Parameters

edit

The order of the parameters by default is

  1. title of article page = {{{title}}}
  2. volume number = {{{vol}}}
  3. month/year of publication = {{{date}}}

Though if you use all parameter names, order can be varied. All these parameters are mandatory for a functional template link to be generated.

  • Two optional parameters can be used to override visible text and position on page of work
    • {{{anchor}}} to change the link position on referred page to a predefined anchor
    • {{{author}}} to include the name of the author of the article
    • {{{override_title}}} to change the descriptive text visible for the link.

Note: The parameter {{{volumename}}} is for the use of automatic link creation, using the full "Volume #" from the article page name instead of simply "#" when manually entered.
