[view] [edit] [purge] Template documentation

This documentation is transcluded from Template:PlainCiteDevBlog/doc.

Usage

This template exactly like Template:CiteDevBlog, with two exceptions. First, it is not a reference template in the sense that it does not create footnote-styled references. Instead, it creates the same text that {{CiteDevBlog}} would as a non-reference. This is desirable if a certain Dev. Blog is the source of the majority of an article, as having the same reference at the end of every sentence. Second, it does not have the "name" parameter, as this only applies to footnote-style references.

{{PlainCiteDevBlog |author= |url= |title= |blogdate= |notes= |date=~~~~~}}

Author

The author of the blog found in large letters at the top. Include "Mod" prefixes, such as "Mod Mark" instead of simply "Mark".

URL

Make sure to include the full URL, including the http://.

Title

The title of the Developers' blog, found in large letters at the top of the page.

Blogdate

The date the blog was added which appears right after the author's name.

Notes

Optional. This parameter allows you to add text beginning one space after end end of the citation. Having no formatting (meaning you will have to format it yourself), this area can be used for anything you require.

Date

Leave this field as ~~~~~, it will auotmatically be converted to the proper date and time format. When verifying the reference, delete whatever is provided and change it to ~~~~~.
