Template:Citation Style documentation/title

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This is an old revision of this page, as edited by Jonesey95 (talk | contribs) at 20:43, 27 April 2015 (adding "link" feature to title documentation to exclude mention of "url" parameter in Cite arxiv. Also listing Cite arxiv in the "displays in quotes" section.). The present address (URL) is a permanent link to this revision, which may differ significantly from the current revision.
  • title: Title of source. Expression error: Unexpected = operator Displays in italics. If script-title is defined, title holds romanized transliteration of title in script-title.
    • script-title: Original title for languages that do not use a Latin-based alphabet (Arabic, Chinese, Hebrew, Japanese, etc); not italicized, follows italicized transliteration defined in title. May be prefixed with an ISO 639-1 two-character code to help browsers properly display the script:
      ... |title=Tōkyō tawā |script-title=ja:東京タワー |trans-title=Tokyo Tower ...
    • trans-title: English translation of the title if the source cited is in a foreign language. Displays in square brackets after title; if url is defined, then trans-title is included in the link. Use of the language parameter is recommended.
Titles containing certain characters will display and link incorrectly unless those characters are encoded.

  • title-link: Title of existing Wikipedia article about the source named in title – do not use a web address; do not wikilink. Alias: titlelink.
