{{{NewsSource}}}

Date: {{{Date}}}

Property "NewsSource" (as page type) with input value "{{{NewsSource}}}" contains invalid characters or is incomplete and therefore can cause unexpected results during a query or annotation process.


Usage

This template is intended to be used along with the creation of news articles. It generates tags and ensures the page is set to Category:News.

The fields should be filled in as follows:

Field Use
Image Optional: Add file path for image you would like displayed at the top of the news article. e.g. File:Horizon.png
ImageSizeOverride Optional: Sets the size for the above image. For example, File:Horison.png works best when set to 660px
Date Required: The date must be added in YYYY-MM-DD format. If this field is not filled, it will not show up on The Story So Far or Category:News
NewsSource Required: This sets the header for the news source. e.g. Horizon News Network
Reporter Optional: Sets an IC reporter and credits them as the author of the story.
Metaplot Optional: If the news article is a part of a metaplot, note so here and it will show up on the metaplot page as well as its association on The Story So Far.
Intro Optional: Simply allows you to add additional text ahead of the image, if an image is selected.
{{NewsHeader|

}}


Note that this Template may be duplicated multiple times on the same News Article without harming anything; however, the required fields must still be used. See Gas Leak Leads to Robbery at Tacoma Mall for an example of this.
