Template:File Reference

This template can be used to reference games files other than those present in the assembly, such as XML files.

Parameter	Notes
file	Used to specify the file's name. Must be specified or you'll get a template error.
type	Used to specify the file extension. xml by default.
name	Used to specify a name for the citation itself, so one can use that citation again later via <ref name="name-goes-here"/>
note	Used to add a note to the end of the citation if further clarification is necessary/desired.

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:

{{File Reference
| file=FileName
}}

If you need to specify a file extension that isn't XML, say for example, TXT:

{{File Reference
| file=FileName
| type=.txt
}}

If you need to specify a file that has no extension, simply do so by specifying type and leaving it blank.

{{File Reference
| file=FileName
| type=
}}

If you need to give the citation a name so you can use it again later:

{{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 <ref name="CitationName"/>

If you want to add a note to the end of the citation:

{{File Reference
| file=FileName
| note=this is a note. Epic.
}}
