Template:Cite print

Template documentation (for the above template, sometimes hidden or invisible)

This template is used to cite print publications such as books, magazines, newspapers, etc. that are released in physical form rather than only published to a website or electronically. Some may be published in print and later archived online, such as online magazine archives of issues released in the 20th century. Please use the template that applies to the first time it was published. For online works, see {{Cite_web}}.

We also have templates for commonly-cited books:

• {{ABCs}}: for The ABC's of LGBT+ by Ash Hardell. Published 2016 by Mango Media. ISBN: 9781633534087.
• {{A-Z}}: for The A-Z of Gender and Sexuality: From Ace to Ze by Morgan Lev Edward Holleb. Published 2019 by Jessica Kingsley Publishers. ISBN: 9781785923425 (paperback), ISBN: 9781784506636 (eBook)
• {{QueensEnglish}}: for The Queens' English: The LGBTQIA+ Dictionary of Lingo and Colloquial Phrases by Chloe O. Davis. Published 2021 by Clarkson Potter/Publishers. ISBN: 9780593135006, ISBN: 9780593135013 (Ebook)

Usage

Copy-and-paste the template code into an article's reference note or manually type it out. Title is the only required parameter. Fill in as many fields as you can and delete/omit any that you don't use.

If typing it, either a space or an underscore may be used to call the template (Cite print or Cite_print). Spaces between parameters are optional for readability (ex. {{Cite_print|title=Example|author=First Last}} versus {{Cite print |title=Example |author=First Last}}). The parameters can be put in any order since they will display in the predetermined order regardless.

Basic form for a book

{{Cite_print |title= |author= |date= |publisher= |isbn=}}

Basic form for a magazine article

{{Cite_print |titlepart= |author= |title= |number= |date=}}

All parameters, horizontal format (delete or omit the ones you don't need)

Parameters

• version: If applicable, a specific version of a publication that's been printed multiple times, such as 3rd edition, 10th anniversary reprint, etc.
• number: Any specific associated numbers for the title, such as its volume or issue number, e.g. issue #1 or vol. 1, no. 2.
• titlepart: If applicable, the name of a specific part of a larger publication, such as an essay in an anthology/collection, an article in a magazine, or an entry in an encyclopedia. Do not use this parameter for an entire publication. Automatically surrounded by quotation marks.
• author: Name(s) of individual(s) or organization(s) who wrote the content. A long list of authors can be reduced using ", et al." after the first name. May be wikilinked. Automatically prefaced with the word "by".
• contributor: Name(s) of any significant contributors who aren't the authors, such as editors or translators. Automatically prefaced with the word "with".
• date: Date of publication. For books, only write the year. For periodicals, either use "Month YYYY" when the day is unknown or use ISO 8601 YYYY-MM-DD format for a complete date, e.g. 2024-04-28.
• publisher: Name of the publisher.
• language: Language of the publication (if not in English). Automatically prefaced with the word "in".
• isbn: International Standard Book Number. Hit-or-miss whether it works listing multiples, so make sure to preview and test it if you do. Automatically links to Special:BookSources.
• issn: International Standard Serial Number. Isn't linked, as there is no Special page to support it.
• speaker: A quote speaker's name, such as an interview subject or member of a panel.
