Template:Citation Style documentation/pages

Use only one of <syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" inline style="display: none;" />|page=, <syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" inline style="display: none;" />|pages=, or <syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" inline style="display: none;" />|at=.

• page: The number of a single page in the source that supports the content. Displays preceded by <syntaxhighlight lang="text" class="" style="" inline="1">p.</syntaxhighlight> unless <syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" inline style="display: none;" />|no-pp=yes. If hyphenated, use {{hyphen}} to indicate this is intentional (e.g. <syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" inline style="display: none;" />|page=3{{hyphen}}12), otherwise several editors and semi-automated tools will assume this was a misuse of the parameter to indicate a page range and will convert <syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" inline style="display: none;" />|page=3-12 to <syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" inline style="display: none;" />|pages=3{{ndash}}12. Alias: p.
• OR: pages: A range of pages in the source that supports the content. Separate using an en dash (–); separate non-sequential pages with a comma (,); do not use to indicate the total number of pages in the source. Displays preceded by <syntaxhighlight lang="text" class="" style="" inline="1">pp.</syntaxhighlight> unless <syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" inline style="display: none;" />|no-pp=yes.
  Hyphens are automatically converted to en dashes; if hyphens are appropriate because individual page numbers contain hyphens, for example: pp. 3-1–3-15, use double parentheses to tell the template to display the value of <syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" inline style="display: none;" />|pages= without processing it, and use {{hyphen}} to indicate to editors that a hyphen is really intended: <syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" inline style="display: none;" />|pages=((3{{hyphen}}1{{ndash}}3{{hyphen}}15)). Alternatively, use <syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" inline style="display: none;" />|at=, like this: <syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" inline style="display: none;" />|at=pp. 3-1–3-15. Alias: pp.
  • no-pp: Set to yes, y, or true to suppress the <syntaxhighlight lang="text" class="" style="" inline="1">p.</syntaxhighlight> or <syntaxhighlight lang="text" class="" style="" inline="1">pp.</syntaxhighlight> notations where this is inappropriate; for example, where <syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" inline style="display: none;" />|page=Front cover or <syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" inline style="display: none;" />|pages=passim.
• OR: at: For sources where a page number is not available (such as in digital books), inappropriate or insufficient. This parameter accepts any text, but you are normally encouraged to use one out of section (sec.), column (col.), paragraph (para.); track; act, scene, canto, book, part, folio, stanza, back cover, liner notes, indicia, colophon, dust jacket, verse. For digital books that do not have pages, use the <syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" inline style="display: none;" />|at= parameter to provide information that would facilitate finding the referenced material in a digital format. For print books, for page (p.) or pages (pp.) ideally use <syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" inline style="display: none;" />|page= or <syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" inline style="display: none;" />|pages= possibly in conjunction with <syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" inline style="display: none;" />|no-pp=yes instead. For hours, minutes and seconds ideally use <syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" inline style="display: none;" />|minutes= or <syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" inline style="display: none;" />|time= instead.
• For <syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" inline style="display: none;" />|quote-page= and <syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" inline style="display: none;" />|quote-pages= used in conjunction with <syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" inline style="display: none;" />|quote=, see here.
