A citation template for Dungeons & Dragons sourcebooks. To make it easier to type, it is also aliased to the code {{csb}}.
Usage
Place this after any sentence or section which references a D&D sourcebook as its source. Place the citation tag after any punctuation mark rather than before it.
Full entries for sources used should still be placed in a"Bibliography" or "Further Reading" section.
The template takes the following parameters:
- Book name: The first parameter is the name of the sourcebook. A number of popular abbreviations and aliases are recognized, including many series codes (e.g. T1-4, L3), Encyclopedia Greyhawkania abbreviations (LGG, TAB) and common aliases (e.g. "Folio", "Box Set"). This parameter is required.
- Page number: The second parameter is a number or range of numbers.
- Sub-book: The third parameter is which book of a box set or chapter, subsection, or section title. Normally unnecessary.
- Prefix: A module code. NOTE: This is almost never used, as the template automatically adds the prefix for known Greyhawk books.
- Note: Optional. Used to add a text quote, author's name, or other note after the text.
Syntax
{{csb|Greyspace|7}}
{{csb|Living Greyhawk Gazetteer|21-25}}
{{csb|World of Greyhawk Box Set|9|Guide}} or {{csb|WoG|9|Guide}}
{{csb|Treasures of Greyhawk|32-40|Bigby's Modest Home}}
{{csb|T1-4|12}}
{{csb|Shadow of the Serpent|3|note=Jeff Richards. RPGA. (2004)}}
This produces:
- ↑ SJR6 Greyspace (1992), p.7.
- ↑ Living Greyhawk Gazetteer (2000), p.21-25.
- ↑ World of Greyhawk Box Set, p.9, Guide.
- ↑ World of Greyhawk Fantasy Game Setting (1983), p.9, Guide.
- ↑ WGR2 Treasures of Greyhawk (1992), p.32-40, Bigby's Modest Home.
- ↑ T1-4 The Temple of Elemental Evil (1985), p.12.
- ↑ Shadow of the Serpent, p.3. Jeff Richards. RPGA. (2004)
You can cite any book with this template. However, magazines have their own templates.
