Usage

This template should be placed in the References section of an article if the article incorporates text from a source that is not under copyright and there is no source specific template listed in Category:Attribution templates.

{{Source-attribution|source and other details|no-icon=y |pl=y |inline=y}}

The four parameters are:

  • 1 (unnamed) = source name and other identifying details — The name of the source, along with any other details which are needed to identify the work (the argument (the text) can also be another template such as {{cite book}})
  • no-icon=y — remove the leading icon (alternative noicon and the argument can be any string such as yes or 1 etc)
  • pl=y — changes the wording from "from a publication" to "from publications" (alternative plural and the argument can be any string such as yes or 1 etc).
  • inline=y — change the wording of the prescript from "This article..." to "One or more of the preceding sentences..." (alternative sentence and the argument can be any string such as yes or 1 etc). It is intended for use in inline citations.
