Template:Cite Person/Documentation

Purpose

This is a variant of the {{Cite}} template that is to be used when you're quoting a person, such as a Zelda series developer. This is to be used to cite sources and should be used within <ref></ref> tags. Please read Guidelines:References for more information.

Usage

Blank code:

<ref>{{Cite Person|quote= |name= |url= |title= }}</ref>

Usage:

• Quote — The quoted text from the person.
• Author — The name of the person being quoted in "first-name last-name" format (use usernames if nessecary).
• Url — The direct URL to the website that hosts the quote. Try to limit the amount of redirects a URL uses.
• Title — The title of the article or document that hosts the quote.

Make sure to surround this template with <ref></ref> tags so it gets put into a box like this: ^[1]
