Template:Multiple text attribution
|
At least one revision of this page incorporates text from multiple sources. |
Template documentationThis template is used in accordance with the project's policy on using copyrighted material and is mandatory when attributing more than a single source unless otherwise noted in said policy. Otherwise, use Template:Text attribution.
Usage
The invocation of this template should be done at the bottom of the references section of an article. If such a section does not exist yet, it should be created for this purpose. If using the template in another namespace, such as File:, anywhere near the bottom is sufficient.
Parameters
| Parameter | Purpose |
|---|---|
sourceX= |
The fully qualified hyperlink to the source material. |
rationaleX= |
The rationale for using the material. Available options are below. |
authorsX= |
If rationale= isn't wikipedia this has to be populated with the author(s) of the work, preferably with links to profiles or social media platforms (e.g [https://linkedin.com/John_Doe John Doe]). If no authors are provided, place N/A.
|
wiki-pageX= |
If rationale= is wikipedia and where the template is invoked is not an exact match for the relevant page on Wikipedia, namespace included, place the name of the Wikipedia article in this parameter (including the namespace).
|
X should be replaced with a number 1-5. Each number links the 4 parameters together for a single source (e.g A rationale provided for source1= is done by doing rationale1=). All parameters are needed for each source excluding wiki-page= if the rationale is not wikipedia and authors= if the rationale is wikipedia.
