Usage

This module may be used to replace any of the cs1|2 templates in articles that are nearing the post-expand include size limit. Such use should only be done to prevent an article from exceeding the PEIS limit. If necessary, this module may be used in templates that wrap a cs1|2 template.

Examples

This module requires only one parameter: the first positional parameter. That parameter takes as a value, the canonical name of a cs1 template without the cite prefix: cite book → book, cite web → web. To replace {{citation}} templates, use citation.

The structure for calls to this module:

{{#invoke:cite |cite |<template name>|<cs1 parameters>}}

where:

#invoke:cite – calls this module: Module:cite

|cite – is the function in Module:cite that is to be executed: cite()

|<template name> – is the canonical name of the template without the cite prefix

|<cs1 parameters> – are all of the parameters required by {{cite <template name>}}

To go from {{cite book}}:

{{cite book |author=EB Green |date=1915 |title=Title |publisher=PseudoRandom}}

EB Green (1915). Title. PseudoRandom.

write:

{{#invoke:cite |cite |book |author=EB Green |date=1915 |title=Title |publisher=PseudoRandom}}

EB Green (1915). Title. PseudoRandom.

TemplateData

This is the TemplateData for this template used by TemplateWizard, VisualEditor and other tools. See a monthly parameter usage report for Template:Cite in articles based on its TemplateData.

TemplateData for Cite

This module for use on articles that are approaching the post-expand include size limit. For all other usage information, see [[Module:Cite]].

Template parameters[Edit template data]
