Template:Template doc page transcluded This template is used to cite sources in Citizendium. It is specifically for books.

[edit] Usage

All fields must be lowercase.

Copy a blank version to use. Remember to use the "|" (pipe) character between each field. Please delete any unused fields to avoid clutter in the edit window.

No templates or magic words are necessary when using an ISBN, OCLC number, or DOI as an identifier. Instead of using the id field in these instances, simply use the appropriate field. For instance, type isbn= followed by the number instead of id=ISBN. Templates are available for other identification number types to be used in the ID field ({{ISSN}}, {{LCCN}}, {{LCC}}, etc.) if these aren't available. See also the complete description of fields.

† This is the preferred field with its alternates listed below.
‡ If chapterurl is provided then chapter can not have wikilinks.

[edit] Fields

[edit] Wikilinks

Most fields can be wikilinked (ie. title = [[book article|book title]]), but should generally only be linked to an existing Wikipedia article. Any wikilinked field must not contain any brackets apart from normal round brackets () — don't use <>[]{}.

[edit] Description of fields

[edit] Syntax (for the technical-minded)

Nested fields either rely on their parent fields, or replace them:

  • parent
    • child — may be used with parent (and is ignored if parent is not used)
    • OR: child2 — may be used instead of parent (and is ignored if parent is used)

[edit] Testing

See Template:cite book/regression tests.

[edit] Note

Note the extra full-stop when the last author ends with an initial, and there is no date:

We don't know of a practical solution to this — unless there is a way to test the characters of a field?
