[edit] Usage

The options that the template offers may seem a bit complicated at first. Don't worry. Most of them are optional. If a book is you want to reference is Volume 1 or Volume 2 of something, then use the|Vol option. If it isn't, then leave|Vol off. Rinse, lather, and repeat.

[edit] Hyperlinks between citations & references

There are several ways to handle linking between citations in the text and references in the articles Reference section.

  • Link via Wikipedia link
  • Let the Harvard templates select the link ID.
  • Set the link ID yourself.

If the ID of an existing link is unknown, use Navigation popups to find it.

[edit] Reference to a book, one author

  • Surname (Required): The author's surname or last name. (This parameter may also be called Last).

      • Note: To omit the first name, include the parameter, but do not define it, e.g |First=|. See "Minimal reference" in Examples section below.
    • Author (optional): While the Surname (or Last) tag is mandatory for referencing purposes, use of the Author parameter will override how the author's name is displayed in the reference.

[edit] Examples

Harvard references (books and journals)
  • For books: {{Harvrefcol|Surname=Turner |Given=O.|Title=History of the Pioneer Settlement of Phelps and Gorham's Purchase, and Morris' Reserve|Publisher=William Alling|Place=[[Rochester, New York]]|Year=1851|URL=http://olivercowdery.com/texts/1851Trn1.htm#turn1851 }}.
  • For periodicals: {{Harvrefcol|Surname=Smith|Given=J. III|Authorlink=Joseph Smith III|Title=Last Testimony of Sister Emma|Journal=The Saints' Herald|Volume=26|Issue=19|Year=1879|Page=289|URL=http://www.lavazone2.com/dbroadhu/IL/sain1872.htm#100179 }}.
  • Minimal reference: {{Harvrefcol|Last=Jones|First=|Year=2006 }}.
  • Multiple authors: {{Harvrefcol|Surname1=Lincoln|Given1=A.|Surname2=Washington|Given2=G.|Surname3=Adams |Given3=J. |Title=All the Presidents' Names|Publisher=The Pentagon|Place=Home Base, New York|Year=2007 }}.

Citation examples, based on related citation template (automatically creates a one-directional link to the first matching Harvard reference on the same page):

  • {{Harvcol|Turner|1851|pp=10-11}} (full cite format)
  • {{Harvcol|Smith|1879|p=289}} (short format)
  • {{Harvcol|Jones|2006|loc=section 5|Ref=none}} (non-linking)
  • {{Harvcol|Lincoln|Washington|Adams|2007|pp=88-89}} (multi-author)
Notes
  • Because the Harvard referencing style is based on Surname and Year, these items are mandatory in both the citation and the reference.
  • If there is only one author, the parameters Surname and Given may be replaced with Last and First, respectively.

[edit] Period after title

There needs to be a period and a space after the title of a book. At the moment, {{Harvrefcol|Surname=Bloch-Rozmej|Given=Anna|Year=1998|Title=Elements Interactions in Phonology: A Study in Connemara Irish|Publisher=Ph.D. dissertation, [[John Paul II Catholic University of Lublin|Catholic University of Lublin]]|ISBN=83-228-0641-8}} results in: Bloch-Rozmej, Anna (1998). Elements Interactions in Phonology: A Study in Connemara IrishPh.D. dissertation, Catholic University of Lublin. ISBN 83-228-0641-8. It should instead be: Bloch-Rozmej, Anna (1998). Elements Interactions in Phonology: A Study in Connemara Irish. Ph.D. dissertation, Catholic University of Lublin. ISBN 83-228-0641-8 (with a period and a space between "Irish" and "Ph.D."). —Angr 09:27, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

(test)

Yes, thank you. The template incorrectly assumed there would necessarily be a "Place" parameter associated with a "Publisher" parameter. Fixed. --Ling.Nut 12:43, 2 December 2006 (UTC)
I see. Somewhere in all this citation documentation there's a suggestion that the "Place" parameter be omitted if the place of publication is deducible from the name of the publisher (where else would the Catholic University of Lublin be located but Lublin?). —Angr 20:25, 2 December 2006 (UTC)
Ha. :-) The documentation is (for the most part) copied from {{Harvard reference}}, and needs serious editing. Besides, it seems we're talking about two different issues. One is whether or not one logically should include the "Place" in a given reference, and the second is whether the template is structured to correctly handle the omission of the "Place." I wasn't saying you should or shouldn't include the "place." I was saying the template didn't handle that situation correctly.
  • There are still details that need to be refined. I plan to get the rest ironed out after my Final exams for this semester (which begin more or less right now).

[edit] Help Needed

On the archaeology Wikiproject page it says using the Harvard Referencing system is recommended. And I prefer it anyway. I'm editing a page where there are only a couple of references and I added those. What is the correct and easiest way for this example. I'm using a book called The First Emperor - China's Terracotta Army. Editor Jane Portal The British Museum Press 2007 it's made up of individually authored chapters. So, if I want to reference p 167 of the chapter called The Terracotta Army by Lukas Nickel, how do I do that? Thanks.

Hi Doug, the Harvard ref after the sentence would be (Nickel 2007, p. 167) — or (Nickel 2007:167) — then in the References section at the end of the article, you would write:
  • Nickel, Lukas. "The Terracotta Army" in Portal, Jane. (ed.) The First Emperor - China's Terracotta Army. British Museum Press, 2007.
The above assumes that the Lukas Nickel paper was first published in this book.
There's more information on how to write Harvard refs here. SlimVirgin talk|edits 13:14, 29 March 2008 (UTC)

Thanks, you are helpful as always. But how do the templates work and the back referencing? In particular the Harvrefcol one. Or is it easier just to do it manually?--Doug Weller (talk) 13:39, 29 March 2008 (UTC)

My opinion is that it's easier to do it manually, because it involves less typing. I have never understood the point of the templates, notwithstanding that this is the template talk page. (I am here as a conscientious objector). :) SlimVirgin talk|edits 14:13, 29 March 2008 (UTC)
That seems sensible, I thought there was some arcane knowledge about using them I was missing. I'll use them just as I have in the past when writing essays, etc.--Doug Weller (talk) 15:49, 29 March 2008 (UTC):-)
