Template:Authority/link/doc

Usage

To create citation type link (link) templates for "hosted works" (works composed of multiple smaller works, for example encyclopedias or anthologies), especially on Author: pages.

It can be used directly for a link using the parameters that you require or it can be used to create another/derivative template for further use.

Direct

{{authority/link
 | title =  Catholic Encyclopedia  (1913)| title display = Catholic Encyclopedia
 | link = Roger Brooke Taney
 | year = 1913
 | contributor = J. P. W. McNeal
 | publisher = The Encyclopaedia Press
 | location = New York
 | editor = Charles G. Herbermann and others
}}

producing

• "Roger Brooke Taney," by J. P. W. McNeal in Catholic Encyclopedia, (ed.) by Charles G. Herbermann and others, New York: The Encyclopaedia Press (1913)

Derivative template

When using the template to create another template (eg. {{CE link}} as in the above example) it takes either

• hard values to be set, eg. title = title text here
• parameters to be re-used, eg. if the work has article contributors then contributor = {{{contributor|}}}
• values can be omitted, where not needed

{{authority/link
 | title =  Catholic Encyclopedia  (1913)| title display = Catholic Encyclopedia
 | link = {{{link|{{{1}}}}}}
 | year = 1913
 | contributor = {{{contributor|{{{author|}}}}}}
 | publisher = The Encyclopaedia Press
 | location = New York
 | editor = Charles G. Herbermann and others
}}

Noting that the derivative template can have alternative names for its parameters (right hand side of equation) rather than use the default parameter name.
