Usage

This template should be added to articles about individual fanfiction stories, novels, or epics that are not zines (see Help:Zines). The template will automatically include the page in the Fanfiction category unless you put a different category in the category= field.

Some fandom- and pairing-specific fanfic templates are also available: see below.

To embed this template on a page, copy & paste the code below to the top of the new page:

{{Fanfiction
|title= 
|author=
|dates=
|length=
|genre=
|fandom=
|relationships=
|externallinks=
|image=
|category=
}}

Key

• title = title of the story
• author = fan writer
• dates = when was it posted/published?
• length = word count, page count, or file size
• genre = gen, het, slash, adult, yaoi, crack, casefile, etc. (whatever is considered a genre in that fandom)
• fandom = name of the fandom
• relationships = relationships featured in the fic, if any apply
• externallinks = link to the story, if available online
• image = if a suitable image is available, place file name here and format like so: [[File:Example.jpg|thumb|center|caption text]]
• category = this will default to Category:Fanfiction and should be left blank unless the fanfiction belongs in a fandom-specific subcategory, for example Category:Harry Potter Fanfiction. Only fandom-specific subcategories should be listed in this field. Subcategories that aren't fandom-specific, like Category:Crossover Fanfiction belong at the bottom of the page.
