Teamplaid:Citation Style documentation/documentation
This is a documentation subpage for Teamplaid:Citation Style documentation. It contains usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original teamplaid page. |
When updating this template keep in mind that it is used on a number of template documentation pages. If the parameters in question are unique to a template, then either add it manually to the template documentation or create a new section here for transclusion. |
Ùsaid - Usage
[deasaich]This template is used to build consistent documentation pages for Citation Style 1 templates.
- For example: {{Citation Style documentation|author}} will show the author documentation.
Where a particular section of documentation is not appropriate for a certain template, simply add the text manually or create a new subtemplate.
Each module of text is a subtemplate that can be edited using the link.

- Lead: a brief overview of the template intent
- Usage: samples of blank parameters that can be copied and pasted
- Examples: examples of various usage
- Parameters: detailed descriptions of each parameter
- Syntax: overview of the template syntax
- Deprecated: list of deprecated parameters
- Description: parameter descriptions separated by function in this general order:
- Authors
- Title
- Date
- Publisher
- Edition, series, volume
- In-source locations
- URL
- Anchor
- Identifiers
- Quote
- Editors

Usage section
[deasaich]Start the usage section with {{Citation Style documentation|usage}}:
- Copy a blank version to use. Almost all parameter names are supported only in lower case (some initialisms, such as
|isbn=
have upper case aliases like|ISBN=
, which are acceptable for use). Use the "|" (pipe) character between each parameter. Unused parameters may be deleted to avoid clutter in the edit window. Some samples on this documentation page may include the current date. If the date is not current, then the page.
Parameters to copy are enclosed in tables created by sub-templates.

Full vertical style
[deasaich]The full vertical style can be implemented in a three columns format (only practical when the number of parameters is not too extended), or in a four columns format.
Three columns format
[deasaich]The full vertical style in three columns consists of a "Vertical list", "Prerequisites" and "Brief instructions / notes".
- Start with:
{{Citation Style documentation|usage vertical}} <pre style="margin:0px;">
- Create the vertical list column
- Separate the next column with:
</pre> {{Citation Style documentation|usage vertical mid}} <pre style="margin:0px;">
- Create the prerequisites column; blank lines must include a
- Separate the next column with:
</pre> {{Citation Style documentation|usage vertical mid}} <pre style="margin:0px;">
- Create the instructions column; blank lines must include a
- End with:
</pre> {{Citation Style documentation|usage vertical end}}
Example:
{{Citation Style documentation|usage vertical}} <pre style="margin:0px;"> {{Cite book | last = | first = | author-link = }} </pre> {{Citation Style documentation|usage vertical mid}} <pre style="margin:0px;"> last </pre> {{Citation Style documentation|usage vertical mid}} <pre style="margin:0px;"> same as last1 same as first1 </pre> {{Citation Style documentation|usage vertical end}}
Vertical list | Prerequisites | Brief instructions / notes |
---|---|---|
{{Cite book | last = | first = | author-link = }} |
last |
same as last1 same as first1 |
- If a field name is listed in the Prerequisites column, it is a prerequisite for the field to the left.

[deasaich]Usage
[deasaich]
Copy a blank version to use. Almost all parameter names are supported only in lower case (some initialisms, such as |isbn=
have upper case aliases like |ISBN=
, which are acceptable for use). Use the "|" (pipe) character between each parameter. Unused parameters may be deleted to avoid clutter in the edit window. Some samples on this documentation page may include the current date. If the date is not current, then the page.

- If a field name is listed in the Prerequisites column, it is a prerequisite for the field to the left.
Eisimpleirean - Examples
[deasaich]Use {{Markup2}} to format the examples .
{{Markup2 |t=Basic usage with url (and accessdate) and edition |m={{Cite book |title=Mysterious book}} |r={{Cite book |title=Mysterious book}} }}
Basic usage with url (and accessdate) and edition
{{Cite book |title=Mysterious book}}
- Mysterious book.
