Template:PSM link/doc

Purpose

This template enables linking from Wikisource articles (usually author pages) to articles in the the Wikisource project of one of the series of Popular Science Monthly.

Usage

{{PSM link|title of article page|volume number|month & year of publication}}

Example

* {{PSM link|Sketch of Prof. Gray|1|August 1872}}

displays as:

• "Sketch of Prof. Gray" in Popular Science Monthly, 1 (August 1872)

Parameters

The order of the parameters by default is

1. title of article page = title
2. volume number = vol
3. month/year of publication = date

though if you use all parameter names, order can be varied. All these parameters are mandatory for a functional template link to be generated.

• Two optional parameters can be used to override visible text and position on page of work
  • anchor to change the link position on referred page to a predefined anchor
  • author to include the name of the author of the article
  • override_title to change the descriptive text visible for the link.

Note: The parameter volumename is for the use of automatic link creation, using the full "Volume #" from the article page name instead of simply "#" when manually entered.

Example

{{PSM link
 |vol=45
 |date=July 1894
 |title=Notes
 |anchor=Alfred Burdon Ellis
 |override_title=Obituary: Alfred Burdon Ellis
}}

produces

"Obituary: Alfred Burdon Ellis" in Popular Science Monthly, 45 (July 1894)
