Template documentation
|
---|
Note: portions of the template sample may not be visible without values provided. |
View or edit this documentation. (About template documentation) |
Editors can experiment in this template's sandbox and test case pages. |
Template:Documentation Subpage This is the Great Phermesia Wiki standard citation for Discord messages, most commonly for player-created lore. It creates a 2 by 1 or 3 by 1 table out of provided information.
Where to use[edit]
This template should be used for Discord messages used as sources for this wiki.
How to use[edit]
You must provide a link to the messages themselves in the Message URL parameter ({{{messageURL}}}
), the ({{{date}}}
of the messages, and an exact {{{transcript}}}
of the relevant passage of the message. It is suggested you also provide the name of the channel that the message is from.
If the message is edited, {{{edited}}}
should be set to true
.
Examples (source editor)[edit]
Without any parameters provided, as in{{DiscSource}}the template will transclude like this.
[{{{messageURL}}} Discord message] from [[[Category:Errors reported by Module String]]String Module Error: String subset index out of range {{{channelName}}}] On {{{date}}} |
Screenshot [[File:{{{messageImg}}}|alt={{{transcript}}}|thumb]] |
Yuck.
With the Bare Minimum required to not get an error, this is the result.
{{DiscSource | messageURL= https://discord.com/channels/810684927170707507/1099167536874016768/1099168028509339688 | date = 2023-04-21 | transcript = inso is very productive and useful 👍 | messageImg = }}
Discord message from this channel On 2023-04-21 |
inso is very productive and useful 👍 |
A blank space and "this channel" are the default values for {{{messageImg}}}
and {{{channelName}}}
respectively.
When we provide the template with more info, we get something like this. Let's also pretend, for a moment, that this message has been edited since.
{{DiscSource | messageURL= https://discord.com/channels/810684927170707507/1099167536874016768/1099168028509339688 | date = 2023-04-21 | transcript = inso is very productive and useful 👍 | messageImg = DiscSource example.png | channelName = #inso | edited = true }}
Discord message from #inso On 2023-04-21 |
Message has been edited. |
Screenshot |
The first thing you'll notice is the new expandable image element, which will replace the transcript if a screenshot of the message is provided. The old transcript is now the alt text of the image.
Standard way to cite from Discord, using a screenshot and a link.
