 | This is a documentation subpage for Template:Stein & Rubino 2008. It may contain usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page. |
Usage edit
This template is for creating a properly-formatted reference citation to Victor Stein & Paul Rubino's The Billiard Encyclopedia, 3rd ed., fairly frequently cited in cue sports articles (see WikiProject Cue sports for more information). It is almost always used between <ref name="Stein & Rubino 2008"> and </ref>.
If you need to cite the same source in the same article more than once, use <ref name="Stein & Rubino 2008" /> for the subsequent citations.
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 reason to subst it anyway, and doing so will produce messy results.
Page numbering edit
See {{rp}} if a page number is needed in subsequent citations using the <ref name="Stein & Rubino 2008" /> notation.
Otherwise, simply add the page number(s) as a parameter, singular or plural:
|page=247
|pages=247–251
("p." or "pp." will be inserted automatically).
Example:
Article text.<ref name="Stein & Rubino 2008">{{Stein & Rubino 2008|pages=23–24}}</ref>
Produces:
