Template:SimRef

Usage

Creates a standardised wiki reference tag ("<ref>") to your sim.

{{SimRef | SIMLINK=<URL to your sim> | CHARACTERS=<the character name(s)> | SIMTITLE=<title of the sim> | SHIP=<the name of the ship or installation> | STARDATE=<relevant stardate for the sim>}}

The <ref> tag will be named using the title of the sim. That allows you to make multiple attributions to the same reference in one wiki page (see example below).

Parameters:

• SIMLINK: The URL of your sim. This can be a link to a google group post, or a sim wiki page. This parameter is optional.
• CHARACTERS: The name or names of the relevant characters that the sim is about, i.e. the character names used in the title of the sim post. This parameter is optional.
• SIMTITLE: The title of the sim. This parameter is expected.
• SHIP: The ship or installation that the character is from, or the sim relates to. This parameter is optional.
• STARDATE: The relevant stardate for the sim. This parameter is optional.

Multiple attributions to the same sim reference

Any reference using the SimRef template will be named using the value in the SIMTITLE parameter. This allows you to make multiple attributions to the same sim in a single wiki page without having to repeat it, by using the built in "ref" tag, i.e:

<ref name="Title of Sim />"

Example:

Each section of the Outpost has a train stop. Holographic sign(s) above each station show either a blue number under the words “Amity Line”, or a purple number under the words “Upper Terminals Line” to indicate how many minutes away each train is from arriving<ref name="Last Train To Trancentral" />.
