==Format== | |||
In order to differentiate to improve citation methods, it is recommended that editors use the following format when citing a source for an article. | |||
===Published media=== | |||
Here, published media refers to literatures, i.e. novels, graphic books, magazines, but also includes but not limited to animation, films.<ref group"note">''"Do note that the '''main format''' of citation should focus on title of novels/magazines and page numbers. If '''relevant as to providing clarification''', include the paragraph/section and quote."''</ref> For those that have been reissued/republished, i.e. updated with new information or less mistakes, and is in conflict with the previous published media, use the second format under this section. | |||
<pre> | |||
'''Title of media''', "chapter/section" (if needed), ''page number'' (''"Quote"'' (if needed)) | |||
</pre> | |||
:For example, <code><nowiki>'''[[Halo: Ghosts of Onyx]]''', "Chapter 39", ''page 372'' (Kurt-051: ''"Spartans never die"'')</nowiki></code> | |||
::Result: '''[[Halo: Ghosts of Onyx]]''', "Chapter 39", ''page 372'' (Kurt-051: ''"Spartans never die"'') | |||
<pre> | |||
'''Title of media''', "chapter/section" (if needed), ''page number''; '''Date of new publish''', ''page number'' (''"Quote"'' (if needed)) | |||
</pre> | |||
:For example, <code><nowiki>'''[[Halo: Fall of Reach]]''', "Chapter ??", ''page ???''; '''2010''', ''page ??''</nowiki></code> | |||
::Result: '''[[Halo: Fall of Reach]]''', "Chapter ??", ''page ???''; '''2010''', ''page ??'' | |||
===Web content=== | |||
Web content in this section refers generally news articles, i.e. IGN articles and Bungie Weekly Update. Also included in this section are video documentaries, trailers and YouTube videos. The citation format would be as so: | |||
<pre> | |||
'''Title''': ''Title of article'' (''"Quote"'' (optional)) | |||
</pre> | |||
:For example, <code><nowiki>[http://uk.xbox360.ign.com/articles/112/1126799p3.html '''IGN''': ''Beyond the Ring: Bungie's Renegade Development of Halo's Fiction''] ('''Joseph Staten''': ''""Bungie was maintaining creative oversight over all these initiatives -- we really did have a lot of control over what stories got told. Historically, over the decade of Halo storytelling, Bungie would maintain creative ownership and direction of these various projects." "'')</nowiki></code> | |||
::Result: [http://uk.xbox360.ign.com/articles/112/1126799p3.html '''IGN''': ''Beyond the Ring: Bungie's Renegade Development of Halo's Fiction''] ('''Joseph Staten''': ''""Bungie was maintaining creative oversight over all these initiatives -- we really did have a lot of control over what stories got told. Historically, over the decade of Halo storytelling, Bungie would maintain creative ownership and direction of these various projects." "'') | |||
===Gameplay content=== | |||
For information using games as citations, the citation format would be as so: | |||
<pre> | |||
'''Title of game''', campaign/multiplayer level ''Name of Level'' - ''"any sub-title"'' (''"Quote"'' (optional)) | |||
</pre> | |||
:For example, <code><nowiki>'''Halo: Combat Evolved''', campaign level ''The Truth and Reconciliation'' - ''"Shut up and get behind me - sir."'' (''"Captain Keyes: They call it Halo"'')</nowiki></code> | |||
::Result: '''Halo: Combat Evolved''', campaign level ''The Truth and Reconciliation'' - ''"Shut up and get behind me - sir."'' (''"Captain Keyes: They call it Halo"'') | |||
