Citation template

[edit]

@Philoserf:

Hi! In regards to this citation template, it did not already link to the Wikipedia article about the book. That was the reason why I moved the URL out of the template: it cannot link a Wikipedia article and a URL at the same time, and it is important that the Wikipedia article on the book be linked.

see Template:Cite web and the other CS2 templates for how to wikilink from within a template. —¿philoserf? (talk) 23:21, 13 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Philoserf: The relevant template would be Template:Cite book. From Template:Cite_book#Examples it shows a piped wikilink for the title of the book, which is:
  • |title=[[A Thousand Acres|1000 Acres]]
Also:
  • "Date without day, wikilinked title, publisher, pages, edition, location" shows another example of a piped wikilink as |title=[[Manual of the Planes]]
  • "title: Title of source. Can be wikilinked to an existing Wikipedia article or url may be used to add an external link, but not both."
  • "title-link: Title of existing Wikipedia article about the source named in title – do not use a web address; do not wikilink."
  • "url: URL of an online location where the text of the publication named by title can be found. Cannot be used if title is wikilinked."
I tried using "title-link" and a "url" at the same time in the preview, and I am given "URL–wikilink conflict" as a response. My understanding is that at this time it is not possible to Wikilink the title and use the URL fields at the same time, and one or the other needs to be chosen. If it is now possible to do both, I would be eager to see how it is done. (BTW it is possible to wikilink the title and insert a page number URL at the page number field)
Thank you,
