It's important to make citations for what you write on the wiki, so this guide exists to make it as easy as possible.
{{ref}} template
With this handy template, you can create references quickly.
Note: The name=value that appears in {{ref|name=}} is just a suggestion, and it's technically optional. It's good because you can reuse the same reference this way. After the first time you put one of these references in, the next time, all you have to put is {{ref|name=}} with only the nameyou gave it last time after the = sign. You cannot redefine it, though. You get an error if you try to create two new references with the same name.
With all the possible inputs, the Ref template would look like this:
{{Ref
|p=page#
|c=chapter#
|v=volume#
|e=episode#
|qc=volume qna
|qz=bbf qna
|db=bbf
|q=quote
|link=URL
|linkname=name of link
|text=any text
|name=c#p#}}
Volume
For using a volume reference. Page number is great if you have it. In general, chapter references are usually preferred over volume references.
{{ref|v=volume#|p=page#|name=vvolume#ppage#}
For example:
{{ref|v=11|name=v11}} produces
- Tetsuji Arafune pulls out kogetsu and many are shocked.[1]

Chapter
For using a chapter reference:
{{ref|c=chapter#|p=page#|name=cchapter#ppage#}}
For example:
{{ref|c=1|p=9|name=c1p9}} produces
- ↑ World Trigger Manga — Chapter 1 (p. 9)
You can modify the chapter list Here
Episode
On the World Trigger Wiki, we total the episodes from the three seasons when we refer to them by number (ex. Episodes 1-99). For using an episode reference:
{{ref|e=episode#|name=eepisode#}}
For example:
{{ref|e=1|name=e1}} would produce:
To see all the episodes summarized on one page, check out Anime/Episodes. The index is below.

Extra
Extras include chibi profiles, Strategy Room layouts, Location profiles, mini profiles, etc. that are included sporadically in each volume and other miscellaneous places.
For referencing a volume extra:
{{ref|v=volume#|text=Volume Extras|name=vvolume#extras}}
For example:
{{ref|v=7|text=Volume Extras|name=v7extras}} produces
- Hanzaki was erroneously listed as being 16 years old in the Chapter 54 extra.[1]
- ↑ World Trigger Manga — Volume 7 Volume Extras
OR
If you want to reference a specific extra, you can use this format
{{ref|ex=extra|name=exextra}}
Using the same example,
{{re|ex=V7SP|name=exV7SP}}produces
- Hanzaki was erroneously listed as being 16 years old in the Chapter 54 extra.[1]
- ↑ World Trigger Manga — Vol. 7 Chapter 54 Arafune Squad Profile
An incomplete index is below.

Databook
For using information from a databook. The only real databook we really reference right now is the Border Briefing File, abbreviated as BBF. For using specifically a QnA from the databook, see the QnA section after this one.
{{ref|db=databook abbreviation|p=page#s|name=databook abbreviationppage#s}}
For example:
{{ref|db=bbf|p=1|name=bbfp1}} produces:
- Databook fact in an article.[1]
- ↑ World Trigger Manga — Border Briefing File (p. 1)
QnAs
There is a treasure trove of information we've been given in Questions and Answer (QnA) format, from the Border Briefing File databook, or in the "Question Corner" (from the official Twitter or released elsewhere).
Note: It is important to use the QnA index when citing the QnAs (the qz= or qc= values). This is because the question and answer itself appears in the references box at the end of the page, and people love reading them when they get there!
Databook QnAs
For using a databook QnA reference:
{{ref|qz=question#|name=databook abbreviationqquestion#}}
For example:
{{Ref|qz=21|name=bbfq21}} produces:
- Databook QnA lore in an article.[1]
- ↑
Daisuke Ashihara: Q: How many minutes at most can Karasuma maintain Geist?
A: With Trion at full capacity he can maintain 284 seconds, so slightly less than 5 minutes.

Question Corner QnA
For using a Question Corner QnA reference:
{{ref|qc=shorthand|name=Question Corner Shorthand}}
For example:
{{Ref|qc=Konami Rank Wars|name=Konami Rank Wars}} produces:
- Question Corner QnA lore in an article.[1]
- ↑
Daisuke Ashihara: Q: Konami is the No. 3 Attacker, does this mean she shows up in the Solo Rank Wars? And in that case what Triggers does she use?
A: Studying came first for Konami up until the end of her middle school years so she didn’t do any Solo Rank Wars then, and only participated in the period from her middle school graduation and part way through her first year of high school. Back then, in that period, Jin started using Fūjin and Tachikawa had kind of lost his motivation, so Konami sharpened her blades against those like Kazama to reach all the way to No. 1 Attacker. After that, along with Tamakoma’s separation, she took a step back from Rank Wars, but her solo points have only been surpassed by Tachikawa and Kazama so she’s still No. 3 Attacker. Her Triggers at the time were dual-wielded Kogetsu (fairly short).

Quote
For using a quote reference, include the quote itself in the citation:
{{ref|q=quote|s=source|name=qquote}}
For example:
{{ref|q=Volume 2 is hitting stores (in Japan) on 9/4. It should be easier to find than volume 1 was. Hope you like it!|s=Weekly Shonen Jump|name=q7213}}
produces
- ↑
Daisuke Ashihara: Volume 2 is hitting stores (in Japan) on 9/4. It should be easier to find than volume 1 was. Hope you like it!
Source: Weekly Shonen Jump
Other
For using a link:
{{ref|link=URL|linkname=link title|text=any text you want to add|name=[linktitle]}}
For example:
{{ref|link=http://random.com|linkname=Random|text=Random text for a random link|name=other}} produces:
- Fact in an article from random source.[1]
You can use text= to add extra text to any citation you make with the {{ref}} tag.
