Template:Wikisource author/doc

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This template when used on an author's page will utilise interwiki links stored at Wikidata to create the link and the label to the author page at English Wikisource. A different language can be chosen by using the |lang= parameter and the corresponding language code.

Usage

[edit]
[edit]
Wikitext Output Notes
At William Shakespeare
{{wikisource author}}
Placement of the template is usually after the "External links" section header prior to any inline list.
Warning: Do not put an asterisk "*" at the start of the line or it will cause the box and text to be distorted.
[edit]

To note that parameters can still be utilised to override the presentation, though this would not be the preferred means as when a page is moved here or at Wikisource the link would be broken. An example of such usage would be adding an author link on an article that is a list of works of the author.

Wikitext Output
At Alice Bertha Gomme
{{wikisource author|wslink=Alice Bertha Gomme|title=Alice Gomme}}

"works by or about"

[edit]

The default template text says "Wikisource has original works by or about [author]". This can be changed to "works by [author]", "works about [author]", or "works by and about [author]", by setting the |works= parameter.

Wikitext Output
At Joseph Hardman
{{wikisource author|works=by}}
At Henry VII
{{wikisource author|works=about}}
At William Shakespeare
{{wikisource author|works=both}}
