About this template
This template is intended to be used by contributors of the 5Toubun no Hanayome Wiki who wish to add a dialogue quote to an article—a quote involving more than one speaker.
Usage
Steps
For exactly two lines of dialogue:
- Copy and paste the template code "Exactly two lines of dialogue" in the desired spot.
- If there's already another quote or dialogue there, place your new one at least 2 spaces apart.
- Fill in the specifications.
For more than two lines of dialogue:
- Copy and paste the template code "More than two lines of dialogue" in the desired spot.
- If there's already another quote or dialogue there, place your new one at least 2 spaces apart.
- Fill in the needed specifications.
- Remove any unused lines
Specifications
- Action A - Any action occurring before the dialogue, either by Speaker A or in the scene itself; this parameter is optional.
- Speaker A - The name of the first speaker; if you would like to link this, put [[brackets]] around it.
- Quote A - The text quoted by Speaker A; don't worry about putting quotation marks over it - that's done automatically.
- Action B-Z - (same as above)
- Speaker B - The name of the second speaker (usually in response to Speaker A); if you would like to link this, put [[brackets]] around it.
- Quote B - The text quoted by Speaker B; don't worry about putting quotation marks over it - that's done automatically.
- Speaker C-Z - (same as above)
- Quote C-Z - (same as above)
- Description - Short description of what's being discussed in the quoted dialogue; please be as brief as you can on these - it isn't very aesthetically pleasing if this is too long.
- Source - What media the dialogue was quoted from (movie, short, TV episode, game, book, etc.); the template automatically turns it into an italicized link.
Other notes
On the template:
- This template is only meant for MORE THAN ONE speaker; if the quote you want to add involves just one speaker, then you need to use the {{Quote}} template.
- This template offers a total of 26 lines of dialogue.
On its usage:
- Be sure to format it correctly or it might not work or look the way you want it to.
- Place multiple quotes at least two spaces apart. This is to make it easier to read.
- Unlike a regular conversation, there has to be a new line with a new letter if there's more than two lines of dialogue - even if it's the same speaker speaking as A and B.
