Usage

PlainCiteSupport is for citing the RuneScape Customer Support pages.

This template exactly like Template:CiteSupport, with two exceptions. First, it is not a reference template in the sense that it does not create footnote-styled references. Instead, it creates the same text that {{CiteSupport}} would as a non-reference. This is desirable if a certain support page is the source of the majority of an article, as having the same reference at the end of every sentence. Second, it does not have the "name" parameter, as this only applies to footnote-style references.

{{PlainCiteSupport|url=|title=|sectitle=|notes=}}

url

Click the section links at the top of the page to make the URL as direct as possible, then paste the whole thing, including the http://.

title

The title of the article, found at the top of the page in the tan ovoid header.

sectitle

The title of the section which you are citing. They appear in bold black text in the center of the page. If the page has no section titles (for example The Game won't start), you can use sectitle=no - this is preferable to leaving it blank as it removes the maintenance category.

Standard parameters

The following parameters are standard across all citation templates.

notes

Optional. This parameter allows you to add text beginning one space after the end of the citation. Having no formatting (meaning you will have to format it yourself), this area can be used for anything you require.
