Usage

This template can be used to reference in-game voice lines. The template can link to either a "quotes" page or a voice line file.

{{VoiceLineCite|name=hero_name|quotes=Hero/Quotes|transcription=transcription}}
{{VoiceLineCite|name=hero_name|file=file_name.extension|transcription=transcription}}

There's an optional parameter to change the possessive suffix and one to add extra context to the line.

Example usages

Example using quotes link:

{{VoiceLineCite|name=Lash|quotes=Lash/Quotes#Hero-Specific Voice Lines|context=(killed Wraith)|transcription=Backed the wrong horse, Wraith. Like always.}}

Result:

Lash's in-game voice line (killed Wraith) - "Backed the wrong horse, Wraith. Like always."


Example using file link:

{{VoiceLineCite|name=Lash|file=Lash kill wraith 02.mp3|context=(killed Wraith)|transcription=Backed the wrong horse, Wraith. Like always.}}

Result:

Lash's in-game voice line (killed Wraith) - "Backed the wrong horse, Wraith. Like always."


To remove the icon file (note: in most common cases of pages without icons, this is already handled as exceptions by the template itself):

{{VoiceLineCite|name=Lash|no_pageref_file=true|file=Lash kill wraith 02.mp3|transcription=Backed the wrong horse, Wraith. Like always.}}

Result:

Lash's in-game voice line - "Backed the wrong horse, Wraith. Like always."


Example of suffix change:

{{VoiceLineCite|name=Abrams|suffix='|file=Abrams select 01.mp3|transcription=Don't worry, I'm on the case.}}

Result:

Abrams' in-game voice line - "Don't worry, I'm on the case."


Example of alt name:

{{VoiceLineCite|name=Lash|alt_name=Jacob|file=Lash kill wraith 02.mp3|transcription=Backed the wrong horse, Wraith. Like always.}}

Result:

Jacob's in-game voice line - "Backed the wrong horse, Wraith. Like always."


Example of alt link:

{{VoiceLineCite|name=Lash|alt_link=Abrams|file=Lash kill wraith 02.mp3|transcription=Backed the wrong horse, Wraith. Like always.}}

Result:

Lash's in-game voice line - "Backed the wrong horse, Wraith. Like always."
