Template:Collective work header/doc

Usage

This template provides a standardised format for collective work header templates. It is not intended to be used directly on pages, rather a template using it is made for each collective work. For example, {{EAm06}}.

Parameter to use from the calling template

The following parameters can be used from templates using this template (e.g. {{EAm06}}:

• basename: main page of the collective work, e.g. "The Encyclopedia Americana (1906)"
• displayname: the title of the collective work that will be shown: e.g. "The Encyclopedia Americana" (optional)
• author: author of the collective work (optional)
• editor: editor of the collective work (optional)
• translator: translator of the collective work (optional)
• override_author, override_translator (both optional), function as in normal headers
• disclaimer: disclaimer for the collective work (optional). This will give a link to [[{{{basename}}}/Project Disclaimer]], which is the standard location for a disclaimer. Enter the display text of the link, e.g. "the 1906 Encyclopedia Americana disclaimer". If this is not given, nothing will be shown.
• contributor: name of the author of this section, if not the same as author the overall work. Not wikilinked.

Parameters to use for the end page

Other parameters in the template are designed to be used from the end page:

• previous, next: previous and next articles in the work.
• noarticle: enter "True" to flag an article as having no text - this will cause it to be categorised into [[Category:{{{Basename}}} articles without text]] (optional)
• notes: additional notes on the article (optional)
• Sister wiki links (all optional): wikipedia, commons, commonscat, wikiquote, wikinews, wiktionary, wikibooks, wikiversity, wikispecies, meta
• Internal links (all optional): related_author, portal

Categorisation

This template will categorise templates using it into Category:Standardised collective work headers.

This template will categorise articles into [[Category:{{{basename}}} articles]] or [[Category:{{{Basename}}} articles without text]], depending on whether the {{{noarticle}}} parameter is given in that article.

Copy-paste example

Use the following code to make new collective work headers:

{{Collective work header
 | basename     = The Encyclopedia Americana (1906)
 | displayname  = The Encyclopedia Americana
 | author       = 
 | translator   = 
 | disclaimer   = the 1906 Encyclopedia Americana disclaimer
<!-- Below this point are "pass-though" parameters that shouldn't be edited here -->
 | previous       = {{{previous|}}}
 | next           = {{{next|}}}
 | wikipedia      = {{{wikipedia|}}}
 | commons        = {{{commons|}}}
 | commonscat     = {{{commonscat|}}}
 | wikiquote      = {{{wikiquote|}}}
 | wikinews       = {{{wikinews|}}}
 | wiktionary     = {{{wiktionary|}}}
 | wikibooks      = {{{wikibooks|}}}
 | wikiversity    = {{{wikiversity|}}}
 | wikispecies    = {{{wikispecies|}}}
 | meta           = {{{meta|}}}
 | portal         = {{{portal|}}}
 | related_author = {{{related_author|}}}
 | notes          = {{{notes|}}}
 | noarticle      = {{{noarticle|}}}
}}
