About this template
Template:Citation/core can be thought of as an engine producing consistent output for Wikipedia's citations. Templates such as {{citation}} provide this core template with a list of parameters, which it uses to produce a formatted text (HTML) output, which contains embedded COinS metadata. This metadata allows many readers to find cited references more easily, or to extract their details to a reference manager.
The presence of a central template makes individual citation templates simpler to code and amend, and produces a consistent look throughout the encyclopaedia.
Templates using this 'engine'
Changes to this central template can affect the output of several 'upstream' templates. A list of templates using citation/core is provided below for testing purposes.
- Template:Citation
- Template:Cite book
- Template:Cite journal
- Template:Cite web
- Template:Cite encyclopedia
- Template:Cite mailing list
- Template:Cite news
