text:

Hello!

Please make sure you cite quotations of copyrighted material.

Spoilers

Before posting information from books which some readers may not have read yet, a spoiler warning should be provided. The Spoiler template can be used:

{{Spoiler|[[Traitor's Knot]]}}

will result in the following text:

Spoiler warning: Contains plot elements from Traitor's Knot.

For an entry which may have information from multiple books, the text "multiple books in the series" can be put in the Spoiler tag. Each paragraph following the tag should begin with the specific book being spoiled.
