Template:Cite GG01/doc
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
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.
