Template:SOFinfo

Description

This template is used in the Episode skeleton to more easily facilitate entering the text and weblinks for Science or Fiction items and articles given in the relevant Episode's shownotes.
Special Note: each SOF item can have 2 references. See Episode 964's SOF segment for an example.

Examples

With three items and a theme topic (currently Episodes 883 and 967 are the only ones with a "hidden theme"), the text and linked references will render thus:

Theme: Right for the wrong reason Hidden Theme: Click/tap to reveal "Brought to you by Chat GPT" Steve reveals this _hidden theme_ after the Rogues make their guesses Item #1: First item's text will be here. Item #2: Second item's text will be here. Item #3: Third item's text will be here.

With no theme and with all items having no web reference in the show notes (common with "Myths about __" or "Facts about __" that often come with Live Shows), the text will render thus, with "No reference given" seen in the References section:

Item #1: First item's text will be here. Item #2: Second item's text will be here. Item #3: Third item's text will be here. Item #4: Fourth item's text will be here.

Usage

You can copy/paste the following code into your page.

{{SOFinfo
|theme		= 		<!-- delete or leave blank if no theme -->
|hiddentheme	= 		<!-- delete or leave blank if no "hidden theme", e.g. Ep. 883 -->

|item1		= _item_text_from_show_notes_
|link1web	= url_from_SoF_show_notes	<!-- delete or leave blank if none -->
|link1pub	= _publication_			<!-- delete or leave blank if none -->
|link1title	= _article_title_		<!-- delete or leave blank if none -->
|link1web2	= THIS_TEMPLATE_ALLOWS_A_SECOND_REFERENCE_FOR_EACH_ITEM <!-- delete or leave blank if no 2nd reference for this item -->
|link1pub2	= _publication_			<!-- delete or leave blank if no 2nd reference for this item -->
|link1title2	= _article_title_		<!-- delete or leave blank if no 2nd reference for this item -->

|item2		= _item_text_from_show_notes_
|link2web	= url_from_SoF_show_notes	<!-- delete or leave blank if none -->
|link2pub	= _publication_			<!-- delete or leave blank if none -->
|link2title	= _article_title_		<!-- delete or leave blank if none -->

|item3		= _item_text_from_show_notes_
|link3web	= url_from_SoF_show_notes	<!-- delete or leave blank if none -->
|link3pub	= _publication_			<!-- delete or leave blank if none -->
|link3title	= _article_title_		<!-- delete or leave blank if none -->

|item4		= _item_text_from_show_notes_	<!-- delete or leave blank if no 4th item -->
|link4web	= url_from_SoF_show_notes	<!-- delete or leave blank if none -->
|link4pub	= _publication_			<!-- delete or leave blank if none -->
|link4title	= _article_title_		<!-- delete or leave blank if none -->
|}}

Adding notes to items

Additionally, if necessary, you can add note1=, note2=, note3=, and/or note4= into the table parameters to append any information to any of the items, such as to clarify an error in the item text or to provide additional links. See Episode 934, Episode 926, and Episode 665 for examples.

Item #1: _item_text_from_show_notes_*  Item #2: _item_text_from_show_notes_†  Item #3: _item_text_from_show_notes_**  Item #4: _item_text_from_show_notes_††  * here's what the footnote looks like for item 1 † and for item 2 ** and for item 3 †† and for item 4 * and for a generic note

Alternatively, you could add a comment (Transcriptionist's note: like this), such as in the SOF Info table for episode 856, using the {{tnote|}} template.

Two-references items

In Episode 964, the SOF items reference two different articles, so the SOF Info template was updated to allow for these second references. All that is necessary to input a second reference for an SOF item is to duplicate the link# parameters and add 2 after each one (e.g., link4title2). See the Usage example above, which includes fields for a second reference for the first SOF item.
