Template:Cite Magazine

Purpose

Citation template used to cite references from magazines.

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. For more information on citing references and using citation templates, consult the citations guidelines.

Citation templates include several parameters for citing certain kinds of information pertaining to the source. Some parameters may be required and must be filled, while others may only be highly recommended or are optional.

Parameter	Description	Function
quote	The quoted text from the magazine issue. When citing from an interview, format as thus: Include the full bolded name of the interviewee, formatted as '''Name:''' Quote. When quoting from two or more persons, separate their lines with a dash /. 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 has been translated, use this parameter. Use the same formatting style defined for quote.	Optional; use for translations
