Wikipedia:WikiProject The KLF/Citation templates

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
  • {{Cite AV media}} - Can be used to cite musical recordings
  • {{Cite AV media notes}} - Can be used to reference sleeve notes
  • {{Cite book}} (see further details below)
  • {{Cite episode}} - For television or radio programs and episodes, e.lg. a documentary program about the KLF which was an episode of a documentary series
  • {{Cite news}}
  • {{Cite magazine}}
  • {{Cite press release}} (I wouldn't use for KLF Communications Info Sheets, as they were sent out to fans, but this can be used for e.g. record company press releases
  • {{Cite sign}} - For signs, plaques, and other non-video visuals (so that would include graffiti and posters! However, we generally - but possibly not always - cite secondary sources for those)
  • {{Cite web}} - General web references

Books

[edit]

If a book is cited regularly, with different page numbers, this can cause the citations list to grow. Tentative research suggests that the preferred way of dealing with this is in order:

  • From Template:Rp/doc#Notice: One citation as normal using {{Cite book}} for each page number, until that becomes excessive (let's say more than 3 entries in the reflist? --- if it looks from the outset like an article will use the book a lot, it's easier to start as you mean to go on, however i.e. the next option)
  • Otherwise, have one ref name for the book, and follow the citation with a {{rp}} or a {{r}}, which adds a page number and optionally a quotation after the numbered inline citation. This template may go away and be replaced by built-in functionality in the ref tag but a bot would take care of retiring the template. [Reportedly some editors don't like this template]
    • Example: {{rp|95–96}}
    • Example: {{rp|higgs|p=95–96}}
    • Or if using not directly after the declaration of the reference:
  • Or put the book into the references section above the reflist, and use {{sfn}} [Reportedly some editors don't like this either, and it seems less desirable than the above option to me as the references section would contain both a book and a reflist - messy. I am not going to recommend this for WP:KLF articles]
