Template:SourceFilter/doc

{{SourceFilter}} is a template designed to be used alongside a few other templates. Primary documentation for all 3 that editors would generally use can be found here.

Usage

The purpose of these templates is to allow the filtering of entries on timeline pages. If you decide to implement this system on a page, you must first add {{SourceFilterTop}} to the top of the main 'Timeline' section. You can then begin to tag entries with this template. To tag an entry, add this template above the paragraph for the given entry. Add each tag as a separate argument, separated by a pipe (|). A list of possible tags are provided here. After the entry, you must add {{SourceFilterEnd}} to close the entry.

Example

* [[PROSE]]: ''[[Dr. Thirteenth (novel)|Dr. Thirteenth]]''
: Yaz is celebrating her birthday, setting this between ''A New Beginning'', where her age is given as 19 in her character biography, and ''The Secret in Vault 13'', where she is 20. However, Yaz is still referred to as 19-years-old in her Titan Comics bio due to Titan Comics' method of reusing the same bio for every issue. Yaz is also advertised as being 19-years-old in the Series 11 promotional material, implying a setting after ''Resolution'' as well.