Paramadairean - Parameters
[deasaich]syntax
[deasaich]
Nested parameters rely on their parent parameters:
- parent
- OR: parent2—may be used instead of parent
- child—may be used with parent (and is ignored if parent is not used)
- OR: child2—may be used instead of child (and is ignored if parent2 is not used)
- Where aliases are listed, only one of the parameters may be defined; if multiple aliased parameters are defined, then only one will show.
COinS
[deasaich]
This template embeds COinS metadata in the HTML output, allowing reference management software to retrieve bibliographic metadata. As a general rule, only one data item per parameter. Do not include explanatory or alternate text:
- use
|date=27 September 2007
not|date=27 September 2007 (print version 25 September)
Use of templates within the citation template is discouraged because many of these templates will add extraneous HTML or CSS that will be included raw in the metadata. Also, HTML entities, for example
, –
, etc, should not be used in parameters that contribute to the metadata. Do not include Wiki markup ''
(italic font) or '''
(bold font) because these markup characters will contaminate the metadata.
COinS metadata is created for these parameters
[deasaich]Note: This table of metadata is displayed for all Citation Style 1 templates. Not all of these parameters are supported by every CS1 template. Some of these parameters are mutually exclusive, some are aliases of another parameter, and some require other parameters to be present. Please refer to each template's documentation for a full list of supported parameters, their aliases, and their dependencies.

author
[deasaich]
- last: Surname of a single author. Do not wikilink—use author-link instead. For corporate authors or authors for whom only one name is listed by the source, use last or one of its aliases (e.g.
|author=Bono
). Aliases: surname, author, last1, surname1, author1.- author: this parameter is used to hold the complete name of a single author (first and last) or to hold the name of a corporate author. This parameter should never hold the names of more than one author. Do not wikilink—use author-link instead.
- first: Given or first names of author; for example: Firstname Middlename or Firstname M. or Firstname M., Sr. Do not wikilink—use author-link instead. Aliases: given, first1, given1. Requires last; first name will not display if last is empty.
- OR: for multiple authors, use last1, first1 through lastn, firstn, where n is any consecutive number for an unlimited number of authors (each firstn requires a corresponding lastn, but not the other way around).
|first1=...
|last1=...
|author2=...
.
Aliases: surname1, given1 through surnamen, givenn, or author1 through authorn. For an individual author plus an institutional author, you can use - author-link: Title of existing Wikipedia article about the author—not the author's website; do not wikilink. Aliases: author-link1, authorlink, authorlink1, author1-link, author1link.
- OR: for multiple authors, use author-link1 through author-linkn. Aliases: authorlink1 through authorlinkn, or author1-link through authorn-link, or author1link through authornlink.
- name-list-format: displays authors and editors in Vancouver style when set to
vanc
and when the list useslast
/first
parameters for the name list(s).
- vauthors: comma-separated list of author names in Vancouver style; enclose corporate or institutional author names in doubled parentheses:
|vauthors=Smythe JB, ((Megabux Corp.))
- author-link and author-mask may be used for the individual names in
|vauthors=
as described above
- authors: Free-form list of author names; use of this parameter is discouraged because it does not contribute to a citation's metadata; not an alias of last.
- translator-last: Surname of translator. Do not wikilink—use translator-link instead. Aliases: translator-surname, translator1, translator1-last, translator-last1.
- translator-first: Given or first names of translator. Do not wikilink—use translator-link instead. Aliases: translator-given, translator1-first, translator-first1.
- OR: for multiple translators, use translator-last1, translator-first1 through translator-lastn, translator-firstn, where n is any consecutive number for an unlimited number of translators (each translator-firstn requires a corresponding translator-lastn, but not the other way around). Aliases: translator1-last, translator1-first through translatorn-last, translatorn-first, or translator1 through translatorn.
- translator-link: Title of existing Wikipedia article about the translator—not the translator's website; do not wikilink. Aliases: translator-link1, translator1-link.
- OR: for multiple translators, use translator-link1 through translator-linkn. Aliases: translator1-link through translatorn-link.
- collaboration: Name of a group of authors or collaborators; requires author, last, or vauthors listing one or more primary authors; follows author name-list; appends "et al." to author name-list.
