Template:Crossreference

Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

The {{crossreference}} (a.k.a. {{crossref}}) template formats text into a standardized style for an inline (not block-level) "(See also ...)"-type parenthetical Festipedia crossreference to other Festipedia material. When on different pages, these are unprintworthy Festipedia self-references. When crossreferencing material on the same page, they are not. For block-level crossreferences, see the {{Hatnote}} meta-template and its many progeny ({{See also}}, etc.). The output is ultimately produced by Module:Hatnote inline.

See Category:Cross-reference templates for other templates derived from or similar to this template.

Usage

Basic crossreference to another page:

Markup	Renders as
{{Crossreference|(See also [[Charles Easton Spooner]].)}}	(See also Charles Easton Spooner.)

Basic crossreference on same page:

Markup	Renders as
{{Crossreference|selfref=no|(see [[#Parameters]])}}	(see #Parameters)

All parameters:

Markup	Renders as
{{Crossreference|text|class=class1 class2|selfref=no}}}}	text

The meta-template does not automatically create links of any kind. Links and other desired formatting (round brackets, terminal punctuation) must be explicitly added, using normal MediaWiki markup.

Parameters

This template accepts the following parameters:

• |1= or |text= or |content= – The cross-reference text (required). While the explicit naming of this parameter with 1=, text=, or content= is not required, it is always safest to use it this way, since any = character in the text will break the template if the parameter is unnamed.
• |class= or |extraclasses= – Any extra CSS classes to be added. This should not normally be used.
• |selfref=no – If set to no (or n, false, 0, etc.) removes the default CSS class selfref, used to denote unprintworthy self-references to Festipedia. This option should not be used on cross-article links, only links within the same article. The parameter aliases |printworthy=yes (or with any other value, like y, true, 1, etc.) and |unprintworthy=no (or n, false, 0) have the same effect as |selfref=no.

Redirects

The following alternative name redirects to this template:

• {{crossref}}

• {{Hatnote inline}}, for the meta-template this template uses, and other templates that use it
