Template:IPMag/doc

Purpose
This template is for creating a properly-formatted reference citation to articles in InsidePool Magazine, frequently cited in cue sports articles (see WikiProject Cue sports for more information). It is almost always used inside  (with the date). The benefit of the template is that it automatically provides the,  ,  , and   parameters of Cite journal for you.


 * use IPSite for that.

Usage
The template uses the same (relevant) parameter names as Cite journal. If the cited item is a regular feature (such as a mini-column), use the feature's name as the title, e.g. . If the feature has no by-line, simply omit the first and last parameters.

If you need to cite the same source in the same article more than once, use  for the subsequent citations. See rp if a page number is needed in subsequent citations.

If only one page or page range needs to be cited in this source in the article, simply add the page number(s) with the page or pages parameter, as appropriate ( "p." or "pp.").

The url parameter is for a URL  to an online copy of the cited article/issue, not to the magazine's homepage nor to a Wikipedia article about the magazine.

This template cannot be subst'd, unless this is done before it is put inside  (due to a bug in the ref and s system). There is no particular reason to subst it anyway.
