Template documentation (for the template shown above, sometimes hidden or invisible)

Meta-template for constructing source templates. It should not be used directly in articles.

Usage

{{sourcebox
|image  =Example.png
|link   =The Vault:About
|source =''[[The Vault]]''
|text   =default
|1      ={{{1}}}
}}

All "end" templates based on {{Sourcebox}} support various values for <unnamed 1> (if the end template properly passes its <unnamed 1> value to {{Sourcebox}} as shown above). This can be used by editors to override the text for specific purposes.

Available options:

• contradict: Overrides other text options with the appropriate text for a contradiction to canon.
• end: Alters the template text so it marks the end of information from the source.

Parameters

Required

<unnamed 1>

This must always be added, and it must always be set to {{{1}}}.

Required

link

The page the image links to.

Required

source

The source of the tagged information.

Required

(default: "default")

text

Additional text to be displayed after "The following is based on source".

Available options:

• default: "has not been confirmed by canon sources"
• contradict: "contradicts canon sources"
• empty: no additional text
• prerelease: "may be inaccurate or contain spoilers"
• semi: "some details might contradict canon"
• spoiler: "may contain spoilers"

Optional

color

Color of top and bottom borders (optional, only use if necessary). Accepts standard HTML color names or RGB hex triplets. To ensure a standardized and professional look across all {{sourcebox}}-based templates, this should only be used very sparingly.

Optional

image

File name of image to be displayed (without "File:").

Optional

(default: "50x25px")

Size of image. Only use if really necessary.
