Purpose

This is a template to generate links to entries in the PhilPapers at philpapers.org.

Parameters

The required parameters are the PhilPapers label (category, or journal) and the PhilPapers topic both of which appear in the url for that topic. The template then uses the Wikipedia article title as the link text:

* {{InPho | {{{1}}} | {{{2}}} | {{{3}}} }}

{{{1}}}: category, rec, search, or journal {{{2}}}: PhilPapers topic {{{3}}}: Alternate link name (if this value is empty, it defaults to the article pagename)

Examples and usage

Suppose you want to add an external link to the PhilPapers' category on Aristotle. Locate the article at the PhilPapers website. The url will contain a number. Enter this number as the second perimeter.

* {{PhilPapers|category|aristotle}}

will produce the link

• PhilPapers at PhilPapers

Note: This template should generally only be used in the External links sections of articles; it should not be used in citations, references or bibliography. Consider using {{citation}}, {{cite web}} or related templates for those purposes.

Detailed instructions

1. Copy and paste the template into the External links section of the article
2. Go to https://philpapers.org and search for the topic you want (say, Aristotle; you'll reach https://philpapers.org/browse/aristotle)
3. Copy the PhilPapers label, in this case, "category" and paste it into the first perimeter, then
4. Copy the PhilPapers topic (here, "aristotle") and paste it into the second perimeter
5. You will then have
6. * {{PhilPapers|category|aristotle}} resulting in:
   • PhilPapers at PhilPapers

Note that the link text will be the same as the Wikipedia title of the page the template is used on
