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> | REFNAME=<name for the reference>}}

The <ref> tag will be named using the title of the sim, unless you specify a value for the REFNAME parameter. 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.
  • REFNAME: A shorthand name for the ref tag. This parameter is optional. If not specified, SIMTITLE is used for the name of the ref.

In 2397 Keehani lodged a petition with the [[Reconciliation Forums of Betazed]] for the "rightful re-establishment of Vaxa Ral, formerly Vaxa Ukinix, as matriarch of the Ninth House of Betazed"{{SimRef | SIMLINK=https://groups.google.com/g/sb118-veritas/c/wOtTM9DQop8/m/374wE2WMCgAJ | CHARACTERS=Esion Akoibo and Nivoxi Unaa | SIMTITLE=Gossip | STARDATE=239707.22}}.

Sim with No Stardate

A reference to a sim without specifying a stardate.

The sleek trains have either a purple or blue line that run along the full length of them to indicate which service they are for{{SimRef | SIMLINK=https://groups.google.com/g/sb118-amity/c/kD7Yp6VcLpc/m/UrQKrGRKAQAJ | CHARACTERS=Ambassador [[Rivi Vataix]]| SIMTITLE=CO to CO train ride | SHIP=[[Amity Outpost]] | STARDATE=239810.11}}.

The sleek trains have either a purple or blue line that run along the full length of them to indicate which service they are for[5].


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:

Contains Washington DC cherry blossom trees (which were originally gifted to Washington DC from Japan centuries earlier) that winds along the path{{SimRef | SIMLINK=https://groups.google.com/g/sb118-amity/c/VCyhosHMalk/m/uvoKnmGlAgAJ | CHARACTERS=Lt Cmdr [[Wil Ukinix]] | SIMTITLE=Last Train To Trancentral  | SHIP=[[Amity Outpost]] | STARDATE=SD239904.24}}.

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" />.
