Template:Book is a MediaWiki template
Examples
Example One
This is an example for using "Template:Book"
* {{Book
|title=MediaWiki
|author=Daniel J. Barrett
|year=2009
|url=https://openlibrary.org/works/OL17309374W/MediaWiki
}}
Result
- MediaWiki (2009) by Daniel J. Barrett (https://openlibrary.org/works/OL17309374W/MediaWiki)
Example Three
This template is "forgiving". It's possible to leave all of the parameters off:
* {{Book}}
Result:
- {{subst:Book}}
When the "title" parameter is omitted, some filler text (e.g. "some silly book") is inserted. When the "author" parameter is omitted, different filler text is inserted.
</noinclude>MediaWiki (2009) by Daniel J. Barrett (https://openlibrary.org/works/OL17309374W/MediaWiki)
Example Two
It's even possible to use this template on a single line of wikitext:
* {{Book|title=MediaWiki|author=Daniel J. Barrett}}
Result:
- MediaWiki (timeless) by Daniel J. Barrett (FIXME)
Example Three
This template is "forgiving". It's possible to leave all of the parameters off:
* {{Book}}
Result:
- {{subst:Book}}
When the "title" parameter is omitted, some filler text (e.g. "some silly book") is inserted. When the "author" parameter is omitted, different filler text is inserted.
</noinclude>MediaWiki (timeless) by Daniel J. Barrett (FIXME)
Leaving parameters out (as above) will just cause the resulting text to look a little weird. But it's a wiki; things often look weird.
