'''This template should be used in-between <nowiki><ref> </ref></nowiki> tags.'''
 
This template is used to cite spoken in-game text as a reference for a particular statement or assertion. The Game and Quote Italicize themselves, so there is no need to italicize them.
 
===Citing Standards===
When quoting an individual, use only their '''name'''.
 
When citing a Logbook entry, '''link to the correct Logbook''' followed by the '''entry name in quotation marks''' (Example: <nowiki>[[Metroid Prime 2: Echoes Logbook]] "Dark Splinter"</nowiki>).
Conversely, you may '''pipe-link to the correct Logbook entry''' followed by the '''entry name in quotation marks''' (Example: <nowiki>[[Metroid Prime 2: Echoes Logbook#Dark Splinter|Logbook]] "Dark Splinter"</nowiki>).
 
When citing Scan Data, simply use '''Scan Data'''. If necessary, supplementary information may be supplied following a {{hover|hyphen|one of these: -}}, but the uncluttered use is preferred.
