Usage
This module may be used to replace any of the CS1/CS2 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 limit. If necessary, this module may be used in templates that wrap a CS1/CS2 template.
Examples
This module requires no parameters, but does require the canonical name of a CS1 template, without the Cite prefix, a la Cite book → Book and Cite web → Web. To replace {{Citation}} templates, use Citation.
The structure for calls to this module is…
{{#invoke:Cite|<template name>|<CS1 parameters…>}}
…where:
#invoke:Cite– calls this module, Cite.|<template name>– is the canonical name of the template, without theCiteprefix; this is the#invoke:function call; it is case-insensitive.|<CS1 parameters…>– are all of the parameters required by {{Cite <template name>}}
To go from {{Cite book}}:
{{Cite book|last=Green|first=E.B.|year=1915|title=Title|publisher=PseudoRandom}}- Green, E.B. (1915). Title. PseudoRandom.
…use wiki markup that follows this rubric:
{{#invoke:Cite|book|last=Green|first=E.B.|year=1915|title=Title|publisher=PseudoRandom}}- Green, E.B. (1915). Title. PseudoRandom.
