This is an example of an Infobox for a person. It's a good way to provide a quick view of lots of information. There are plenty of templates and fields to use! | |
Automatic citations[edit]
When you cite a book with an ISBN,[1] most websites,[2] or an article with a DOI,[3] you can automatically generate a reference. In the Visual Editor, click "Cite" and then just add whichever identifier best fits your resource. Click "Generate" and "Insert." If not all the relevant information gets added automatically, you can click on the supertext again and then click "Edit" to add more information.
Citing exhibition labels[edit]
What about an exhibition label? If the information is in an exhibition catalogue or on a web page, then it's better to use that, like in this example[4] or this one.[5]
But if the information is ONLY in the wall text, then you can also manually add a citation. Remember that the most important thing is that someone else can find the information when they need to confirm it. It's best to include as much information as possible:
- For object labels: Artist, Title, Medium, Date, Accession number.
- Author of text / Curator of exhibition (if known)
- Name of exhibition / Name of museum department
- Museum name and location
- Dates of exhibition / Date of visit
In the Visual Editor, we'll click "Cite" and then "Manual entry," followed by "Basic form." The format cited below is a good example.[6]
