Template:Miscellaneous source

[view] [edit]

The {{miscellaneous source}} template is used to make a citation for a source that does not fit well with a more specific source template. Sources that use the {{miscellaneous source}} template are added to Category:Miscellaneous sources.

Full syntax

Template with all parameters	Parameter	Description
{{miscellaneous source |first1= |last1= |first2= |last2= |first3= |last3= |first4= |last4= |first5= |last5= |title= |description= |date= |note= |is-subref={{{is-subref|}}} |source-name={{subst:PAGENAME}} }}	first1	First author's first name. For a source with only one author, first can be used as a synonym.
	last1	First author's last name, or the whole name of the author when that author has a single name (such as an organization). For a source with only one author, last can be used as a synonym.
	first2	Second author's name.
	last2
	first3	Third author's name.
	last3
	first4	Fourth author's name.
	last4
	first5	Fifth author's name.
	last5
	title	Title of the source.
	description	Description of the source, in lieu of (or in addition to) the title. The description should not have an initial capital (unless the first word should be capitalized anyway, e.g., a name), so that it will appear correctly in subreferences.
	date	Date of the source.
	note	A note to be appended to the end of the citation.
	is-subref	Set this parameter to true when citing this letter inside the definition of another source in the "Source" namespace. This changes some punctuation and suppresses the categorization of the source in Category:Miscellaneous sources.
	source-name	The page name of this source (in the "Source" namespace). This is used to provide a link to the source page.
