Template:Cite album-notes

[edit] [purge] Template documentation

This template employs intricate features of template syntax. You are encouraged to familiarise yourself with its setup and parser functions before editing the template. If your edit causes unexpected problems, please undo it quickly, as this template may appear on a large number of pages. Remember that you can conduct experiments, and should test all improvements, in either the local /sandbox or your user space before changing anything here.

Usage

Copy one of these three blank versions to use. Note that all fields must be lowercase, and remember to use the "|" (pipe) character between each field. Please delete any unused fields to avoid clutter in the edit window.

Description of fields

Syntax

Nested fields either rely on their parent fields, or replace them:

• parent
  • child — may be used with parent (and is ignored if parent is not used)
  • alternative — may be used in place of parent

Description

• title: The title of the album. This is the only required field. Do not wikilink (and do not italicize, as this has been done for you).
  • albumlink: The name of the Wikipedia article about the album, if one exists. Do not wikilink.
• artist: The name of the artist or band, or Various artists if applicable. Please wikilink if the citation is being used on a page that is not the artist or band's article. |bandname= is a deprecated synonym for |artist=.
• year: The copyright year of the album. Do not wikilink.
• url: The full URL (internet address) of the notes if they are available online.
• notestitle: The title of the notes, if different from the title of the album.
• last: The last name of the author of the notes, if different from the artist. Don't wikilink (use authorlink instead).
  • first: The first name of the author of the notes.
  • authorlink: Title of Wikipedia article about author. Article should already exist. Must not be wikilinked itself. Do not use this on its own, but along with "first" and "last".
  • coauthors: Full name of additional author or authors, separated by ", " (e.g. Joe Bloggs, John F. Kennedy, H. R. Dent).
• page: Page number if a multi-page document and referencing a single page. "page=5" produces p. 5.
  • or pages: Page numbers if a multi-page document and referencing more than one page. "pages=5-7" produces pp. 5-7. This is for listing the pages relevant to the citation, not a total number of pages. Do not include the "p." or "pp." prefix.
  • or at: The name of a page for cases like "back cover", etc. The template will not add a "p." or "pp." prefix.
• format: How the notes are presented (booklet, book, insert, back cover, cover, liner, etc.) and for what type of medium the album is presented in (CD, DVD, Vinyl). Example: CD liner or Vinyl back cover.
• publisher: The record label. You may wikilink if the record label has an article.
  • publisherid: The catalog number from the publisher for the album release that corresponds to the notes.
  • location: The location of the publisher to the smallest geographical unit known (city, state, country). You may wikilink.
• ref: ID for anchor. By default, no anchor is generated. The ordinary nonempty value |ref=ID generates an anchor with the given ID; such a linkable reference can be made the target of wikilinks to full references, especially useful in short citations like shortened notes and parenthetical referencing. The special value |ref=harv generates an anchor suitable for the {{harv}} template; see anchors for Harvard referencing templates. See "Wikilinks to full references" in Examples below for using the ref field in citation templates in conjunction with short <ref>...</ref> citations.

Notes for Harvard references

1. If you specify |ref=harv, you must also specify an author surname using |last=surname.
2. This template supports only a single author, and so |ref=harv will only work for a single author: {{harv|Smith|2009}} will work, but {{harv|Smith|Jones|2009}} will not.
