iirc, I sent an email last week, its now much easier to use cite templates. You dont need the blank template anymore, just use the dropdown on the top of the edit box and fill in the blanks :)<br><br></div></div></blockquote>
<div>Dropdown is really useful, its the best way to add refs. For those using ProveIt, its a good tool for refs too. </div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">

Subject: [Wikimedia-in-en] GA Master Class - Using cite templates<div><div class="h5"><br><br>Someone asked, how do I use the templates for cite book, cite web etc? What does its columns mean?<br><br>Let us look at a template cite book in this post.<br>
<br>Typically, I store a shortened blank template for {{cite book}} which is:<br>
<br><ref name="">{{cite book |title= |last= |first= |authorlink= |coauthors= |year= |publisher= |location= |isbn= |page= |pages= |url= |accessdate=9 January 2012}}</ref><br><br>Its really simple, just fill in the blanks. For example -<br>
<br>title (title of the book) = The Last Days of the Mahatma<br>last (last name of author) = Desai<br>first (first name of author) = Hirenbhai<br>authorlink (if the author has a Wikipedia article on him, this is the name of that article, leave blank if none) =<br>
coauthors (names of additional authors, only if any) = Kulkarni, Srikanth & Karlekar, H. B.<br>year (year of publication) = 2001<br>publisher (name of publisher) = Nawajiwan Press<br>location (which city is publisher located in) = Ahmedabad<br>
isbn (International Standard Book Number, earlier in 9 digits, now in thirteen digits, IMPORTANT, specify only one isbn in the template, doesn't matter whether 9-digit or 13-digit) = <span>0-941990-93-9</span><br>
page (give the page number; only use if the page referred was just one page) = 324<br>pages (give the page numbers; only use if the page(s) referred to were more than one page ) = 324-327<br>(IMPORTANT - Use "page" or "pages" but not both.)<br>
url (uniform resource locator, i.e. your web address in layman's terms) - <a href="http://books.google.com/books?id=ESgDAAAAMBAJ&pg=PA60" target="_blank">http://books.google.com/books?id=ESgDAAAAMBAJ&pg=PA60</a><br>
accessdate=The day you accessed it on the web<br>
<br>Ah yes, <br><br>ref name=some phrase you think off to link your common list-defined references.<br><br>Hope this helps,<br><br clear="all">Warm regards,<br><br>Ashwin Baindur<br>------------------------------------------------------<br>
