Template:Cite Interview

Purpose

Citation template used to cite references from interviews.

Usage

Citation templates must be enclosed in <ref></ref> tags in order to be properly displayed and sorted. Pages will also need a ==References== section with Template:Reflist. This section must be placed near the bottom of the page, before any navigation templates and categories.

This template includes several parameters for citing certain information. Separate parameters are provided for if an interview is sourced from a print publication or a web source. For formatting purposes, all parameters are left optional, but the appropriate sources must be named when using this template.

If the interview was originally published in a printed publication and reposted in a web source, such as a translation blog, both the publ and url parameters should be used.

Parameter	Description	Function
quote	The quoted text or transcription from the interview. This should include the full name of the interviewee, formatted as '''Name:''' Quote. If quoting from two or more persons, separate their lines with a /. For example: '''Person A:''' Quote. / '''Person B:''' Quote. This parameter should also be used when citing Japanese or non-English text. If a translation is available, add it to the translquote parameter.	Optional, but recommended
translquote	If the quoted text or transcription has been translated, use this parameter.	Optional; use for translations
publ	If the interview is sourced from a print publication, such as a book or magazine, name the publication here.	Optional; use if from a print publication
publisher	The publisher of the print publication.	Optional; use if from a print publication
page	The page(s) the interview is sourced from. Format this as p. 112 or pp. 112-113 for multiple pages.	Optional; use if from a print publication
url	If the interview is sourced from a web source, such as a webpage or video, add the direct URL to the web source and its title or description here. This must be formatted as an external link. For example: [https://www.google.com/ Google]	Optional; use if from a web source
archive	The direct URL to an archive of the web source, such as via The Internet Archive. This ensures that if any information on the original web source is changed or lost, then it can still be accessed and cross-referenced through an archive. This should also be formatted as an external link. If the original web source has since been lost and can only be accessed via an archive, link to the archived page in the URL parameter instead.	Optional
published	The date the interview was published, if available. Format as "Month Day, Year".	Optional
retrieved	The date the web source was retrieved for the citation. Format as "Month Day, Year".	Optional
site	The name of the website that the web page, document, file, etc, is hosted on. (E.g. Atlus.com, YouTube, etc.)	Optional
type	If the web source is not a HTML page, this parameter should specify what type of document it is. (E.g. Video, PDF File, JPEG Image, etc.) This can also be used to specify if the web source is an archive, a blog, etc.	Optional
transl	The source of the interview's translation. This parameter must be used if the translated text is sourced from a specific translator, especially if it was taken from a blog or website. Add the name of the translator or group, e.g. "DDSTranslation", etc.	Optional
