:Template:Citation Style documentation/pages

  • page: The number of a single page in the source that supports the content. Use either {{para|page}} or {{para|pages}}, but not both. Displays preceded by {{#if:{{{journal|}}}|colon ({{code|:}})|{{code|p.}} unless {{para|no-pp|yes}}{{#if: {{{work|}}}| or work (or an alias) is defined}}}}. If hyphenated, use {{tl|hyphen}} to indicate this is intentional (e.g. {{para|page|3{{hyphen}}12}}), otherwise several editors and semi-automated tools will assume this was a misuse of the parameter to indicate a page range and will convert {{para|page|3-12}} to {{para|pages|3{{ndash}}12}}. Alias: p.
  • OR: pages: A range of pages in the source that supports the content{{#if:{{{journal|}}}| or the range of pages of the article as a whole, or both (using the following notation: article-page-range [content-supporting-pages], for example: pp. 4–10 [5, 7])|}}. Use either {{para|page}} or {{para|pages}}, but not both. Separate using an en dash (–); separate non-sequential pages with a comma (,); do not use to indicate the total number of pages in the source. Displays preceded by {{#if:{{{journal|}}}|colon ({{code|:}})|{{code|pp.}} unless {{para|no-pp|yes}}{{#if: {{{work|}}}| or work (or an alias) is defined}}}}.
    Hyphens are automatically converted to en dashes; if hyphens are appropriate because individual page numbers contain hyphens, for example: pp. 3-1–3-15, use double parentheses to tell the template to display the value of {{para|pages}} without processing it, and use {{tl|hyphen}} to indicate to editors that a hyphen is really intended: {{para|pages|((3{{hyphen}}1{{ndash}}3{{hyphen}}15))}}. Alternatively, use {{para|at}}, like this: {{para|at|pp. 3-1–3-15}}. Alias: pp.{{#if:{{{journal|}}}||
  • no-pp: Set to yes, y, or true to suppress the {{code|p.}} or {{code|pp.}} notations where this is inappropriate; for example, where {{para|page|Front cover}} or {{para|pages|passim}}.}}
  • OR: at: For sources where a page number is inappropriate or insufficient. Overridden by {{para|page}} or {{para|pages}}. Use only one of {{para|page}}, {{para|pages}}, or {{para|at}}.
    Examples: page (p.) or pages (pp.); section (sec.), column (col.), paragraph (para.); track; hours, minutes and seconds; act, scene, canto, book, part, folio, stanza, back cover, liner notes, indicia, colophon, dust jacket, verse.
