Use this template to cite an article in a Dragon magazine. It then calls {{Cite book}} with the necessary options. For convenience, there are a number of existing templates for citing specific articles from Dragon in Category:Dragon citation templates. If you will be citing a specific Dragon article on numerous wiki articles, it is best to create your own and add it to this category.
The following parameters are required:
- author
- The name of the article author(s). Can include wikilinks.
- issue
- The number of the dragon issue.
The following parameters are optional:
- title
- The title of the article in the magazine.
- pages
- Page or pages within the issue that contain the specific reference, such as 6 or 6-8.
- date
- The date of publication of the issue in question, for example September 2004.
- publisher
- The publisher of the magazine. Up until Dragon #359 this was Paizo Publishing, LLC. Since then the magazine has been self-published by Wizards of the Coast online. This is automatically calculated based on the issue parameter, but can be overridden if you so desire.
- url
- If this magazine article is available free online, you can add the URL to it and its title will turn into a link.
