|-
|<code>file</code>
|Used to specify the file's name. Must be specified or you'll get a template error.
|-
|<code>type</code>
|Used to specify the file extension. <code>xml</code> by default.
|-
|<code>name</code>
|Used to specify a name for the citation itself, so one can use that citation again later via <code><nowiki><ref name="name-goes-here"/></nowiki></code>
|}
 
== Usage ==
See the bottom of the page for the results of these examples.
 
If you simply want to create a citation for an XML file that you don't plan on using again:
<pre><nowiki>{{File Reference
| file=FileName
}}</nowiki></pre>{{File Reference
| file=FileName
}}
 
If you need to specify a file extension that isn't XML, say for example, TXT:
<pre><nowiki>{{File Reference
| file=FileName
| type=txt
}}</nowiki></pre>{{File Reference
| file=FileName
| type=txt
}}
 
If you need to give the citation a name so you can use it again later:
<pre><nowiki>{{File Reference
| file=FileName
| name=CitationName
}}</nowiki></pre>{{File Reference
| file=FileName
| name=CitationName
}}
 
If you do this, you can use that citation again without creating a new one. In this case, you'd do so via <code><nowiki><ref name="CitationName"/></nowiki></code>
<ref name="CitationName"/>
