To indicate a template that should NOT be used in citation templates: {{COinS safe|n}}

To add extra info after the standard message: |addtext=

Examples

Code	Result
{{COinS safe}}
{{COinS safe|n}}
{{COinS safe|addtext=Here is the extra info.}}
{{COinS safe|n|addtext=Here is the extra info.}}

Explain COinS issues

Citation templates such as Citation Style 1 and generate COinS metadata. If a template is used in a citation template field, then it may inject HTML into the metadata.

Compare the rendered HTML for {{cite book}} with |author= using no template and using {{smallcaps}}.

Markup Renders as {{cite book |author=Sam Drucker |title=Title}} Sam Drucker. Title. '"`UNIQ--templatestyles-00000007-QINU`"'<cite id="CITEREFSam_Drucker" class="citation book cs1">Sam Drucker.

The author metadata is in the rft.aulast field. In this case, it is percent-encoded and is rendered as <span class="smallcaps" style="font-variant:small-caps;">Sam Drucker</span>

Reference management software will interpret the entire span as the author name.

NOEDITSECTION

Usage

settings

code	la
style: italic

The language template {{lang-la}} identifies Latin text. The term or phrase is the only mandatory parameter. The text is formatted according to recommendations in Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Text formatting § Foreign terms; italics for languages that use the Latin alphabet, normal for others.

The template should generally be placed after the English translation of the foreign term or phrase.

The parameter |links=no prevents the language name from being linked.

The parameter |translit= allows for a romanization to be identified. The templates that have this parameter are listed here. (This parameter is not supported by lang-x templates for languages that are already written in Latin script.)

The parameter |lit= enables a literal translation (in English) to be given. It is being rolled out to these templates and so may be available for {{lang-la}}.

Parameters

{{#lst:Template:Lang-x/doc/parameters|lang_xx_parameters}}

Examples

The following examples show translations from German.

• Weimar is located in the federal state of Thuringia ({{Lang-de|Thüringen}}).