- Note: When using shortened footnotes or parenthetical referencing styles with templates, do not use multiple names in one field, or else the anchor will not match the inline link.
Options for this field:
|contributor=yes
adds contributors (use with Cite book and citation only)|others=yes
adds "others: To record other contributors to the work, such as "Illustrated by Smith" or "Trans. Smith"."|aliases=
add aliases for last.
editor
[deasaich]
- editor-last: surname of editor. Do not wikilink—use editor-link instead. Where the surname is usually written first—as in Chinese—or for corporate authors, simply use editor-last to include the same format as the source. Aliases: editor-last1, editor1-last, editor-surname, editor-surname1, editor1-surname, editor, editor1.
- editor: This parameter is used to hold the complete name of a single editor (first and last), or the name of an editorial committee. This parameter should never hold the names of more than one editor.
- editor-first: given or first names of editor, including title(s); example: Firstname Middlename or Firstname M. or Dr. Firstname M., Sr. Do not wikilink—use editor-link instead. Aliases: editor-first1, editor1-first, editor-given, editor-given1, editor1-given.
- OR: for multiple editors, use editor-last1, editor-first1 through editor-lastn, editor-firstn (Aliases: editorn-last, editor-surnamen or editorn-surname; editorn-first, editor-givenn or editorn-given; editorn). For an individual editor plus an institutional editor, you can use
|editor-first1=...
|editor-last1=...

edition
[deasaich]
- edition: When the publication has more than one edition; for example: "2nd", "Revised", and so forth. Appends the string " ed." after the field, so

date
[deasaich]
- date: Date of referenced source. Can be full date (day, month, and year) or partial date (month and year, season and year, or year). Use same format as other publication dates in the citations.[date 1] Required when year is used to disambiguate {{Sfn}} links to multiple-work citations by the same author in the same year. [more Do not wikilink. Displays after the authors and is enclosed in parentheses. If there is no author, then displays after publisher..
- For approximate year, precede with "
c.
", like this:|date=c. 1900
.
- For no date, or "undated", use
|date=n.d.
- Automatic date formatting: Citation Style 1 and 2 templates, including this template, automatically render dates in date parameters (
|date=
,|access-date=
,|archive-date=
, etc.) in the style specified by the article's {{Use dmy dates}} or {{Use mdy dates}} template. See those templates' documentation for details.
- year: Year of source being referenced. Use of
|date=
is recommended unless all of the following conditions are met:- The
|date=
format is YYYY-MM-DD. - The citation requires a
CITEREF
disambiguator.
- The
- orig-year: Original publication year; displays in square brackets after the date (or year). For clarity, please supply specifics. For example:

– set publication, access-, and archive-dates to day month year format;mdy-all
– as above for month day, year formatymd-all
– as above for year initial numeric format YYYY-MM-DD
- ↑ Publication dates in references within an article should all have the same format. This may be a different format from that used for archive and access dates.
Options for this field:
- limited_param_list hides orig-year because not allowed in limited-parameter templates
publisher
[deasaich]
- publisher: Name of publisher; may be wikilinked if relevant. The publisher is the company that publishes the work being cited. Do not use the publisher parameter for the name of a work (e.g. a website, book, encyclopedia, newspaper, magazine, journal, etc.). Corporate designations such as "Ltd", "Inc.", or "GmbH" are not usually included. Not normally used for periodicals. Omit where the publisher's name is substantially the same as the name of the work (for example, The New York Times Co. publishes The New York Times newspaper, so there is no reason to name the publisher). Displays after title.
- place: For news stories with a dateline, that is, the location where the story was written. In earlier versions of the template this was the publication place, and for compatibility, will be treated as the publication place if the publication-place parameter is absent; see that parameter for further information. Alias: location
- publication-place: Geographical place of publication; generally not wikilinked; omit when the name of the work includes the publication place; examples: The Boston Globe, The Times of India. Displays after the title. If only one of publication-place, place, or location is defined, it will be treated as the publication place and will show after the title; if publication-place and place or location are defined, then place or location is shown before the title prefixed with "written at" and publication-place is shown after the title.
