'''{{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 [[#Citing parts and episodes|specific parts and episodes]], [[#Citing variants|variants of sources that don't have their own page]] and [[#Precise citations|exact page numbers and timestamps]]. | '''{{tlx|{{PAGENAME}}}}''' is a powerful template for generating in-universe, inline [[T:CITE|citations]].

Basic usage is very simple. When citing a source, instead of linking to the source like usual, wrap in this template, like this: <tt><nowiki>{{</nowiki>{{PAGENAME}}|source's page name}}</tt>. For example, if citing ''[[The Daleks (TV story)|The Daleks]]'', you would type:<pre>([[TV]]: {{User:Bongolium500/cite source|The Daleks (TV story)}})</pre>This produces the following: | <span id="Basic usage"/>Basic usage is very simple.
