Purpose[]

This is a variant of {{Cite}} that is to be used when pulling a quote or information from a manga, comic, or other book which is not a manual, guide, or magazine. For the latter, use Template:Cite Manual, Template:Cite Guide, and Template:Cite Magazine respectively.

This is to be used to cite sources, and should be used within <ref></ref> tags.

This template can also be used in FileInfo to source an image, in which case <ref></ref> tags should not be used. (Leave the "quote" field blank.)
