Purpose

This is a variant of {{Cite Book}} that is to be used when pulling a quote or information from a strategy guide supported by Template:Guide. For other guides, Template:Cite Book may be used instead.

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.)