- publication-date: Date of publication when different from the date the work was written. Displays only if year or date are defined and only if different, else publication-date is used and displayed as date. Use the same format as other dates in the article; do not wikilink. Follows publisher; if work is not defined, then publication-date is preceded by "published" and enclosed in parenthesis.
- via: Name of the content deliverer (if different from publisher). via is not a replacement for publisher, but provides additional detail. It may be used when the content deliverer presents the source in a format other than the original (e.g. NewsBank), when the URL provided does not make clear the identity of the deliverer, where no URL or DOI is available (EBSCO), or if the deliverer requests attribution.
Options for this field:
|work=no
suppresses "; if work is defined, then publisher and location are enclosed in parentheses"|map=yes
changes:
- publisher: Name of publisher. The publisher is the company that publishes the work being cited. Do not use the publisher parameter for the name of a work (e.g., a book, encyclopedia, newspaper, magazine, journal, website). Displays before title. Do not wikilink—use publisher-link instead.
- publisher-link: Title of existing Wikipedia article about the publisher—not the publisher's website; do not wikilink.
newsgroup
[deasaich]
- newsgroup: Name of newsgroup; a link is automatically created; do not wikilink.
language
[deasaich]
- language: A comma-separated list of the languages in which the source is written, as either the ISO 639 language code (preferred) or the full language name, e.g.
|language=fr, pt-br
or|language=French, Portuguese
. See the list of supported codes and names. Do not use templates or wikilinks. Displays in parentheses with "in" before the language name or names. When the only source language is English, no language is displayed in the citation. The use of languages recognized by the citation module adds the page to the appropriate subcategory of Roinn-seòrsa:CS1 foreign language sources. Because cs1|2 templates are often copied from en.wiki to other wikis, use of language codes is preferred so that languages render in the correct language and form: espagnol at a French-language wiki instead of 'Spanish'. Aliases: lang
pages
[deasaich]
- page: The number of a single page in the source that supports the content. Use either
|page=
or|pages=
, but not both. Displays preceded by
unlessp.
|nopp=y
. If hyphenated, use {{Hyphen}} to indicate this is intentional (e.g.|page=3{{hyphen}}12
), otherwise several editors and semi-automated tools will assume this was a misuse of the parameter to indicate a page range and will convert|page=3-12
to|pages=3{{ndash}}12
. - OR: pages: A range of pages in the source that supports the content. Use either
|page=
or|pages=
, but not both. Separate using an en dash (–); separate non-sequential pages with a comma (,); do not use to indicate the total number of pages in the source. Displays preceded by
unlesspp.
|nopp=y
.
Hyphens are automatically converted to en dashes; if hyphens are appropriate because individual page numbers contain hyphens, for example: pp. 3-1–3-15, use double parentheses to tell the template to display the value of|pages=
without processing it, and use {{Hyphen}} to indicate to editors that a hyphen is really intended:|pages=((3{{hyphen}}1{{ndash}}3{{hyphen}}15))
. Alternatively, use|at=
, like this:|at=pp. 3-1–3-15
.- nopp: Set to y, yes, or true to suppress the
orp.
notations where this is inappropriate; for example, wherepp.
|page=Front cover
or|pages=passim
.
- nopp: Set to y, yes, or true to suppress the
- OR: at: For sources where a page number is inappropriate or insufficient. Overridden by
|page=
or|pages=
. Use only one of|page=
,|pages=
, or|at=
.
- Examples: page (p.) or pages (pp.); section (sec.), column (col.), paragraph (Para.); track; hours, minutes and seconds; act, scene, canto, book, part, folio, stanza, back cover, liner notes, indicia, colophon, dust jacket, verse.
Options for this field:
- work adds "or work (or an alias) is defined"
time
[deasaich]
- minutes: Time the event occurs in the source; followed by "minutes in".
- OR: time: Time the event occurs in the source; preceded by default text "Event occurs at".
