A citation template for TSR Trading Cards and Spellfire cards.

Usage

Place this after any sentence or section which references a TSR card as its source. Place the citation tag after any punctuation mark rather than before it.

The template takes the following parameters:

  • Card year: The first parameter is the year the card was published. Years between 1991 and 1996 are recognized. This parameter is required.
  • Card number: The second parameter is a number or range of numbers. If the card lists an "of" total, it's recommended to give the entire card number. E.g.: "233 of 500"
  • Card name: The third parameter is the name given on the text-side of the card. Optional.
  • Note: Optional parameter for adding a text note or quote from the card, especially if noting the race, level, or other detail from the card's text.

Syntax

  • Normal use : {{cite card|1991|77|Seragrimm}}
  • With note: {{cite card|1992|356|Cain Blizzard|note=Snow elf}}
  • with note: {{cite card|1993|315|Ashley the Grey|note=Investigator 13th}}
  • With longer name: {{cite card|1994|178|Seragrimm the Just}}
  • Minimum use: {{cite card|1995|223}}
  • With number range: {{cite card|1996|17 of 500|Temple of Elemental Evil}}

Some cards appear in more than one card set. Be sure of the year when citing:

  • {{cite card|1991|494|Mordenkainen}}
  • {{cite card|1992|165|Mordenkainen}}
  • {{cite card|1994|162|Mordenkainen}}

or:

  • {{cite card|1992|194|Kiara of Chendl}}
  • {{cite card|1995||77 of 500|Kiara}}

These produce:

[1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9] [10] [11]
