Documentation

This template is designed for a text page, so that the a link to the text can appear on the author's "Lyricist" page, using template {{AuthorTextsList}}. Template Author may also be used on a work page, below the text.

Syntax

{{Author|<Author>|<First text line>|yr=<year>|page=<text or work>|an2=<aname2>|an3=<aname3>|pub=<pubname>}}

Parameters

  1. Author's name, exactly as it appears on the Author-Lyricist page.
  2. First line of text, not necessarily the page title. This text will appear on the Author-Lyricist's page under Texts by (Author).
  • yr= – Year the text was published.
  • page= – One of two words: (a) text if the template is on a text page, or (b) work if the template is on a work page. Defaults to text
  • an2= – (Optional) second author.
  • an3= – (Optional) third author.
  • pub= – (Optional) title of publication where text first appeared. If you want a link to appear, you must supply square brackets; please do not use either template {{NoCo}} or {{NoComp}} – the curly brackets will mess up the program.

Appearance of template

  • On a TEXT page, near the top (page=text or unspecified) – Author: Paul Gerhardt, 1664 in Praxis pietatis melica (Johann Crüger).
  • On a WORK page, below the text (page=work) – (Paul Gerhardt, 1664)
Categorization

Whenever this template is used, the page is included in category Texts by known authors