- time-caption: Changes the default text displayed before time. Alias: timecaption.
id1
[deasaich]
- id: A unique identifier, used where none of the specialized identifiers are applicable; wikilink or use a template as applicable. For example,
|id=NCJ 122967
will append "NCJ 122967" at the end of the citation. You can use templates such as|id={{NCJ|122967}}
to append NCJ 122967 instead.
id2
[deasaich]
These identifiers create links and are designed to accept a single value. Using multiple values or other text will break the link and/or invalidate the identifier. In general, the parameters should include only the variable part of the identifier, e.g. |rfc=822
or |pmc=345678
.
When an URL is equivalent to the link produced by the corresponding identifier (such as a DOI), don't add it to any URL parameter but use the appropriate identifier parameter, which is more stable and may allow to specify the access status. The |url=
parameter or title link can then be used for its prime purpose of providing a convenience link to an open access copy (as in, at least accessible to everyone for free) which would not otherwise be obviously accessible.[1]
- arxiv: arXiv identifier; for example:
|arxiv=hep-th/9205027
(before April 2007) or|arxiv=0706.0001
(April 2007 – December 2014) or|arxiv=1501.00001
(since January 2015). Do not include extraneous file extensions like ".pdf" or ".html". Aliases: eprint. - asin: Amazon Standard Identification Number; if first character of asin value is a digit, use isbn. Because this link favours one specific distributor, include it only if standard identifiers are not available. Example

. Aliases: HDL. - isbn: International Standard Book Number; for example:
978-0-8126-9593-9
. Hyphens in the ISBN are optional, but preferred. Use the ISBN actually printed on or in the book. Use the 13-digit ISBN – beginning with 978 or 979 – when it is available. If only a 10-digit ISBN is printed on or in the book, use it. ISBNs can be found on the page with the publisher's information – usually the back of the title page – or beneath the barcode as a number beginning with 978 or 979 (barcodes beginning with any other numbers are not ISBNs). For sources with the older 9-digit SBN system, use . Do not convert a 10-digit ISBN to 13-digit by just adding the 978 prefix; the last digit is a calculated check digit and just making changes to the numbers will make the ISBN invalid. This parameter should hold only the ISBN without any additional characters. It is checked for length, invalid characters – anything other than numbers, spaces, and hyphens, with "X" permitted as the last character in a 10-digit ISBN – and the proper check digit. Aliases: ISBN, isbn13, ISBN13.- ignore-isbn-error: In very rare cases, actually used ISBNs (as printed on books) do not follow the standard checksum algorithm. In order to suppress the error message, the
|ignore-isbn-error=true
parameter can be used to disable the checksum check in these cases. If the problem is down to a mere typographical error in a third-party source, correct the ISBN instead of overriding the error message. Aliases: ignoreisbnerror.

url
[deasaich]
- url: URL of an online location where the text of the publication named by title can be found. Cannot be used if title is wikilinked. If applicable, the link may point to the specific page(s) referenced. Remove tracking parameters from URLs, e.g.
#ixzz2rBr3aO94
or?utm_source=google&utm_medium=...&utm_term=...&utm_campaign=...
. Do not link to any commercial booksellers, such as Amazon; use|isbn=
or|oclc=
to provide neutral search links for books. Invalid URLs, including those containing spaces, will result in an error message.- access-date: Full date when the content pointed to by url was last verified to support the text in the article; do not wikilink; requires url; use the same format as other access and archive dates in the citations.[date 1] Not required for linked documents that do not change. For example, access-date is required for online sources, such as personal websites, that do not have a publication date; see WP:CITEWEB. Access dates are not required for links to published research papers, published books, or news articles with publication dates. Note that access-date is the date that the URL was found to be working and to support the text being cited. See "Automatic date formatting" above for details about interaction with {{Use dmy dates}} and {{Use mdy dates}}. Can be hidden or styled by registered editors. Alias: accessdate.
