This is a documentation subpage for ទំព័រគំរូ:Wikicite. It may contain usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original ទំព័រគំរូ page.

{{Wikicite}} creates an anchor, for use in a "References" section for books, journals, web references, etc. The anchor should be linked-to in the body of the article.

The reference text may be formatted manually, and the template merely adds an anchor for linking from in-text citations. This template is also useful when using a citation template that does not support the |ref= parameter (for example, {{London Gazette}}, but there are others).

This template is only needed for handwritten citations, or citations using non-standard citation templates, that are linked to by a shortened footnote or a parenthetical reference. If you don't mind using a citation template, it is more standard to use {{sfn}} or {{harv}} with a template such as {{citation}}, {{cite book}}, {{cite web}}, etc.

This template is not necessary if the citation uses a citation template (such as {{cite book}}). Use the |ref= parameter of the citation template to create the anchor. This template is also not necessary if the article does not contain a shortened footnote or parenthetical reference that creates a link (e.g. (Atwood 2003)). The anchor serves no purpose if nothing links to it.

Cut-'n'-paste.

{{wikicite | id = | reference = }}

or, alternatively

{{wikicite | ref = | reference = }}

The |id= or |ref= parameters are alternative unique identifiers used for the reference link on the page, compatible with some other reference templates. If both |id= and |ref= are provided, |id= is ignored. There are two differences between these:

• |id= automatically prefixes the link anchor with "Reference-", whereas |ref= does not
• |id= encloses the link anchor in double quotes, so these must not be provided by the editor; but if using |ref=, the specified content for this parameter must be enclosed in quotes unless it consists entirely of letters, figures, hyphens and periods. If it contains any other character - such as a blank or underscore - it must be quoted. (e.g., a ref anchor of Von Autor-2006 must be specified as |ref="Von Autor-2006")

Thus, these two forms

{{wikicite | id = Anchor 1 | reference = Reference text }}
{{wikicite | ref = "Reference-Anchor 1" | reference = Reference text }}

produce identical results.

The |reference= parameter is the actual reference text. It may be plain text, formatted text, or one of the citation templates.

Recommended formats.

• Compatible with any reference style: editor has 100% control of the format through a technology called editing wikitext

Technical features:

• Produces well-formed, accessible, semantically-correct HTML code
• Compatible with many other templates' in-text citation links (any id which starts with "Reference-")
• Complies with WP:AUM
• No conditionals
• No CSS hacks

Note that the identical behavior can be achieved using the more standard {{Harvnb}} (or {{sfn}}) and {{Citation}}

In article body: {{Harv|Atwood|2003}}

In references section: * {{citation | last = Atwood | first = Margaret | year = 2003 | title = Oryx and Crake | location = Toronto | publisher = McClelland & Stewart | isbn = 978-0-7710-0868-9 }}
