Template:Cite Scandinavian Runic-text Database
 | This template is a Citation Style 1 specific-source template based on {{Cite encyclopedia}}. For centralised Citation Style 1 discussions, see Help talk:Citation Style 1. |
Rationale
[edit]Articles often incorrectly cite Rundata or Runor, which are applications used to access the Scandinavian Runic-text Database, rather than the database itself. This template makes it easy to improve and standardize these citations. See especially Scandinavian Runic-text Database § Version history to ensure you cite the correct edition when replacing citations to Rundata.
Parameters
[edit]The template automatically populates precise publication dates based on |edition= using edition release dates found on Uppsala runforum.
|srdb= is preferred as a more stable identifier, but |runor= may be used instead to generate a link. If both are provided, |runor= is unused but it may be helpful for finding archived versions if the website becomes defunct in the future.
When |short=yes, the publisher and editors are omitted for a shorter brief citation. This is useful when to prevent recurring citations of the Scandinavian Runic-text Database in the same article from becoming repetitive and verbose.
