Template documentation | This template uses Lua: |
This template produces a series of links to various search interfaces to help find additional reference material for articles. It is intended for use in maintenance tags such as Template:Notability, and should not be used directly in articles.
How this works
Template:Find sources dynamically selects a list of relevant search links based on the WikiProjects listed on an article's talk page. The default search link array is साँचा:tl. A full list of domain-specific link groups are available in the see also section of this document.
Domain links override
Template:Find sources respects the domain (aka search-domain) parameter (e.g. domain=general), which can be set by editors in साँचा:tl or साँचा:tl to override the automated selection.
Usage
The first parameter is the main search term, which will be treated as a literal string if multi-part (e.g. Albert Einstein will be searched as the single string "Albert Einstein" not "Albert" and "Einstein" separately).
Optional subsequent parameters (up to 4) are additional search terms. They can be enclosed in double quotation marks, preceded by an unspaced - (hyphen) to exclude them from the search results, or both (e.g. -"Marilyn Monroe" to exclude matches containing the phrase "Marilyn Monroe", but not either name by itself, from the search results). You do not need to add -wikipedia, as the template automatically does this for you. Also, there is no need to add words in plural form unless irregular, as the search interface will match (for example) billiards as well given a search term of billiard.
If no parameters are given, the name of the current subpage is used as the search string. If the current subpage has a disambiguator in parentheses, e.g. Happy Birthday (Stevie Wonder song), then the main part of the page name will be quoted and the disambiguation text will follow, like "Happy Birthday" Stevie Wonder song. You can specify that another title be used by using the title parameter.
Search engines
The template includes links to the following search engines:
- Google, the flagship search engine from Google Inc.
- Google News, Google's search engine for news sites.
- Google Newspapers, a search of Google's digital archive of print newspapers.
- Google Books, Google's search engine for books.
- Google Scholar, Google's search engine for academic papers and other scholarly research.
- JSTOR, an online library containing digitised versions of academic journals. Requires a subscription.
