Template:Published
This template scans the text supplied at the Published line for any four-digit year, and converts it into a link to "category:YYYY works". The page is simultaneously included in that category. Therefore, works that have a publication date are categorized accordingly.
The template accepts up to six parameters, but only the odd-numbered parameters are scanned for year numbers. Even-numbered parameters are displayed as plain text. Sometimes, there are year numbers in the text that should not be converted into a category link. For these cases, break the text in smaller parts, so that these numbers will fall in a even-numbered parameter.
There are two optional parameters, "no=" for sequential number, and "pg=" for page number(s) in the publication. So a template call like
- {{Published|1501|in ''[[Harmonice Musices Odhecaton (Ottaviano Petrucci)|Harmonice Musices Odhecaton]]''|no=A18|pg=6}} will yield:
- Published: 1501 in Harmonice Musices Odhecaton, no. A18, p. 6.
Syntax:
- {{Published|<text (scanned)>|<text (displayed as-is)>|<text (scanned)>|<text (displayed as-is)>|<text (scanned)>|<text (displayed as-is)>}}
