Template:New texts/item/doc

Usage

Used to add new items to Template:New texts. {{{1}}} is for the text's title, {{{2}}} for the Author's name, and {{{3}}} for the year (doesn't appear if undefined). No subst.

Options to be used sparingly

• To display alternate text for the title, ie. rather than the link, 1, one can utilise display to override.

  where the identified title is part of another work (ie. a subpage), or the work name is very long

• To have a plain text, rather than an active link for the author, add a fourth parameter nowiki, eg. nowiki=yes

  where the author is a body without an author name. Note for anonymous authors, do not use this parameter, instead utilise {{anon}}

• To display a small image, use image_name for the filename and image_size to define the size of the image.
