Template:Cite Grove Jazz/doc

This is a documentation subpage for Template:Cite Grove Jazz.
It may contain usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page.

This template is rated as beta, and is ready for widespread use. It is still new and should be used with some caution to ensure the results are as expected.

This template is a Citation Style 1 wrapper template based on {{Cite encyclopedia}}. For centralised Citation Style 1 discussions, see Help talk:Citation Style 1.

This template provides a quick, standard method of citing The New Grove Dictionary of Jazz (2002) for music-related articles in Wikipedia.

Usage

The syntax with typical parameters is as follows:

{{cite Grove Jazz
  |title = Lodovico Zacconi
  |last = Singer
  |first = Gerhard
  |volume = xx
  |pages = 611–612
}}

Singer, Gerhard (2002). "Lodovico Zacconi". In Kernfeld, Barry (ed.). The New Grove Dictionary of Jazz. Vol. xx. London: Macmillan. pp. 611–612.

All parameters are strictly speaking optional, in which case a general citation is generated:

{{cite Grove Jazz}}

Kernfeld, Barry, ed. (2002). The New Grove Dictionary of Jazz. London: Macmillan. {{cite encyclopedia}}: Missing or empty |title= (help)

However, it is strongly encouraged to include at least |title=, |last=, |first=, |volume=, and |pages=. This template is a wrapper around {{cite encyclopedia}} and supports all the same functionality and parameters (including |mode=cs2).

Note that this template, while it duplicates the functionality of {{NewGroveJazz2002}}, is of a different "family" than the templates listed below. Their purpose is similar, but their approach and functionality is somewhat different. Until this template becomes more mature, you are encouraged to use one of the below templates when editing in article space.
