Template:Comics

Documentation

This template creates a link to a comic for inline citations. It supports citing a single issue, a range of issues, or multiple different comics at once.

Single Issue Citation

This is the basic usage for citing a single comic book issue.

• {{comics|starbuck|1}} will produce: ^{(Comics: Battlestar Galactica: Starbuck #1)}
• {{comics|origins|5}} will produce: ^{(Comics: Battlestar Galactica: Origins #5)}

You can also link to just the main series page by omitting the issue number:

• {{comics|vol3}} will produce: ^{(Comics: Classic Battlestar Galactica Vol. 3)}

Issue Range Citation

To cite a range of issues from the same comic series, use three unnamed parameters in the format {{comics|series|start_issue|end_issue}}. This format links the series title and both the start and end issue numbers.

• {{comics|starbuck|1|4}} will produce: ^{(Comics: Battlestar Galactica: Starbuck #1 — 4)}

Multiple Comic Citation

To cite issues from different comic series in one reference, use numbered parameters like comic1, issue1, comic2, issue2, etc. This format now adds a category for each comic cited.

• {{comics|comic1=starbuck|issue1=1|comic2=origins|issue2=5}} will produce: ^{(Comics: Battlestar Galactica: Starbuck #1, Battlestar Galactica: Origins #5)}

Other Parameters

• nolink=y: Prints the comic title without linking. Note: This currently only works for single issue citations using the first and second unnamed parameters.
  • {{comics|vol3|nolink=y}} will produce: Classic Battlestar Galactica Vol. 3
  • template=y: Works in templates like infoboxes.
    • {{comics|vol3|template=y|nolink=y}} will produce: Classic Battlestar Galactica Vol. 3

Classic Battlestar Galactica Vol. 3 |Classic Battlestar Galactica Vol. 3 #

• nocat=y: Prevents the template from adding a category to the page.
  • {{comics|vol3|nocat=y}} will produce: ^{(Comics: Classic Battlestar Galactica Vol. 3)}
