සැකිල්ල:citation/documentation

This template is used to form the level-two header of citations on citations pages. Please do not use it in entries (in the main namespace).

Parameters

It recognizes up to seven parameters, all optional: a language code, up to five unnamed (positional) parameters for entries, and "ct" for the context.

• |1= The language of the citation, represented by a language code. The parameter |lang= is a deprecated synonym for this parameter; please do not use. If this is used, all numbered parameters move down by one.
• |2= The entry to be linked. If empty or omitted, the entry is equal to the page name without the "Citations:" prefix.
• |3= A second entry to be linked.
• |4= A third entry to be linked.
• |5= A fourth entry to be linked.
• |6= A fifth entry to be linked.
• |ct= The context of a word, in case it is outside the main namespace. For example, "Harry Potter".

Categorization

• Using this template in a "Citations:" page result in categorizing it into a category of citations of the respective language (e.g., Category:English citations, Category:Portuguese citations).
• In addition, using this template in a "Citations:" linking to an entry which does not exist result in categorizing it into Category:English citations of undefined terms, Category:French citations of undefined terms, etc. according to the appropriate language.
