Fields
Wikilinks
Most fields can be wikilinked (i.e. title = [[book article|book title]]), but should generally only be linked to an existing Wikipedia article. Any wikilinked field must not contain any brackets apart from normal round brackets () — don't use <>[]{}.
Description of fields
Syntax (for the technical-minded)
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)
- OR: child2 — may be used instead of parent (and is ignored if parent is used)
Description
- last: Surname of author. Don't wikilink (use authorlink instead).
- first: First name(s) of author, including title(s) (e.g. Firstname Middlename or Firstname M. or Dr. Firstname M., Snr.). Don't wikilink (use authorlink instead).
- 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 "author" or "first" and "last".
- coauthors: Full name of additional author or authors, separated by ", " (e.g. Joe Bloggs, John F. Kennedy, H. R. Dent).
- OR: author: Full name of author, preferably surname first.
- title: Title of paper. This is the only required parameter. Can be wikilinked only to an existing Wikipedia article. Do not use italics.
- url: URL of an online location where the book can be found. Cannot be used if you wikilinked title.
- format: Format, e.g. PDF. HTML implied if not specified.
- accessdate: Full date when url was accessed, in ISO 8601 YYYY-MM-DD format, e.g. 2006-02-17. Required when url field is used. Must not be wikilinked.
- date: Full date of publication edition being referenced, in ISO 8601 YYYY-MM-DD format, e.g. 2006-02-17. Must not be wikilinked.
- publisher: Publisher should not include corporate designation such as "Ltd" or "Inc".
- id: A unique identifier. You need to specify the kind of identifier you are using, preferably with a template like साँचा:tl.
