Technically, all citation information can be given in a single parameter, as in:
:{{para|source|Anonymous interview subject, in Jane G. Arthur, "The Aerodynamics of Shaved Weasels", ''Perspectives on Mammal Barbering'' (2016), Bram Xander Yojimbo (ed.)}}
But this is a bit messy, and will impede later efforts to generate metadata from quotation attribution the way we are already doing with source citations. This is much more usable:
:{{para|character|Anonymous interview subject}}
Line 121:
If you do not provide text, the template generates a parser error message, which will appear in red text in the rendered page.
 
If any parameter's actual value contains an [[equals sign]] (<code>=</code>), you '''must''' use a named parameter (e.g. {{para|text|"E=MC<sup>2</sup>" is a formula everyone knows but few understand}}, not a blank-name positional parameter. The text before the equals sign gets misinterpreted as a named parameter otherwise. Be wary of URLs, which frequently contain this character. Named parameters are always safer, in this anand other templates.
 
If any parameter's actual value contains characters used for wiki markup syntax (such as [[vertical bar|pipe]], [[brackets]], single quotation marks, etc.), you may need to escape it. See [[Template:!]] and friends.
