Template:Citation Style documentation

Template Documentation

This documentation is transcluded from Template:Citation Style documentation/doc. (edit | history)
Note to editors: Please don't categorize this template by editing it directly. Instead, place the category in its documentation page, in its "includeonly" section.

When updating this template keep in mind that it is used on a number of template documentation pages. If the parameters in question are unique to a template, then either add it manually to the template documentation or create a new section here for transclusion.

Usage

This template is used to build consistent documentation pages for Template:Cs1 templates.

For example: {{Citation Style documentation|author}} will show the author documentation.

Where a particular section of documentation is not appropriate for a certain template, simply add the text manually or create a new subtemplate.

Each module of text is a subtemplate that can be edited using the link.
