This is a companion template to {{Sfn}}
; see there for a more general introduction. Unlike {{Sfn}}
, however, {{Sfnm}}
supports the inclusion of multiple sources in a single footnote.
Usage
[edit]Each of the several sources listed in the template is identified using a set of numbered (n) parameters where the first source is numbered 1
, the second 2
, etc. There is no set limit to the number of sources that may be listed in a single template though editors should be aware that readability suffers with an increase of the number of sources.
The following markup:
{{Sfnm|1a1=Smith|1a2=Jones|1a3=Johnson|1y=2005|1p=15|2a1=Jones|2a2=Johnson|2a3=Smith|2y=2004|2p=50}}
will produce the following footnote: [1]
- ^ Smith, Jones & Johnson 2005, p. 15; Jones, Johnson & Smith 2004, p. 50.
Parameters
[edit]The following parameters are used where n always begins at 1, increases by one for each successive source; n has no set limit.
|nam=
– source n author (required) – has the form:nam
wheren
is the source number,a
indicates that this is an author parameter, andm
identifies the mth author of source n →|1a1=
is first source author one,|5a4=
is fifth source author four; author numbers (m
) greater than4
are ignored;|ny=
– year – accepted formats are:YYYY
,n.d.
ornd
(no date),c. YYYY
,YYYY–YYYY
(endash separator); all dates may have a single lowercase letter disambiguator suffix; see sfn §More than one work in a year|np=
– in-source page cited|npp=
– in-source pages cited|nloc=
– in-source location when not pagination – appended to|np=
or|npp=
if present|nref=
– alternate reference identifier used to link source to its full citation; the special keywordnone
inhibits creation of a link from source to its long form reference|nps=
– source postscript – terminal character or text; defaults to none; the special keywordnone
(used by{{sfn}}
) is silently ignored|ps=
– postscript – template's final terminal character or text; defaults to period (.
); the special keywordnone
inhibits the postscript character; yields to|nps=
where n is the last source
When a source has a single author, use of positional parameters for author and year is supported; both |author
and |year
are required when there is more than one of these single-author sources listed in the template:
{{Sfnm|Smith|2005|1p=15|Jones|2004|2p=2}}
which will produce the following footnote: [1]
- ^ Smith 2005, p. 15; Jones 2004, p. 2.
