Abstract

You know the basics about using citation templates. Do you know how to use the extended set of parameters for the Citation Style 1 templates?

• Establishing anchors for use with the template suite supporting shortened footnotes and parenthetical referencing
• Using the OCLC parameter to link to nearby libraries through Worldcat, and what to do when there is more than one OCLC
• What is the DOI and when should you use it
• How to proactively add archive parameters but still keep the original source as the primary URL

What lies beyond citation templates?

• Using refill to expand bare URLs
• Citations in Wikidata: If the French can do it, why can’t the English (speakers) do it?
