Template:citation/documentation

This template is used to form the level-two header of citations on citations pages. Please do not use it in entries (in the main namespace).

Parameters
It recognizes up to seven parameters, all optional: a language code, up to five unnamed (positional) parameters for entries, and "ct" for the context.


 * 1 The language of the citation, represented by a language code. The parameter lang is a deprecated synonym for this parameter; please do not use. If this is used, all numbered parameters move down by one.
 * 2 The entry to be linked. If empty or omitted, the entry is equal to the page name without the "Citations:" prefix.
 * 3 A second entry to be linked.
 * 4 A third entry to be linked.
 * 5 A fourth entry to be linked.
 * 6 A fifth entry to be linked.
 * ct The context of a word, in case it is outside the main namespace. For example, "Harry Potter".

Categorization

 * Using this template in a "Citations:" page result in categorizing it into a category of citations of the respective language (e.g., Category:English citations, Category:Portuguese citations).
 * In addition, using this template in a "Citations:" linking to an entry which does not exist result in categorizing it into Category:English citations of undefined terms, Category:French citations of undefined terms, etc. according to the appropriate language.
