Template:Harvard citation documentation: Difference between revisions

If a specific link to the page or section is available, a [[Uniform Resource Locator|URL]] can be added to the location or page number.

===No author name in citation template===

# For a newspaper or periodical, you may use the name of the paper and the date.

# For a publication by an institution, use either:

#### The citation does not have an author's, or an editor's, last name (authors take precedence over editors). '''Solution''': check that {{para|ref|{{tl|harvid|''args''}}}} is set correctly (see below).

### The citation uses a [[Help:Citation Style Vancouver|Citation Style Vancouver]] template. '''Solution''': check that {{para|harvid}} is set correctly (see below).

### The full citation does not use a template:

#### It has no wikicode to create an anchor. '''Solution''': If {{cite *}} citation templates are used liberally throughout the article, then reformat the full citation with the appropriate {{cite *}} template (and set the {{para|ref}} appropriately, if necessary). Otherwise consult with local editors on the talk page about how to proceed. Either add {{cite *}} templates and {{tl2|harv}} templates, or remove all templates, depending on what local editors prefer. A few articles use {{tl2|wikicite}} to create an anchor as an alternative to standard templates.

#### It uses {{tl2|wikicite}}. '''Solution''': Check that the text in {{para|id|{{tl|harvid|''args''}}}} matches the text in {{tl2|wikicite}}.

## If the Harvard citation uses a handwritten wikilink, such as <code><nowiki>[[#Reference-Smith2006|Smith (2006)]]</nowiki></code>:

### Otherwise, check that the reference has <code><nowiki>{{wikicite|ref=</nowiki>''id''<nowiki>|reference=</nowiki>''citation''<nowiki>}}</nowiki></code> with a matching id.

: <span style="color:#d73333; font-weight:bold; font-size:115%">A [[Help:Footnotes#WP:LDR|list-defined reference]] named "{{nobr|. . .}}" is not used in the content (see the [[Help:Cite errors/Cite error references missing key|help page]]).</span>

{{tracked|T22707}}

A [[Template:Sfnlink#example-3|workaround]] is possible using {{tl|sfnlink}}.

===Applications of these templates===

====Harvard citation: [[Template:harv|<code><nowiki>{{harv}}</nowiki></code>]]====

{{Markup

{{anchor|Shortened footnote}}

====Shortened footnote: [[Template:sfn|<code><nowiki>{{sfn}}</nowiki></code>]] or [[Template:harvnb|<code><nowiki>{{harvnb}}</nowiki></code>]]====

Template {{tl2|harvnb}} inside a {{tag|ref|o}} span can be used to create a [[Help:Shortened footnotes|shortened footnote]] that is linked to the full citation at the bottom of the article. Template {{tl2|sfn}} (without the use of {{tag|ref|o}}) has the same effect, automatically adds a period (full stop) after the page number, and combines identical footnotes automatically.

====In text attribution: [[Template:harvtxt|<code><nowiki>{{harvtxt}}</nowiki></code>]]====

{{markup

|<nowiki>According to {{harvtxt|Smith|2009|p=25}} ...

====Bundled citation: [[Template:harvnb|<code><nowiki>{{harvnb}}</nowiki></code>]] or [[Template:sfnm|<code><nowiki>{{sfnm}}</nowiki></code>]]====

Template {{tl2|harvnb}} can be used to [[WP:CITE#Bundling citations|bundle citations]]. {{tl2|sfnm}} also produces bundled citations.

===Citation template [[HTML element#Links and anchors|anchor]]===

The most common citation templates are {{cs1}} or {{cs2}}. By default, [[Module:Citation/CS1]] creates an [[HTML element#Links and anchors|anchor]] {{tag|a|o|params=name="CITEREF"}} followed by the concatenation of the following parameters:

* '''date''', '''year'''

Use of the '''date''' parameter in place of the '''year''' parameter in citation templates is preferred.

The call to {{tl2|harvnb}} has been [[subst]]'ed for quicker load times.
