This template uses Lua: |
The shortened footnote template {{sfn}} creates a short author–date citation in a footnote, with a one-directional link to the first matching citation template on the same page. It will combine identical footnotes automatically.
The Harv family of templates are used for creating short-cites (or "short citations"), typically used as in-line citations, that link to the full citation (with the full bibliographic details) for a source. This enables a source to be cited multiple times, with each short-cite having an in-source specification (such as a page number) and any other details or comments pertinent to that specific instance. This functionality eliminates the need for replicating notes with "named-refs" (the "<ref name= ...>" construct).
The sfn—"shortened footnote"—templates create notes (footnotes) containing harv templates.
Note that the use (or even non-use) of these templates is an element of citation "style", and adding or removing them in articles with an established style should be consistent with that style. See WP:CITEVAR.
Usage
[தொகு]Default mode
[தொகு]In its default mode sfn generates an "author-date" style short-cite from the following parameters:
{{ sfn | <last1*> | <last2> | <last3> | <last4> | <year*> | p= <page> | loc= <location> }}
with
- - <last1>–<last4> – positional parameters; names of one to four authors; <last1> required
- - <year> – required; four-digit year; may have a lowercase disambiguation letter
- -
|p=
– specific page referenced in the source - -
|pp=
– comma separated list of individual pages and / or range(s) of pages referenced in the source - -
|loc=
– in-source location when|p=
and|pp=
are inappropriate; may be used to supplement|p=
and|pp=
; information such as a section or figure number.
sfn follows the standard convention that a list of four author names is reduced to the name of the first author followed by "et al." (Latin for "and others"). Where two or more short-cites have the same author(s) and year, but refer to different citations, a lowercase letter can be appended to <year> to disambiguate them. (E.g.: {{ sfn | Smith | 2000a}}
; {{ sfn | Smith | 2000b}}
).
To link to a full citation, the author(s) and year must match those used in the cite or citation template. The {{citation}} template automatically generates the proper "author-date" anchor. The {{cite xxx}} family of templates do not do this unless |ref=harv
is added.
This template can be placed in the text if so desired, but most commonly is placed inside a note (that is, between <ref>...</ref>
tags). Additional information, comments, and even other short-cites can be placed in the same note.
Alternate mode
[தொகு]While sfn requires an initial string of text, there is no requirement that it be a "proper" name. This permits some useful alternatives in the following form:
{{ sfn | <identifying text*> | <year*> | p= <page> | loc= <location> }}
Example: newspapers
[தொகு]When citing newspaper articles the name of the newspaper is often considered more important than the actual authors (which often are not identified), and it is also conventional bibliographic practice that newspaper articles are listed chronologically under the name of the newspaper. Also, for daily or weekly publications a more precise date is usually required. In such cases a valid short-cite might be:
This is generated with the following template:
{{harvnb|''Los Angeles Times'', July 4,|2019}}
.
The anchor for the link is given to the {{citation}} or the {{cite xxx}}
template using a {{harvid}} template in a |ref=
parameter. In this case that would look like:
|ref=
{{harvid|''Los Angeles Times'', July 4,|2019}}
The harvid template should be given exactly the same identifying text and year as used in the sfn template.
Example: multi-volume works
[தொகு]The Assessment Reviews of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) consist of multiple reports with many independently authored (and therefore separately cited) chapters. In such cases, where "Smith et al. 2014" could refer to either chapter 11 ("Human Health") in the report of Working Group II in the fifth review, or to chapter 11 {"Agriculture") in the report of Working Group III in the fifth review, the "author-date" form is inadequate; an indexed form of short-cite, such as
- IPCC AR5 WG2 Ch11 2014, ப. 741, FAQ 11.1.
is more meaningful, and handier to use and keep track of. This is generated with:
{{harvnb|IPCC AR5 WG2 Ch11|2014|p= 741|loc= FAQ 11.1}}
.
For both {citation} and {cite} templates the anchor is specified with:
|ref=
{{harvid|IPCC AR5 WG2 Ch11|2014}}
Other examples
[தொகு]Other examples of alternative ways to use Harv templates can be seen at Global Warming.
Placing the template in the body of the article
[தொகு]{{sfn | last name(s) of author(s) | year | p=page number
orpp=page range
orloc=other location}}
Last names of editors can be used, if no authors are given, as author names are given precedence.
If more than four authors, truncate the list to the first four.
In a section for citations, usually under the heading Notes:
{{reflist}}
In the references section (or in an earlier footnote):
{{cite book
orcite journal
, etc |ref=harv
| ... other appropriate parameters ...}}
or
{{citation |
... other appropriate parameters ...}}
(|ref=harv
is not required when using{{Citation}}
).
Parameters
[தொகு]Up to four authors can be given as parameters. (If there are more than four authors only the first four should be listed. See § Large numbers of authors, below.) The last required parameter is the year of publication.
(All these examples have links which operate. Click on highlighted text.)

