{Wikicite} makes a simple reference, for use in a "References" section for books, journals, web references, etc. The reference text is formatted manually, and the template merely adds an anchor for linking from in-text citations.
This template is only needed for handwritten citations that are linked to by a shortened footnote or a parenthetical reference. If you don't mind using a citation template, it is more standard to use {sfn} or {harv} with a template such as {citation}, {cite book}, {cite web}, etc.
This template is not necessary if the citation uses a citation template (such as {cite book}). Use the |ref=
parameter of the citation template to create the anchor. This template is also not necessary if the article does not contain a shortened footnote or parenthetical reference that creates a link (e.g. (Smith 2009)). The anchor serves no purpose if nothing links to it.
Usage
Cut-'n'-paste.
{Wikicite | id= | reference= }
or, alternatively
{Wikicite | ref= | reference= }
The |id=
or |ref=
parameters are alternative unique identifiers used for the reference link on the page, compatible with some other reference templates. If both |id=
and |ref=
are provided, |id=
is ignored. There are two differences between these:
|id=
automatically prefixes the link anchor with "Reference-", whereas|ref=
does not|id=
encloses the link anchor in double quotes, so these must not be provided by the editor; but if using|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|ref="Von Autor-2006"
)
Thus, these two forms
{Wikicite | id=Anchor 1 | reference=Reference text } {Wikicite | ref="Reference-Anchor 1" | reference=Reference text }
produce identical results.
The |reference=
parameter is the actual reference text. It may be plain text, formatted text, or one of the citation templates.
Examples
Recommended format (using the |id=
parameter and a shortened footnote for illustration):
In the article body:
According to Atwood, blah blah.<ref>[[#Reference-Atwood-2003|Atwood (2003)]], p. 29.</ref>
In the references section:
* {Wikicite | id= Atwood-2003 | reference= Atwood, Margaret (2003). ''Oryx and Crake'', Toronto: McClelland & Stewart. ISBN 0-7710-0868-6. }
Result:
According to Atwood, blah blah.[१]
Notes
- ↑ Atwood (2003), p. 29
References
- Atwood, Margaret (2003). Oryx and Crake, Toronto: McClelland & Stewart. ISBN 0-7710-0868-6.
This can also be linked to from {sfn} or the {Harv} family templates if the |ref=
parameter is used in combination with the {Harvid} template, as in the following example:
According to Atwood, blah blah.{sfn|Atwood|2003|p=29}
* {Wikicite | ref= {Harvid|Atwood|2003} | reference= Atwood, Margaret (2003). ''Oryx and Crake'', Toronto: McClelland & Stewart. ISBN 0-7710-0868-6. }
Features
- Compatible with any reference style: editor has 100% control of the format through a technology called editing wikitext
Technical features:
- Produces well-formed, accessible, semantically-correct HTML code
- Compatible many other templates' in-text citation links (any id which starts with "Reference-")
- Complies with WP:AUM
- No conditionals
- No CSS hacks
Alternatives
Note that the identical behavior can be achieved using the more standard {Harvnb} (or {sfn}) and {Citation}
In article body:
{Harv|Atwood|2003}
In references section:
*{Citation| last=Atwood | first=Margaret | year=2003 | title=Oryx and Crake | location=Toronto | publisher=McClelland & Stewart | isbn=0771008686}
