+<onlyinclude>{{#invoke:Bongolium500/story cite|displayCitation}}</onlyinclude><noinclude>Basic usage of '''{{tlx|{{PAGENAME}}}}''' is extemely simple. Once the story you wish to cite has been converted to using the [[Template:Bongolium500/Infobox Story SMW|correct infobox]], simply cite the source using the format shown below:
+<pre>([[TV]]: {{User:Bongolium500/cite source|The Daleks (TV story)}})</pre>
+This produces ([[TV]]: {{User:Bongolium500/cite source|The Daleks (TV story)}}). Here is another example:
+<pre>([[PROSE]]: {{User:Bongolium500/cite source|Doctor Who in an Exciting Adventure with the Daleks (novelisation)}})</pre>
+It produces ([[PROSE]]: {{User:Bongolium500/cite source|Doctor Who in an Exciting Adventure with the Daleks (novelisation)}}). The <sup>+</sup> can be clicked in order to uncollapse some information about the cited story, taken from the infobox.
+== Citing parts of serials and comics ==
+Sometimes, it can be benneficial to cite specific parts of stories. For serials with named episodes, use the following format:
+<pre>([[TV]]: {{User:Bongolium500/cite source|The Daleks (TV story)|namedep=The Dead Planet (1)}})</pre>
+This produces ([[TV]]: {{User:Bongolium500/cite source|The Daleks (TV story)|namedep=The Dead Planet (1)}}). Note that the <nowiki>{{{namedep}}}</nowiki> field must match the section header on the stories page exactly. The episode number in the brackets is stripped automatically when displayed.
+For parts of comics, use the following format:
+<pre>([[COMIC]]: {{User:Bongolium500/cite source|The Klepton Parasites (comic story)|part=One}})</pre>
+This produces ([[COMIC]]: {{User:Bongolium500/cite source|The Klepton Parasites (comic story)|part=One}}). Unamed episodes of serials can be cited in a similar way. Simply swap out <nowiki>{{{part}}}</nowiki> for <nowiki>{{{ep}}}</nowiki>. Note that the field must match the exact format used on the section header, sans "Part" or "Episode". This includes capitalisation.
+== Citing variants ==
+Some stories have variants with slight differences. To accurately cite these, [[User:Bongolium500/store variant data|this template]] must be filled out with information about the variant and placed on the stories page below the infobox. Take note of the <nowiki>{{{variant}}}</nowiki> field. Variant citations use the following format:
+<pre>([[TV]]: {{User:Bongolium500/cite source|The Five Doctors (TV story)|var=special edition}})</pre>
+This produces ([[TV]]: {{User:Bongolium500/cite source|The Five Doctors (TV story)|var=special edition}}). The <nowiki>{{{var}}}</nowiki> field should be exactly the same as the <nowiki>{{{variant}}}</nowiki> field on the <nowiki>{{store variant data}}</nowiki> template.