The optional parameters |p=
, |pp=
and |loc=
can be used to indicate the location in the source. All of the Harvard citation templates use the same parameters to indicate page numbers or other locations in the text. For single pages, use |p=
; and for multiple pages (such as ranges), use |pp=
. Use of |p=
for multiple pages or |pp=
for single pages can cause cite errors.

The optional parameter |postscript=
or |ps=
can be used to change the text which appears at the end of the note in the reference list. (See § Additional comments or quotes, below.) The default is a period (full stop); to remove this use {{sfn|Smith|2005|p=25|ps=none}}. (See § No closing period, below.) The postscript is only effective the first time {{sfn}}
is used for a particular author, year and location.
The optional parameter |ref=
is used to specify the reference value that links the short citation to the full citation. This parameter is usually not necessary and it is more common to use {{sfnRef}}
or {{harvid}}
in the reference section. If you specify |ref=none
no hyperlink is created. Note that, if one does not want the link, it is always possible to simply not use the template. (Not available in {{sfn}}
and similar templates.)

[தொகு]The parameters |page=
|pages=

exist as aliases for |p=
|pp=

Author–date citation templates
[தொகு]There are several templates used to create in-text citations; they differ in the use and placement of parenthesis, in the separator before the page or location and in whether a terminal full stop (period) is present:

No closing period: |ps=none
[தொகு]Using |ps=none
in {{sfn}}
removes the final period. Compare the two examples. Suppressing the default period (full stop) ensures consistency with Citation style 2, as produced by {{Citation}}
, which does not use a trailing period (full stop) in notes. The postscript is only effective the first time {{sfn}}
is used for a particular author, year and location. |ps=
will also suppress terminal punctuation. Follow-on editors who encounter 'empty' parameters can't know if a previous editor intended to leave that parameter blank. Using the keyword none is a positive indication of the previous editor's intent.

Possible issues
[தொகு]Wikilink to citation does not work
[தொகு]If an article is using this template, and nothing happens when you click on the highlighted wikilink from a Harvard style citation to a full citation at the bottom of the page, there are several possible solutions. If:
- The correct citation does not appear at the bottom of the article. Solution: Find the source (it may be copied from an article on a similar subject), and check that it verifies the text. If the source can't be found, tag the citation with
{{citation not found}}
. - The correct citation appears at the bottom of the article, and
- The Harvard citation uses a template (such as
{{sfn}}
or{{harv}}
):- The citation uses a template from the list at Citation Style 1:
- The name is spelled or capitalized differently here than the citation. Solution: check the source for the correct spelling.
- The year is different here than the citation. Solution: check the source for the correct year.
- The citation template requires
|ref=harv
(not needed for{{citation}}
, but is needed for most other Citation Style 1 templates). Solution: Add|ref=harv
. - The template has a
|date=
field and no|year=
field, but the format of the|date=
field is unusual. Solution: Try to fix the date. If the link still does not work, add|year=
to the citation template. (It's okay if it has both.) - The citation does not have an author's, or an editor's, last name (authors take precedence over editors). Solution: check that
|ref={{harvid}}
is set correctly (see below).
- The citation uses a Citation Style Vancouver template. Solution: check that
|harvid=
is set correctly (see below). - The citation uses a template that does not support
|ref=
(See Wikipedia:Citation templates and reference anchors). Solution: An anchor can be created using{{wikicite|id={{harvid|args}}|reference={{citation}}}}
. - The citation does not use a template:
- It has no wikicode to create an anchor. Solution: If
{{cite *}}
citation templates are used liberally throughout the article, then reformat the citation with the appropriate{{cite *}}
template and set the|ref=
appropriately. Otherwise consult with local editors on the talk page about how to proceed. Either add{{cite *}}
templates and{{harv}}
templates, or remove all templates, depending on what local editors prefer. A few articles use{{wikicite}}
to create an anchor as an alternative to standard templates. - Uses a
<cite>...</cite>
span to create an anchor. Solution: remove the cite span (these are deprecated) and proceed as with the previous. - Uses
{{wikicite}}
. Solution: Check that|id={{harvid}}
matches.
- It has no wikicode to create an anchor. Solution: If
- The citation uses a template from the list at Citation Style 1:
- If the Harvard citation uses a handwritten wikilink, such as
[[#Reference-Smith2006|Smith (2006)]]
- The citation uses a citation template which supports
|ref=
(See Wikipedia:Citation templates and reference anchors). Solution: Check that|ref=
is set to a matching id. - Otherwise, check that the reference has
{{wikicite|ref=id|reference=citation}}
with a matching id.
- The citation uses a citation template which supports
- The Harvard citation uses a template (such as
Templates that have broken wikilinks using these templates are added to the category Category:All articles with broken links to citations.
More than one work in a year
[தொகு]Where there is a need to cite more than one work by the same author published in the same year, the standard way to disambiguate such works is to add a letter suffix after the year element of the {{sfn}}
template (e.g. {{sfn|Smith|2006a}}
and {{sfn|Smith|2006b}}
).
Templates that use Module:Citation/CS1
[தொகு]When {{sfn}}
is used with {{citation}}
or Citation Style 1 templates, a year-suffix letter may be added to |date=
for all accepted date formats except year initial numeric (YYYY-MM-DD). It is not necessary to include both |year=
and |date=
. If both are included, |year=
is used for the CITEREF
anchor to be compliant with legacy citations.
|date=2013a
: simple year only dates|date=Jan 2013b
or|date=Winter 2013b
: month or season and year dates|date=9 November 2013b

