Template:Wikicite/doc: Difference between revisions

{{Documentation subpage}}

 

{{tl|Wikicite}} creates an anchor, for use in a "References" section for books, journals, web references, etc. The anchor should be linked-to in the body of the article.

== Usage ==

Copy-'n'-paste.

or, alternatively (but not equivalently{{snd}}see below)

 

The first parameter is an alias for {{para|reference}}. The {{para|id}} or {{para|ref}} parameters are alternative unique identifiers used for the reference link on the page, compatible with some other reference templates. If both {{para|id}} and {{para|ref}} are provided, {{para|id}} is ignored. There are two differences between these:

* {{para|id}} encloses the link anchor in double quotes, so these must not be provided by the editor; but if using {{para|ref}}, the specified content for this parameter must be enclosed in quotes ''unless'' it consists entirely of letters, figures, hyphens and periods. If it contains ''any'' other character - such as a blank or underscore - it must be quoted. (e.g., a ref anchor of ''Von Autor-2006'' must be specified as {{para|ref|"Von Autor-2006"}})

Thus, these two forms

produce identical results.
