Usage
This template should be placed in the References section of an article if the article incorporates text from a source that is not under copyright and there is no source specific template listed in Category:Attribution templates.
This template takes up to three parameters:
1(unnamed)- The name of the source, along with any other details which are needed to identify the work
pl- Pass
yesto this parameter to change from "this source" to "these sources" sentence- Pass any value to this template in order to change the opening statement (see examples)
- {{Source-attribution|source and other details}}
Examples
A text string with no parameters, such as <ref>{{cite book|last=Author|first=A. N.|year=1066|title=An Old Book}} {{PD-notice}}</ref>, would display as [1]
The template with only the unnamed parameter, e.g. <ref>{{Source-attribution|''Handbook to the cathedrals of England'', by Richard John (1869)}}</ref>, shows as [2]
Using |pl=yes, as in <ref>{{Source-attribution|pl=yes|''Handbook to the cathedrals of England'', by Richard John (1869)}}</ref>, shows as [3]
Using |sentence=yes, as in <ref>{{Source-attribution|sentence=yes|''Handbook to the cathedrals of England'', by Richard John (1869)}}</ref>, shows as [4]
In the references section, these appear as
References
- ↑ Author, A. N. (1066). An Old Book.
