Template:Unbulleted list citebundle/sandbox

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

Main page: Help:Citation merging

This template creates an unbulleted list for bundled citations. It works with shortened footnotes, full citations, and general notes. The standard {{unbulleted list}} template will disrupt white space within references. It causes an unnecessary line break before the first list item. See below for comparisons:

Bundled citation with {{unbulleted list citebundle}}:

Versus incorrect rendering with {{unbulleted list}}:

Usage

If any of the unnamed parameters contain an equal sign (=) in their text (not in their use of parameters in other templates), the parameter must be named in the usual way, {{Unbulleted list citebundle|1=}}. E.g. {{Unbulleted list citebundle|[https://www.naxos.com/CatalogueDetail/?id=SWR19026CD "''Festliche Arien – Fritz Wunderlich''"], [[Naxos Records]] SWR19026CD}} will produce no output. But {{Unbulleted list citebundle|1=[https://www.naxos.com/CatalogueDetail/?id=SWR19026CD "''Festliche Arien – Fritz Wunderlich''"], [[Naxos Records]] SWR19026CD}} works as expected:

• "Festliche Arien – Fritz Wunderlich", Naxos Records SWR19026CD

With "cite" templates

The wiki text for the initial example above uses {{cite xxx}} templates for the footnotes:

Markup

Renders as

Body text.<ref> {{Unbulleted list citebundle | For the sun's size, see {{cite book | last=Miller | first=Edward | title=The Sun | publisher=Academic Press | year=2005 | page=1 | ref=none}} | For the moon's size, see {{cite journal | last=Brown | first=Rebecca | title=Size of the Moon | journal=Scientific American | volume=51 | issue=78 | year=2007 | page=46 | ref=none}} | For the sun's heat, see {{cite book | last=Yamada | first=Hanako | script-title=ja:太陽の熱 | title=Taiyō no netsu | trans-title=The Sun's Heat | publisher=Academic Press | year=2005 | page=2 | ref=none}} }}</ref> {{reflist}}

Body text.

Multiref and shortened footnotes

The template can also be called as {{multiref}} for easier typing. The example below uses shortened footnotes.

Markup	Renders as
Text.<ref>{{multiref|Smith, p. 2|Jones, p. 105|Singh, p. 93|Lee ''et al.'', p. 22|Smith & Jones, p. 591}}</ref>{{reflist}}	Text.

With "harv" templates

Harvard-style templates create short citations that link to full citations. This template can be used to bundle short citations created by {{harvnb}}, {{harvtxt}}, and others.

Markup	Renders as
Text.<ref> {{Unbulleted list citebundle| {{harvnb|Yamada|2005|p=2}} | {{harvnb|Brown|2007|p=105}} | {{harvnb|Miller|2005|p=93}} }}</ref>{{reflist}}	Text.

Example references for the linked footnotes above:

• Yamada, Hanako (2005). Taiyō no netsu 太陽の熱 [The Sun's Heat]. Academic Press.
• Brown, Rebecca (2007). "Size of the Moon". Scientific American. 51 (78).
• Miller, Edward (2005). The Sun. Academic Press.

One source citing another

This is where the editor cannot, or has not, accessed the source verifying the claim, but instead has cited a second source providing a quote from the first source. Using this template makes it clear that there are two relevant items in the bibliography.

Markup	Renders as
Text.<ref>{{multiref|Smith, p. 2 citing|Jones, p. 105}}</ref>{{reflist}}	Text.

Explanatory notes

One possible reason for adding an explanatory note is to make it clear that the citation leads to an example of the claimed fact, not to verification of the claim itself which may be in a later cite.

Markup	Renders as
There are many breeds of cat found in Venezuela,<ref>{{multiref|For example,|Moggie, p. 2|Tom, p. 95}}</ref> particular in the cities.<ref>Smith, p. 32</ref>{{reflist}}	There are many breeds of cat found in Venezuela, particular in the cities.

Explanatory note with a single citation:

Markup	Renders as
There are many breeds of cat found in Venezuela,<ref>{{multiref|One example,|Moggie, p. 2}}</ref> particular in the cities.<ref>Smith, p. 32</ref>{{reflist}}	There are many breeds of cat found in Venezuela, particular in the cities.

Known problems

The template works, in part, by suppressing line breaks in the specified references. This works poorly if the page is sufficiently short that the references collide with an infobox or picture. In those cases, use one of the {{clear}} variants or {{multiref2}}.
