The {{Speaker}} template should be used to identify the speaker of a line of dialogue. This template is intended to be used primarily in Dialogue reference material. When including quotes from people in regular articles, use the {{Quote}} template.
Usage[edit source]
The template should be placed on its own line, just above their first line of dialogue. There are two unnamed parameters; the first identifies the speaker. It can be used by itself to produce the following markup:
| Markup | Renders as |
|---|---|
{{Speaker|Atrus}}
I realized the moment I fell into the Fissure that the Book would not be destroyed as I had planned.
|
[Atrus]
I realized the moment I fell into the Fissure that the Book would not be destroyed as I had planned. |
The second parameter identifies the person the speaker is addressing. This parameter can be left off if there is no direct subject (such as in an opening voiceover), or if the player is the only subject for the entire "conversation".
| Markup | Renders as |
|---|---|
{{Speaker|Gehn|Atrus}}
Father? I am no longer your father, because you are no longer my son!
|
[Gehn] (to Atrus)
Father? I am no longer your father, because you are no longer my son! |