- archive-url: The URL of an archived snapshot of a web page. Typically used to refer to services such as Internet Archive , WebCite and archive.is ; requires archive-date and url. By default (overridden by
|url-status=live
) the archived link is displayed first, with the original link at the end. Alias: archiveurl.- archive-date: Archive-service snapshot-date; preceded in display by default text "archived from the original on". Use the same format as other access and archive dates in the citations. This does not necessarily have to be the same format that was used for citing publication dates.[date 1] Do not wikilink; templated dates are discouraged. See "Automatic date formatting" above for details about interaction with {{Use dmy dates}} and {{Use mdy dates}}. Alias: archivedate.
- url-status: this optional parameter is ignored if archive-url is not set. If omitted, or with null value, the default value is
|url-status=dead
. When the URL is still live, but pre-emptively archived, then set|url-status=live
; this changes the display order, with the title retaining the original link and the archive linked at the end. When the original URL has been usurped for the purposes of spam, advertising, or is otherwise unsuitable, setting|url-status=unfit
or|url-status=usurped
suppresses display of the original URL (but|url=
and|archive-url=
are still required). - archive-format: File format of the work referred to by archive-url; for example: PDF, DOC, or XLS; displayed in parentheses after the archive link. HTML is implied and should not be specified. File format annotation is automatically rendered when a PDF icon is displayed. Does not change the external link icon. Note: External link icons do not include alt text; thus, they do not add file format information for the visually impaired.

Single apostrophes do not need to be encoded; however, unencoded multiples will be parsed as italic or bold markup. Single curly closing braces also do not need to be encoded; however, an unencoded pair will be parsed as the double closing braces for the template transclusion.
Options for this field:
- media uses 'media' in place of 'text of the publication'
chapterurl
[deasaich]
- chapter-url: URL of an online location where the text of the publication named by chapter or contribution can be found. Cannot be used if those parameters are wikilinked. Should be at the same site as url, if any. If chapter-url is used, url should only be used if the beginning of the work and the cited chapter are on separate webpages at the site. Aliases: chapterurl, contribution-url, section-url.
- chapter-format: Format of the work referred to by chapter-url; for example: PDF, DOC, or XLS; displayed in parentheses after chapter. HTML is implied and should not be specified. Does not change the external link icon. Note: External link icons do not include alt text; thus, they do not add format information for the visually impaired.
lay
[deasaich]
- lay-url: URL link to a non-technical summary or review of the source; the URL title is set to "Lay summary". Alias: layurl.
- lay-source: Name of the source of the lay summary. Displays in italics and preceded by a spaced endash. Alias: laysource.
- lay-date: Date of the lay summary. Displays in parentheses. Alias: laydate.
- lay-format: File format of the work referred to by lay-url; for example: PDF, DOC, or XLS; displayed in parentheses after lay summary. HTML is implied and should not be specified. File format annotation is automatically rendered when a PDF icon is displayed. Does not change the external link icon. Note: External link icons do not include alt text; thus, they do not add file format information for the visually impaired.
quote
[deasaich]
- quote: Relevant text quoted from the source. Displays enclosed in quotes. When supplied, the citation terminator (a period by default) is suppressed, so the quote must include terminating punctuation.
Options for this field:
|CS2=yes
suppresses "When supplied, the citation terminator (a period by default) is suppressed, so the quote needs to include terminating punctuation."
ref
[deasaich]
- ref: the citation's HTML anchor identifier, when different from its default. When set,
|ref=ID
generates an anchor with the givenID
(theid=
attribute in the citation's<cite id="ID">
HTML Tag). Setting|ref=ID
identifies the template as a target and allows wikilinking to full references, especially useful with short-form citations like shortened notes and parenthetical referencing. The default anchor ID is suitable for use with {{Sfn}} and {{Harvard citation}} templates. Since April 2020, the parameter / keyword pair|ref=Harvard citation
has no special meaning;|ref=Harvard citation
may be removed from existing cs1|2 templates. To inhibit anchor ID creation, set|ref=none
. Aliases: none.
display
[deasaich]
- mode: Sets element separator, default terminal punctuation, and certain capitalization according to the value provided. For
|mode=cs1
, element separator and terminal punctuation is a period (.
