Discussion

Editor field

is there a reason conference reference doesn't have an editor field? Is there a template that DOES do that (Book Article Reference perhaps)

I would be looking for author, title, editors, booktitle, year, ISBN, Pages

Or so I would think Rick Boatright 21:13, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Added "Editor", as well as other optional fields like in Template:Book reference. Of course, it's backward compatible with the old template (I have done a lot of testing, and after the changes old usages seems OK). --surueña 18:45, 23 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Does URL= do anything?

I tried using it in the reference in the RISC Single Chip article, but no link showed up - did I do something wrong, or is there a bug in the template? Guy Harris 05:41, 12 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
