Documentation[edit]
Relative links[edit]
With lengthy, multi-page works, using relative links is highly recommended. This shortens the code and ensures that a work remains linked together even if it is moved or reorganised. The three formats are [[/subpage]] (subpage), [[../]] (parent), and [[../sibling]] (sibling); see the example usage below. Note that [[../]] will expand to the title of the parent page, which is ideal if the work is renamed at a later time.
This depends on a page conforming to the page title standards in the naming conventions, with works in the form [[Work title]] and [[Work title/Subpage]].
Chapter titles[edit]
In general, include chapter titles in the "section" field, but avoid including them in the "previous" and "next" fields. For example:
| ←Chapter X | How the Other Half Lives by Jacob Riis Chapter XI: The Sweaters of Jewtown |
Chapter XII→ |
Special cases[edit]
Translations[edit]
|translator=Joe
The name of the translator. This will automatically be linked to an author page unless it contains the "[" character.
(A value of "?" or "unknown" adds {{No translator info}} to the page.)
(A value of "not mentioned" adds translator not mentioned to the page.)
No link to author page[edit]
| author= |override_author=Joe
Displays the author's name without a link to an author page (for works that don't have traditional authors).
