From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Below are examples of how to use templates to cite books, encyclopedias, journals, theses, papers, websites, comic strips, videos, and editorial comics. See also category:citation templates.

  • For full description of the template — click the template name
  • Required field(s) are indicated in bold
  • Copy and paste the text under "common usage" to use the template.
  • Following each example is the resulting article text.

The use of Citation templates is not required by WP:CITE and is neither encouraged nor discouraged by any other Wikipedia citation guidelines. They may be used at the discretion of individual editors, subject to agreement with the other editors on the article. Some editors find them helpful, while other editors find them annoying, particularly when used inline in the text. Because they are optional, editors should not change articles from one style to the other without consensus.

See Wikipedia:Citing sources#Tools for a list of tools which can help create some of the templates below.

  • The style of this template is based on Allen Ellis' Comic Art in Scholarly Writing: A Citation Guide, 1999.

Harvard citation examples ( Template:Harvard citation)

Based on related Harvard citation template (automatically creates a one-directional link to the first matching Harvard reference on the same page):

  • {{Harvard citation|Turner|1851|pp=10–11}} (full cite format)
  • {{Harv|Smith|1879|p=289}} (short format)
  • {{Harvtxt|Turner|1851}} asserts that ... (author's name part of text)
  • {{Harvnb|Smith|1879}} (no braces)
  • {{Harv|Jones|2006|loc=section 5|Ref=none}} (non-linking)
  • {{Harv|Lincoln|Washington|Adams|2007|pp=88–89}} (multi-author)

Three Harvcol templates are altered to use colons to indicate page numbers. Their syntax is identical to the Harvard citation template:

Notes
  • For compatibility with various author-name referencing styles, Surname and Year are mandatory.
  • If there is only one author, the parameters Surname and Given may be replaced with Last and First, respectively.
  • Template is generally compatible with Template:Cite book.
