----
'''Template:wikicite''' makes a simple citation, for use in a "References" section for books, journals, web references, etc. Cut-’n’-paste:
{| style="font-family:Courier; background-color:ghostwhite; border: 1px dashed blue; width:100%; padding-left:.75em; "
|
<nowiki>{{wikicite | id= | reference= }}</nowiki>
|}
The "id" is a unique identifier used for the reference link on the page, compatible with some other reference templates (100% compatible with {{tl|wikiref}}, if you use the format ''Author-2006''; use an underscore for a space: ''Von_Autor-2006''). The "reference" is the full text of a reference, including links. The reference is formatted through ''editing wikitext''. Recommended format:
{| style="font-family:Courier; background-color:ghostwhite; border: 1px dashed blue; width:100%; padding-left:.75em; "
|
<nowiki>{{wikicite | id= Atwood-2003 | reference= Atwood, Margaret (2003). ''Oryx and Crake'', Toronto: McClelland & Stewart. ISBN 0-77100-868-6. }}</nowiki>
|}
Result:
* {{wikicite | id= Atwood-2003 | reference= Atwood, Margaret (2003). ''Oryx and Crake'', Toronto: McClelland & Stewart. ISBN 0-77100-868-6. }}
Resulting code:
{| style="font-family:Courier; background-color:ghostwhite; border: 1px dashed blue; width:100%; padding-left:.75em; "
|
<nowiki><li><cite id="Reference-Atwood-2003" style="font-style:normal;">Atwood, Margaret (2003). <i>Oryx and Crake</i>, Toronto: McClelland & Stewart. <a href="/w/index.php?title=Special:Booksources&isbn=0771008686" class="internal">ISBN 0-77100-868-6</a>.</cite></li></nowiki>
|}
This includes the HTML <code><nowiki><cite id="Reference-Atwood-2003"></nowiki></code>, allowing you to link to the citation in your article's text with, for example
<code><nowiki>[[#Reference-Atwood-2003 |(Atwood 2003)]]</nowiki></code>, yielding a Harvard-style reference [[#Reference-Atwood-2003 |(Atwood 2003)]].
