== Citing variants == | == Citing variants == | ||
''to | Sources sometimes have one or more variants that aren't deserving of their own source page and so are covered on the same page as their "parent" source, such as animated reconstructions or audiobook readings. Occasionally, these variants can present unique information and so may want to be specifically cited. To do so, the variant should first be defined on the source's page using {{tlx|User:Bongolium500/store variant data}}. Then, the variant being cited should specified as follows: <tt><nowiki>{{</nowiki>{{PAGENAME}}|source's page name|var=variant name}}</tt>. The variant name used by the <tt>|var=</tt> parameter should be exactly the same as the variant name set in {{tlx|User:Bongolium500/store variant data}} as the <tt>|variant=</tt> parameter. For example, to cite the special edition of ''[[The Five Doctors (TV story)|The Five Doctors]]'', you would type:<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}}) | |||
This works with citing parts as well. For example, if you wanted to cite part 3 of the animated reconstruction of ''[[The Faceless Ones (TV story)|The Faceless Ones]]'', you would type:<pre>([[TV]]: {{User:Bongolium500/cite source|The Faceless Ones (TV story)|var=animated reconstruction|ep=3}})</pre>This produces: | |||
: ([[TV]]: {{User:Bongolium500/cite source|The Faceless Ones (TV story)|var=animated reconstruction|ep=3}}) | |||
