Field variables

Wiki links

Intrawiki links can be added to most fields (eg: title = [[article|title]]), but it is recommended to include only internal links to existing Wikipedia articles. All wiki links should not contain any symbols that would interfere with the operation of the template, use normal parentheses () instead of <>[]{ }.

Description field

field variable

In the following field descriptions, some fields have a parent-child linkage relationship, and the parent-child fields must be used together to display properly:

• Pro field
  • Subfield — must be used together with the parent field (if the parent field is not filled, it can be ignored)
  • Or: Subfield 2 — can be used in place of parent field (ignored if parent field is already used)

Parameters

• author: author's name, suitable for use when the author's name (or translated name) is in Chinese, for example: Zhang Ailing, George Washington. Internal links can be added by filling in the authorlink field below.
• last: The author's last name, because there is a space between the first name and the author's name, it is recommended to use the author's last name in the original text (usually in English). Example: Johnson. Please do not include wiki links directly, use the authorlink field instead.
  • first: The author's name, because there is a space between it and the surname, it is recommended to use the author's name in the original text (usually in English). For example: Jack. A middle name can also be added. Please do not include wiki links directly, use the authorlink field instead.
    • last and first are only suitable for author names written in English (or other similar languages), please use the author field instead.

• editor: The name of the editor/editor of the book. Since there is no default text in this field, users must add annotation text such as " (Edit)" by themselves.
• others: Contributors to other books, eg: translated by Wang Daming; or: illustrations drawn by Li Xiaohua.
• title: The title of the book. This is the only required field. Can link to an existing article in Wikipedia. English books can be italicized (''book title''), and Chinese should not be italicized.
• url: If it is an online book, please fill in the URL. Not available if an internal link has been added to the title field.
  • format: Book format, such as: PDF, HTML, etc. If there is no special format, it is not necessary to fill in.
  • accessdate: The full date of access to the online book URL. The format is: XXXX, XX, XX, and internal links can be added freely, for example: February 20, 2007. If the book does not have a URL, it is not necessary to fill in it.
• edition: used when the book has a specific edition, eg: the second edition of June 1997.
• series: used when the book is part of a series of publications.
• origdate: The publication date of the original version. The format is: XXXX, XX, XX, and internal links can be added freely, for example: February 20, 2007.
