Template:Header periodical/doc
 | This is a documentation subpage for Template:Header periodical. It contains usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page. |
 | This template is a derivative of {{header}} |
Usage[edit]
Normally this template should not be used; if a periodical has a human-edited page that lists all works that have a Wikisource transcription, simply use {{header}}. This template exists as a stopgap/fallback in cases where a number of subpages have been created for a periodical, but the work of manually listing them has not yet been done. It is used in the main namespace for periodicals where we have articles, though no curated content by edition. Once the manual curation has been completed (i.e., a complete listing on the periodical's main page or subpages), it is best to replace this template with {{Header}}. It is the means to display the root page, or subpages of a periodical where no listing is manually being maintained. The template transcludes an automatically generated listing from Special:PrefixIndex/
{{header periodical}}
The periodical header expects works subdivided by year, an where it detects a similar subpage for the year before or the year after, then these will be display in the previous and next fields.
{{header periodical|year=1879}}
Categorisation of the year of the work occurs through the subdivision by year, or by use of the year parameter.
Available parameters[edit]
- year — where works are listed on a subpage by year, and the periodical is further separated by issue, then a year can be assigned by use of the year = … parameter.

- portal — when a portal is to be assigned, as per {{header}}
