== Different Types  of References ==
=== In-game Quotes ===
For references that quote a  character from one of the games, you must use the {{[[Template:Cite|cite]]}}  template. See that page for specific instructions on usage.
Be  sure that the quote is precise, and contains only the text that is  needed (for instance, if you need only one sentence in your reference,  you don't need to put an entire speech).
=== Web Pages ===
If you used a particular web page  as the source of a piece of information, you must use the {{[[Template:Cite  web|cite  web]]}} template. See that page for specific  instructions on usage.
This is only necessary when information  can be found only on that web page, such as information about certain  web sites, or sourcing reviews of games.
=== Developer Quotes  ===
If you're quoting  something a specific (real-life) person said, you must use the {{[[Template:Cite  person|cite person]]}} template. See that page for specific  instructions on usage.
=== Manual Quotes ===
If  you're referencing a section of text from a game manual, you must use  the {{[[Template:Cite  manual|cite manual]]}} template. See that page for specific  instructions on usage.
=== Book Quotes ===
If  you're referencing a section of text from a book that is ''not'' a game manual, you must use the {{[[Template:cite  book|cite book]]}} template. See that page for specific  instructions on usage.
=== Television Episodes ===
If  you are pulling a quote from an episode of a television show, you must use the {{[[Template:Cite  episode|cite episode]]}} template. See that page for specific  instructions on usage.
