Template:Stein & Rubino 2008/doc

This is a documentation subpage for Template:Stein & Rubino 2008.
It may contain usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page.

Usage

This template is for creating a properly-formatted reference citation to Victor Stein & Paul Rubino's The Billiard Encyclopedia, 3rd ed., fairly frequently cited in cue sports articles (see WikiProject Cue sports for more information). It is almost always used between <ref name="Stein & Rubino 2008"> and </ref>.

If you need to cite the same source in the same article more than once, use <ref name="Stein & Rubino 2008" /> for the subsequent citations.

This template cannot be subst'd, unless this is done before it is put inside <ref...></ref> (due to a bug in the <ref> and <references /> system). There is no reason to subst it anyway, and doing so will produce messy results.

Page numbering

See {{rp}} if a page number is needed in subsequent citations using the <ref name="Stein & Rubino 2008" /> notation.

Otherwise, simply add the page number(s) as a parameter, singular or plural:

|page=247

|pages=247–251

("p." or "pp." will be inserted automatically).

Example:

Article text.<ref name="Stein & Rubino 2008">{{Stein & Rubino 2008|pages=23–24}}</ref>