); where appropriate, initial letters of certain words are capitalized ('Retrieved...'). For|mode=cs2
, element separator is a comma (,
); terminal punctuation is omitted; where appropriate, initial letters of certain words are not capitalized ('retrieved...'). To override default terminal punctuation use postscript. - author-mask:
- contributor-mask:
- editor-mask:
- interviewer-mask:
- translator-mask:
- Replaces the name of the first author with em dashes or text. Set <name>-mask to a numeric value n to set the dash n em spaces wide; set <name>-mask to a text value to display the text without a trailing author separator; for example, "with". You must still include the values for all names for metadata purposes. Primarily intended for use with bibliographies or bibliography styles where multiple works by a single author are listed sequentially such as shortened footnotes. Do not use in a list generated by {{Reflist}},
<references />
or similar as there is no control of the order in which references are displayed. Mask parameters can take an enumerator in the name of the parameter (e.g.|authorn-mask=
) to apply the mask to a specific name.
- Replaces the name of the first author with em dashes or text. Set <name>-mask to a numeric value n to set the dash n em spaces wide; set <name>-mask to a text value to display the text without a trailing author separator; for example, "with". You must still include the values for all names for metadata purposes. Primarily intended for use with bibliographies or bibliography styles where multiple works by a single author are listed sequentially such as shortened footnotes. Do not use in a list generated by {{Reflist}},
- display-authors: Controls the number of author names that are displayed when a citation is published. To change the displayed number of authors, set display-authors to the desired number. For example,
|display-authors=2
will display only the first two authors in a citation. By default, all authors are displayed.|display-authors=etal
displays all authors in the list followed by et al. Aliases: displayauthors. - display-editors: Controls the number of editor names that are displayed when a citation is published. To change the displayed number of editors, set display-editors to the desired number. For example,
|display-editors=2
will display only the first two editors in a citation. By default, all editors are displayed.|display-editors=etal
displays all editors in the list followed by et al. Aliases: displayeditors. - last-author-amp: Switches the separator between the last two names of the author list to space ampersand space (
&
) when set toy
,yes
, ortrue
. Example:|last-author-amp=yes
- postscript: Controls the closing punctuation for a citation; defaults to a period (
.
); for no terminating punctuation, specify|postscript=none
– leaving|postscript=
empty is the same as omitting it, but is ambiguous. Additional text or templates beyond the terminating punctuation may generate an error message.|postscript=
is ignored if quote is defined.
Options for this field:
- CS2: When set, changes:
- postscript to "defaults to none"
- separator to "Defaults to a comma (,)"
Subscription or registration required
[deasaich]
Citations of online sources that require registration or a subscription are acceptable in Wikipedia as documented in Verifiability § Access to sources. As a courtesy to readers and other editors, editors should signal the access restrictions of the external links included in a citation.
Nota bene Nota bene
- access icons do not display correctly for editors who use Modern skin.
Four access levels can be used:
- access indicator for named identifiers:
-
free
: the source is free to read for anyone
-
- access indicators for url-holding parameters:
-
registration
: a free registration is required to access the source -
limited
: there are other constraints (such as a cap on daily views) to freely access this source -
subscription
: the source is only accessible via a paid subscription ("w:en:paywall")
-
As there are often multiple external links with different access levels in the same citation, these values are attributed to a particular external link.
Access indicators for url-holding parameters
[deasaich]Sources linked by |url=
, |article-url=
, |chapter-url=
, |contribution-url=
, |entry-url=
, |map-url=
, and |section-url=
are presumed to be free-to-read.[1] When they are not free-to-read, editors should mark those sources with the matching access-indicator parameter so that an appropriate icon is included in the rendered citation. Because the sources linked by these url-holding parameters are presumed to be free-to-read, they may not be marked as free
.
url | access | allowed keywords |
---|---|---|
url= | url-access= | registration limited subscription
|
article-url= | article-url-access= | |
chapter-url= | chapter-url-access= | |
contribution-url= | contribution-url-access= | |
entry-url= | entry-url-access= | |
map-url= | map-url-access= | |
section-url= | section-url-access= |
Access indicator for named identifiers
[deasaich]Links inserted by named identifiers are presumed to lie behind a paywall or registration barrier – exceptions listed below. When they are free-to-read, editors should mark those sources with the matching access-indicator parameter so that an appropriate icon is included in the rendered citation. Because the sources linked by these named-identifier parameters are not presumed to be free-to-read, they may not be marked as limited
, registration
, or subscription
.
