'''{{tlx|{{PAGENAME}}}}''' is a powerful template for generating in-universe, inline [[T:CITE|citations]]. In its most basic usage, it produces a collapsible bit of information about the source being cited, pulled directly from the infobox, intended to supplement the [[T:PREFIX|prefix]]. However, the template also has options for citing [[# | '''{{tlx|{{PAGENAME}}}}''' is a powerful template for generating in-universe, inline [[T:CITE|citations]].

Clicking the <sup>[+]</sup> to the right of the source's name will reveal additional information about the source, intended to provide context to the reader regarding the origin of the source, allowing them to easily decide if it is something they're interested in. This information is automatically pulled from the infobox and generally requires no editor intervention (although you can [[#Customising the additional information|customise the additional information if desired]]). For this to work, the page for the source being cited '''must''' be using {{tlx|Bongolium500/Infobox Story SMW}}. If it is not, an [[#Errors and troubleshooting|error]] will be produced. Information about finetuning the text displayed here can be found in the Infobox's documentation. | Clicking the <sup>[+]</sup> to the right of the source's name will reveal additional information about the source, intended to provide context to the reader regarding the origin of the source, allowing them to easily decide if it is something they're interested in.
