"(({3))}". Lighthouses of Australia Inc.
Usage
[edit]This template creates a ((cite web)) citation to individual pages at Lighthouses of Australia Inc., a useful reference site on the Lighthouses of Australia.
Parameters
[edit]- There are three mandatory unnamed parameters:
- the postal abbreviation of the state name, e.g. TAS or NT, capitalized
- the lighthouse name, from the url
- title
For example, the Cape Wickham Lighthouse page url is http://www.lighthouses.org.au/lights/TAS/Cape%20Wickham/Cape%20Wickham.htm. The parameters are
TASCape%20WickhamCape Wickham LighthouseorThe Cape Wickham Lighthouse on King Islandas the author see fits
The full citation is
((cite loa |TAS |Cape%20Wickham |Cape Wickham Lighthouse)) resulting in:
"Cape Wickham Lighthouse". Lighthouses of Tasmania. Lighthouses of Australia Inc.
- In special cases with non-standard url, use the url3 field to indicate the last part of the url. For example, the Point Perpendicular Lighthouse page is
http://www.lighthouses.org.au/lights/NSW/Point%20Perpendicular/Pt%20Perpendicular.htm. The last part of the url is notPoint%20PerpendicularbutPt%20Perpendicular. So a full citation will be
((cite loa |NSW |Point%20Perpendicular |Point Perpendicular Lighthouse |url3=Pt%20Perpendicular)) resulting in:
"Point Perpendicular Lighthouse". Lighthouses of New South Wales. Lighthouses of Australia Inc.
- In addition, date and access date can be specified using the date and access-date fields. The date of writing can be found on the lower left corner of each page, "Page last updated:".
- Error checking is done only on the state, thus using
((cite loa |SA |Cape%20Wickham |Cape Wickham Lighthouse))will result in an error:
/Cape%20Wickham /Cape%20Wickham.htm "Cape Wickham Lighthouse". Lighthouses of South Australia. Lighthouses of Australia Inc. ((cite web)): Check |url= value (help)
However, using a non-existing page results in a link to a non-existing page, thus using ((cite loa|TAS|Cape%20Forrestier|Cape Forrestier Lighthouse)) results in:
"Cape Forrestier Lighthouse". Lighthouses of Tasmania. Lighthouses of Australia Inc.
