Purpose
This template and its heirs add an explicitly semantic, machine-readable, bibliographic layer to a simple unordered list item.
Article templates for specific publications
When possible, one should use the appropriate subtemplate of this template. To see a list of available newspaper titles or to request the creation of a new subtemplate, please see User:Merlin/spellbook/newspapers.
Usage
To create a single bibliographic item, locate the appropriate subtemplate and provide the following parameters (when known and applicable):
Parameter name | Example value | Note |
---|---|---|
title | The Title of the Newspaper Article | Just the title in plaintext. Do not add quotation marks, style, etc. |
year | YYYY | The year of publication, four digits. |
day | DD | The day of the month of publication, two digits (01–31). |
month | MM | The month of the year of publication, two digits (01–12). |
page | {{Cite page|1}} | See Template:Cite page or Template:Cite pages. |
section | S | The section of the periodical. |
author | Jane {{Surname|Doe}} | The author or authors. Template:Surname can be used to identify surnames. |
A series of template calls to the "newspaper article" template family should constitute the sole parameter of a call to Template:Newspaper articles.
Example source
A simple example of a semantic "Newspaper articles" section would be entered as so:
{{Daily Record article | title = One Heckuva Big Buildings: Visitors Awed By Gerstenslager Co.'s Newest Facility | author = Jane {{Surname|Bablack}} | year = 1955 | day = 16 | month = 12 }} {{Daily Record article | title = Gerstenslager's Last Buggy in Marshallville | year = 1967 | day = 18 | month = 04 | page = {{Cite page|3}} }}
The whitespace (empty spaces, new lines, etc.) is mostly ignored by the wiki software; it is stylized above solely for the sake of readability.
Example output
The two calls to Template:Daily Record article defined above produce the following:
- December 16, 1955: "One Heckuva Big Buildings: Visitors Awed By Gerstenslager Co.'s Newest Facility" by Jane Bablack, The Daily Record.
- April 18, 1967: "Gerstenslager's Last Buggy in Marshallville", The Daily Record, p. 3.
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 title
parameter. Rather, there is an article_title
parameter and a newspaper_title
parameter. The newspaper_title
, 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.
Example source
{{Newspaper article | article_title=From Carriages to Cars: Over the Years, The Gerstenslager Co. Has Seen the Ride Go From Horse-Drawn to Horsepower | year=1997 | day=17 | month=1 | author=[[Wooster Area Chamber of Commerce]] }} {{Newspaper article | newspaper_title=The Plain Dealer | article_title=Wooster—To Native of Wayne County, The Name George Gerstenslager is What the Name Henry Ford is to Detroiters | year=1968 | month=07 | day=19 }}
Example output
The two calls to Template:Newspaper article defined above produce the following:
- Article title
- From Carriages to Cars: Over the Years, The Gerstenslager Co. Has Seen the Ride Go From Horse-Drawn to Horsepower
- Date of publication
- 1997/01/17
- Article title
- Wooster—To Native of Wayne County, The Name George Gerstenslager is What the Name Henry Ford is to Detroiters
- Newspaper title
- The Plain Dealer
- Date of publication
- 1968/07/19
