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]

On December 23, some of the features of this template were disabled to comply with WP:AUM. I'll install a workaround. Melchoir 21:11, 18 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I've adapted this template to conference format. As a side effect, First, Last, and Authorlink now work, as well as all the optional parameters that were deleted, including URL, Publisher, etc. Props to Netoholic and Adrian Buehlmann for providing the template.
