Template documentation | This template is a Citation Style 1 specific-source template based on {{Cite news}}. For centralised Citation Style 1 discussions, see Help talk:Citation Style 1. |
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 <ref name="IPMag ZYYYY-XX"></ref> (with the date). The benefit of the template is that it automatically provides the publisher, issn, location, and journal parameters of {{Cite journal}} for you.
This template is not for citations to the online InsidePoolMag.com website-only features such as the "Billiard Tour News" blog, podcasts, etc.; use {{IPSite}} for that.
Usage
{{IPMag
|title=
|date=
|volume=
|issue=
|pages=
|first=
|last=
|accessdate=
|url=
}}
The template uses the same (relevant) parameter names as {{Cite journal}}. The title parameter is required. If the cited item is a regular feature (such as a mini-column), use the feature's name as the title, e.g. title=Calendar. 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 <ref name="IPMag YYYY-XX" /> 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 (without "p." or "pp.").
The |url= parameter is only for a URL directly 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 <ref...></ref> (due to a bug in the <ref> and <references /> system). There is no particular reason to subst it anyway.
