From Halopedia, the Halo wiki
Hello! Regarding your latest edits on Blooding Years, please take note how novels, reference books, and comics are cited on the wiki.
Novels are books that tell a story, so they use {{Ref/Novel}}
template. Reference books, like Halo: Official Spartan Field Manual, do not tell a story and intends to list out facts, so they use {{Ref/Book}}
template.
Please always add a chapter number (or page number) to the novel (or book) you are citing.
When citing novels, please use the following format (using Halo: The Thursday War chapter 14 as an example): {{Ref/Novel|TTW|Chapter=14}}
. We use chapter numbers instead of page numbers, because page numbers are no longer reliable, now that novels have multiple editions (multiple print editions as well as eBooks).
When citing reference books, please use the following format (using Halo: Official Spartan Field Manual page 95 as an example): {{Ref/Book|OSFM|Page=95}}
. We continue to use page numbers for these books, because they do not have different editions.
When citing comic books, please use the following format (using Halo: Escalation Issue 1 as an example): {{Ref/Comic|HE|Issue=1}}
. There is no need to include chapter or page numbers when citing comics!
Halopedia:Acronyms has all of the Halo media's acronyms listed out for you, please look them up on the page to use the acronyms in the various reference templates!
