ᱪᱷᱟᱸᱪ:Citation Style documentation

Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

Usage

This template is used to build consistent documentation pages for Citation Style 1 templates.

For example: {{Citation Style documentation|author}} will show the author documentation.

Where a particular section of documentation is not appropriate for a certain template, simply add the text manually or create a new subtemplate.

Each module of text is a subtemplate that can be edited using the link.

Parameters to copy are enclosed in tables created by sub-templates.