: full dates|date=June–July 2013c
or|date=Winter–Spring 2013c
: month or season ranges and year dates|date=c. 2013d
: circa year dates|date=2024–2025f
or|date=Summer 2024–25f
: year ranges|date=n.d.e
: no date (n.d.): not supported, the template must use|date=2013x-11-09

More than one author with the same last name
[தொகு]The above solution to add a letter suffix after the year element also works for multiple authors with the same last name. For example, both Richard Bushman and Claudia Lauper Bushman published books in 2006. To differentiate between the two books, the first one is given the year "2006a" and the second one "2006b".
Large numbers of authors
[தொகு]Only the first four authors are required by the template. Listing more is not supported. It is also possible to use the |ref={{harvid}}
in the citation template, which allows a more concise citation in the article text.

No author name in citation template
[தொகு]Some sources do not have a single author with a last name, such as a magazine article or a report from a government institution. There is no consensus (in Wikipedia or among citation styles) about how to format author–date citations to works that do not have a specific author. Several choices are:
- For a newspaper or periodical you may use the name of the paper and the date.
- For a publication by an institution, use either:
- The initials of the institution
- The name of the institution
- Alternatively, some style guides recommend using the title of the article.
- Other style guides recommend using "Anonymous" or "Anon."
An article should adopt one of these styles consistently. Using |ref={{harvid}}
in the citation template can handle these cases.

Citation has |date=
and no |year=
[தொகு]Either the |year=
or |date=
of a citation template can be matched—the template logic can extract the year from a full date. If the date parameter is not a full date, then the extraction will fail. If the link does not seem to work, it also possible to set both |date=
and |year=
parameters. The template will display the date and use the year for the anchor. If only the year is known the |year=
field must be used in the citation for the link to work correctly (i.e. |date=2005
may not work correctly). These two examples show a year being successfully extracted from full date.

Citation template does not support |ref=harv
[தொகு]The வார்ப்புரு:Vcite family of templates use parameter |ref=harvid
to create an anchor for the Harvard citation templates. This must be set to a concatenation of the parameters passed to the Harvard citation template.

In a few very rare cases, it may be impossible for the citation templates to create an anchor. Either (1) the citation is formatted with a template that does not support the |ref=
parameter or (2) the source can't be described using our citation templates at all. In these cases, it is possible to use {{wikicite}}
to make the anchor. (As of November 2010, there are only approximately 100 articles that require this technique.) It is also possible that (3) local editors would prefer not to use citation templates. In this case, it is important to discuss what the local editors would like to do about the bad links. It is always possible to simply remove {{harv}}
or {{sfn}}
.

