Category:Automotive book citation templates

This category contains citations to automotive-related transport books. The pages listed in this category are templates. This page is part of Wikipedia's administration and not part of the encyclopedia. Further template category notes This category contains pages in the template namespace. It should not be used to categorize articles or pages in other namespaces. To add a template to this category: If the template has a separate documentation page (usually called "Template:template name/doc"), add  [[Category:Automotive book citation templates]] to the <includeonly> section at the bottom of that page. Otherwise, add  <noinclude>[[Category:Automotive book citation templates]]</noinclude> to the end of the template code, making sure it starts on the same line as the code's last character.

The general syntax for the name of the template is either:

1. the lead author's/editor's or the publisher's name followed by a "-" then at least one word to identify the book, or
2. the book’s ISBN (if it has one). Since it should be to hand when you are quoting a citation, it is easy to find and remember.

N.B. Since most of these template are transcluded, two or more editions in one template breaks the citation in multiple articles. Therefore, Please do not add or expand an existing template – create a new one instead. With naming schema number 2, it is easy for editors to access the template for the edition that they are using.

As an example Template:Brooklands-AMG1GP which contains

{{cite book 
| editor1-last  = Clarke
