Elite Dangerous Wiki:Template guide/Article structure
Link to a main article
Use Template:Main immediately below a section heading when that subject has a more detailed article. Make sure the destination is relevant and exists.
What to type
{{Main|Ships}}
What it produces:
- Main article: Ships
Quote
Use Template:Quote for a relevant quotation, with a source. Put it next to the discussion it supports, and use quotations sparingly.
What to type
{{Quote|The quoted words.|The source}}
What it produces:
The quoted words.
— The source
Citations and reference list
Place a citation after the statement it supports using <ref>Source details</ref>. Then put Template:Reflist under a References heading near the end of the article. Do not add a second references list if one already exists.
What to type
A supported statement.<ref>Author, title and source details.</ref>
== References ==
{{Reflist}}
The citation appears as a numbered link and the source appears in the references list. Preview the page to check that it points to the intended source.
Navigation boxes
Use an existing navbox, such as Template:ShipNavbox, near the bottom of an article when the article belongs to the group it describes. Do not add an unrelated navbox merely to increase links.
What to type
{{ShipNavbox}}
What it produces: a collapsible navigation box linking related ship pages. See Template:ShipNavbox for its current appearance.