It is also possible to use <cite>
to achieve the same effect, but this may not be compatible with HTML 5.
Citation has multiple authors and no date
[தொகு]The templates assume that the last field is the year. Where there are multiple authors and no year the template will form a correct link but will display the last author as if it were a year. To force the displayed text to show all authors as name, the following work around may be used:

Recommended style
[தொகு]The recommended Harvard referencing style potentially uses all four templates. Each automatically generates a hypertext link based on the name(s) and date. Here is an example
குறியீடு | காட்டப்படுவது |
---|---|
Some works on gravitation are so massive they warp spacetime themselves {{Harv|Misner|Thorne|Wheeler|1973}}; yet {{Harvtxt|Einstein|1915}} presented essential equations with notable brevity. The essential ingredients are the curvature tensor and the stress–energy tensor ({{Harvnb|Einstein|1915|p=844}}; {{Harvnb|Misner|Thorne|Wheeler|1973|p=41}}). ==References== *{{Citation | last=Misner | first=Charles W. | last2=Thorne | first2=Kip S. | first3=John Archibald | last3=Wheeler | title=Gravitation | publisher=W. H. Freeman | location = San Francisco | date = September 1973 | isbn = 0-7167-0344-0 }} *{{Citation | last =Einstein | first =Albert | title =Die Feldgleichungen der Gravitation (The Field Equations of Gravitation) | journal =Königlich Preussische Akademie der Wissenschaften | pages =844–847 | year =1915 }} |
Some works on gravitation are so massive they warp spacetime themselves (Misner, Thorne & Wheeler 1973); yet (Einstein 1915) presented essential equations with notable brevity. The two ingredients are the curvature tensor and the stress–energy tensor (Einstein 1915, ப. 844; Misner, Thorne & Wheeler 1973, ப. 41).

In short:
- For a single work with no author in the text (the most common case), use
{{Harv}}
. - For a single work with the author named in the text, use
{{Harvtxt}}
. - For multiple works at the same point, use explicit parentheses and
{{Harvnb}}
separated by semicolons. - For anything more complicated use
{{Harvs}}
.
Implementation notes
[தொகு]These templates use two elements: a wikilink in the body of the article, and an anchor in the reference section of the article. Clicking on the wikilink repositions the page at the anchor.
The most common citation templates are Citation Style 1 or Citation Style 2. If |ref=harv
is set, then Module:Citation/CS1 and {{Citation/core}}
create an anchor <a name="CITEREF">
followed by the concatenation of the following parameters:
- last or last1 or surname or surname1 or author or author1 or authors,
- last2 or surname2 or author2,
- last3 or surname3 or author3,
- last4 or surname4 or author4,
- editor-last or editor-surname or editor1-last or editor1-surname or editor or editors,
- editor2-last or editor2-surname,
- editor3-last or editor3-surname,
- editor4-last or editor4-surname,
- year.
Template {{Citation}}
sets |ref=harv
as the default.
This covers the most common templates. Information about all the templates is available at Wikipedia:Citation templates and reference anchors.
Use of the date parameter in place of the year parameter in citation templates is preferred when full dates are known.
The Harvard citation templates create a wikilink to the anchor. For example {{Harv|Smith|2006|p=25}}
produces the link #CITEREFSmith2006
and {{Citation|last=Smith|first=John|date=27 January 2006|title=My Life}}
produces the anchor CITEREFSmith2006
.
Using CITEREF directly
[தொகு]A few articles create a custom ID using CITEREF
, either in place of the Harvard citation template (e.g. [[#CITEREFSmith2006|(2006)]]
) or as a value for |ref=
in the citation template.
வார்ப்புரு:Refname rules
Examples:
Where cite_name is a name such as the publisher.
Template {{sfn}}
creates a named footnote, so that identical footnotes are combined automatically. The footnote name begins with FOOTNOTE
followed by a concatenation of the arguments to {{sfn}}
. E.g.: this template call {{sfn|Smith|2006|p=26}}
should have exactly the same functionality as <ref name="FOOTNOTESmith200626">{{Harvnb}}</ref>
which, in turn, has the same functionality as <ref name="FOOTNOTESmith200626">[[#CITEREFSmith2006|Smith (2006)]], p. 26</ref>
.
The ref name becomes more complicated when the page (p) parameter includes a URL, e.g. {{sfn|Joyce|1903|p=[https://archive.org/details/aconcisehistory00joycgoog/page/n226 213]}}
, which, once defined, can be called by <ref name="FOOTNOTEJoyce1903[httpsarchiveorgdetailsaconcisehistory00joycgoogpagen226 213]" />
. The "p=" and the characters |,:,.,/,?,=; are therefore stripped out of the URL.
The call to {{harvnb}}
has been subst'ed for quicker load times.
TemplateData
