![]() | This is a documentation subpage for Template:Americana Author. It contains usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page. |
Purpose
editThis template enables linking from authored articles in The Encyclopedia Americana project(s) to the appropriate Wikisource author page. It also formats the link similar to the appearance in the printed version of the article.
Usage
edit{{Americana Author|name of the author}}
The terminating period in the author name should be omitted. If the author has an accompanying descriptive label, that can be included using the label
option. If the article has been revised by someone specific, that person can be listed using the reviser
option. It is possible to have only a reviser. Again, no terminating periods should be included, and the terminating comma or period on the author name should be omitted as well. An optional second argument (no parameter) changes the link to go to that name rather than the one specified in the first no-parameter argument.