identifier | access | allowed keywords |
---|---|---|
bibcode= | bibcode-access= | free
|
doi= | doi-access= | |
hdl= | hdl-access= | |
jstor= | jstor-access= | |
ol= | ol-access= | |
osti= | osti-access= | |
s2cid= | s2cid-access= |
Some named-identifiers are always free-to-read. For those named-identifiers there are no access-indicator parameters, the access level is automatically indicated by the template. These named identifiers are:
|arxiv=
|biorxiv=
|citeseerx=
|pmc=
|rfc=
|ssrn=
map_series
[deasaich]
- scale: Scale of map.
- series: Title of map series.
- cartography: Person or entity that did the cartography, if this needs to be differentiated from general authorship of the map. Displays preceded by "Cartography by".
map_pages
[deasaich]
- page: Page in the source that supports the content; overridden by at.
- OR: pages: Pages in the source that supports the content; separate page ranges with an en dash (–); separate non-sequential pages with a comma (,); do not use to indicate the total number of pages in the source.
- inset: The name of the focused inset referenced; example: Downtown Fooburg. Output appends "inset" after the input,
|inset=Downtown Fooburg
becomes "Downtown Fooburg inset."; overridden by at. - section: The map section(s) of the feature referenced; example: A6, B9, L11, etc; overridden by at.
- at: For sources where a single set of the above parameters is inappropriate or insufficient to describe the in-source location(s).
- Examples: page (p.) or pages (pp.); inset(s); section (§) or sections (§§); other custom location on the map or in the atlas.
interview_author
[deasaich]
- last: Surname of subject, not interviewer. Do not wikilink—use subject-link instead. Where the surname is usually written first—as in Chinese—or for corporate authors, simply use last to include the same format as the source.
- first: Given or first names of author, including title(s); example: Firstname Middlename or Firstname M. or Dr. Firstname M., Sr.. Do not wikilink—use subject-link instead.
- OR: for multiple subjects, use first1, last1 through first9, last9 for up to nine subjects. By default, if nine subjects are defined, then only eight will show and "et al." will show in place of the last author.
- subject-link: Title of existing Wikipedia article about the subject—not the subject's website; do not wikilink.
- OR: for multiple subjects, use subject-link1 through subject-link9.
- Aliases: subject, last, last1, author1, author, authors; subject2, last2, author2 through subject9, last9, author9; subjectlink, authorlink, authorlink1; subjectlink2, authorlink2 through subjectlink9, authorlink9.
interview_interviewer
[deasaich]
- interviewer-last: Surname of a single interviewer. Do not wikilink—use interviewer-link instead. For interviewers for whom only one name is listed by the source, use interviewer or one of its aliases (e.g.
|interviewer=Bono
). Aliases: interviewer, interviewer-last1, interviewer1-last, interviewer1.- interviewer-first: Given or first names of interviewer; for example: Firstname Middlename or Firstname M. or Firstname M., Sr. Do not wikilink—use interviewer-link instead. Aliases: interviewer-first1, interviewer1-first. Requires interviewer-last; interviewer first name will not display if interviewer-last is empty.
- interviewer: this parameter is used to hold the complete name of a single interviewer (first and last). This parameter should never hold the names of more than one interviewer.
- For multiple interviewers, use interviewer-last1, interviewer-first1 through interviewer-lastn, interviewer-firstn, where n is any consecutive number for an unlimited number of interviewer- (each interviewer-firstn requires a corresponding interviewer-lastn, but not the other way around).
|interviewer-first1=...
|interviewer-last1=...
|interviewer2=...
. Aliases of interviewer-last1 through interviewer-lastn: interviewer1 through interviewern. For an individual interviewer plus an interviewer with a single name, you can use
