Template:Source is used to create sourcebook references and categorize articles making them. It leverages Template:Source/Text to generate the appropriate strings.

Usage

It accepts one mandatory string parameter, one optional string parameter, and one optional named parameter:

1 is a sourcebook abbreviation; valid options are listed in Template:Source/Abbreviations.
2 is a page reference, typically a single integer or a range.
ref (defaults unset) is used to turn it into a reference.

Return

{{Source|sr5}} puts the article into the appropriate category, then returns:

Shadowrun Fifth Edition Core Rulebook

Adding the second parameter, e.g. {{Source|sr5|404}}, modifies the return:

Shadowrun Fifth Edition Core Rulebook (p. 404)

Setting ref to any value creates a reference with the first parameter and the value of ref combined into the reference name. If ref is included, the second parameter is ignored if included. For instance, <p>My name is sr5-404{{Source|sr5|ref=404}}.<br />My name is also sr5-404{{Source|sr5|ref=404}}.</p> returns:

My name is sr5-404^{[sr 1]}.
My name is also sr5-404^{[sr 1]}.

References

Note

In order for a parameter to appear in a <ref>, it must be wrapped in a {{#var}} statement, or the input won't be processed until after the reference tag is generated. That same variable is leveraged by Template:References to determine wether or not it should generate reference sections.
Cite error: <ref> tags exist for a group named "sr", but no corresponding <references group="sr"/> tag was found

 In order for a parameter to appear in a {{Code|<nowiki><ref></nowiki>}}, it must be wrapped in a {{Code|<nowiki>{{#var}}</nowiki>}} statement, or the input won't be processed until ''after'' the reference tag is generated. That same variable is leveraged by {{Template|References}} to determine wether or not it should generate reference sections.
