![]() | Prospective template to replace now-deprecated |lay-date= , |lay-format= , |lay-source= , |lay-url= in cs1 |
This template is a wrapper template to provide standardized formatting for sources that describe scholarly research in a way that is more accessible to a general audience. This template should be bundled with a citation to that scholarly research. If the source described by this template is to be cited in an article, it would be better to use the proper cs1|2 template.
To use this template, specify one of the cs1|2 templates in |template=
. Choose a cs1|2 template from the list below that is appropriate to the lay source: ((cite news))
for a newspaper article or other news source, ((cite magazine))
for a magazine article, etc. If |template=
is empty or omitted, ((lay source))
defaults to ((cite web))
. This wrapper template supports all of the standard cs1|2 citation templates:
((cite arXiv))
((cite AV media))
((cite AV media notes))
((cite bioRxiv))
((cite book))
((cite CiteSeerX))
((cite conference))
((cite encyclopedia))
((cite episode))
((cite interview))
((cite journal))
((cite magazine))
((cite mailing list))
((cite map))
((cite news))
((cite newsgroup))
((cite podcast))
((cite press release))
((cite report))
((cite serial))
((cite sign))
((cite speech))
((cite SSRN))
((cite tech report))
((cite thesis))
((cite web))
((citation))
Supply the parameters and values necessary to properly cite the lay source. For example, an adaptation of the |lay-url=
and |lay-source=
parameters in this citation might be written this way:
((lay source |template=cite news |url=https://www.abc.net.au/news/2005-04-11/blood-sucker-gets-up-womans-nose/1549312 |title=Blood-sucker gets up woman's nose |date=10 April 2005 |agency=Reuters |work=ABC News |location=Australia))
|ref=
is suppressed and internally set to none
to prevent sources wrapped in this template from being linked by ((sfn))
etc.
