re: The Grantville Gazettes Citations templates, part of 1632 series.

This template fills in the blanks in {{Cite book}} and uses the same field names with a few exceptions.

  • Specifying a 'default' field name (e.g. isbn) will override the default, which in this case, is the isbn for the 1st ed. paperback.
  • If that is used to cite the ebook or the hardcover, then edition= must also be specified (changed).
  • Similarly, date would need changed when citing either, but not origdate, which is correct.
  • Specify long=yes or l=true (|l=1 will do it) the first time the template is used on a page to toggle the long output form. Subsequent cites will be briefer.
the output needs nested in standard <ref>{cite book| ... }}</ref> manner, 
at least until release 1.4 allows embedding ref blocks inside templates.
Optional (Non-standard named) fields are:
  pp= (alternative for pages=)
   q= (alternative for quote=)
  ch= (alternative for chapter)
long= or l= (define TRUE (anything) to display full book cite format,
            when FALSE, gives abbreviated list above.)
Optional (Not part of {{cite book}}) named fields are:

pp= (alternative for pages=) Note in either case, you must provide your own leading "p. " or "pp. "
 q= (alternative for quote=)

ch= (alternative for chapter)

st= or story= (Both alternative for chapter), but which preface "in the story:" to the 
     chapter field, building the string:chapter= 'in the Story: "{{{st}}}"'
     (in other words using ch or chapter gives you total formatting control. st/story are
     for these anthologies where one is most likely discussing, citing characters or
     developments revealed in that canonical story.)

long= or l= This is a "switch", which if defined causes a change in output.
     Providing one "long" (should be the first) cite of the book in that article
     on the page, with other cites shortened.
