About citation

 

The old easy way was: <Authorname> <Year-of-publication>, p. <pagenumber> in the ref; and the full title in the Literature-section.

Nicer is for instance: using template:Sfnp, like: {{sfnp|Hemetsberger|2012|page=118}} as a ref, together with template:Citation in the literature-section, like: {{Citation | last1 = Hemetsberger | first1 = Andrea | chapter = 'Let the Source be with you!' –Practices of Sharing in Free and Open-Source Communities. | editor1-last = Sützl | editor1-first = Wolfgang | editor2-last = Stadler | editor2-first = Felix | editor3-last = Maier | editor3-first = Roland | editor4-last = Hug | editor4-first = Theo | title = Media, Knowledge And Education: Cultures And Ethics Of Sharing/ Medien – Wissen – Bildung: Kulturen Und Ethiken Des Teilens. | year = 2012 | location = Innsbruck | publisher = Innsbruck University Press | isbn = 978 3 902811 74 5 }}

don't forget the "ref=harv" parameter. <- attention! this is no longer necessary!

Very useful might be: the RefToolbar. See: Wikipedia:RefToolbar.

  • Template:Citation
  • Template:Cite book

Use id={{OCLC|nr|show=all}} as a parameter!

and if necessary:

• • Template:Subscription required

• Template:sfnp <- creates a footnote (with brackets around date)
• Template:sfn (without brackets)
• Template:harv in text (with brackets)
• Template:harvnb (no brackets)
• Template:harvp (brackets around date)

And for linking to a source with no known writer etc., use: Template:harvid (or Template:SfnRef).

If source has no date: see this workaround

In English wikisource is available: the Dictionary of National Biography (1885-1900).
Linking to articles in this dictionary can be done by using Template:Dictionary of National Biography.

Example (in ref section): {{DNB | wstitle = Strutt, Jacob George | first = Freeman Marius | last = O'Donoghue | authorlink = Freeman Marius O'Donoghue | volume = 55 | page = 64 }} gives:

 This article incorporates text from a publication now in the public domain: O'Donoghue, Freeman Marius (1898). "Strutt, Jacob George". In Lee, Sidney (ed.). Dictionary of National Biography. Vol. 55. London: Smith, Elder & Co. p. 64.

And this ref can be linked by {{sfnp|O'Donoghue|1898}}, which gives ^[1].
