==Direct use of this template==
 +
When a publication is likely to be relevant to the project only once or twice, direct use of this template is appropriate. Usage is similar to above, with one notable exception: there is no <code>title</code> parameter. Rather, there is an <code>article_title</code> parameter and a <code>newspaper_title</code> parameter. The <code>newspaper_title</code>, if supplied, will be displayed in the same location as "The Daily Record" examples above and it will be italicized, but it will not a link unless that brackets are added manually.
