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
This template should be used for Discord messages used as sources for this wiki.
How to use
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)
Without any parameters provided, as in{{DiscSource}}the template will transclude like this.

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 = }}

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 }}
Message link From [{{{channelURL}}} #inso] On 2023-04-21 |

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.
