Usage
[edit ]This module may be used to replace any of the cs1|2 templates in articles that are nearing the post-expand include size limit. Such use should only be done to prevent an article from exceeding the PEIS limit. If necessary, this module may be used in templates that wrap a cs1|2 template.
Examples
[edit ]This module requires no parameters but does require the canonical name of a cs1 template without the cite prefix: cite book → book, cite web → web. To replace {{citation}} templates, use citation.
The structure for calls to this module:
{{#invoke:cite |<template name>|<cs1 parameters>}}
where:
#invoke:cite– calls this module: Module:cite|<template name>– is the canonical name of the template without theciteprefix; this is the#invoke:function call; case insensitive|<cs1 parameters>– are all of the parameters required by{{cite <template name>}}
To go from {{cite book}}:
{{cite book |author=EB Green |date=1915 |title=Title |publisher=PseudoRandom}}- EB Green (1915). Title. PseudoRandom.
write:
{{#invoke:cite |book |author=EB Green |date=1915 |title=Title |publisher=PseudoRandom}}- EB Green (1915). Title. PseudoRandom.
