साचा:New texts/item/doc

This is a documentation subpage for साचा:New texts/item.
It contains usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original साचा page.

Usage

Used to add new items to Template:New texts. {{{1}}} is for the text's title, {{{2}}} for the Author's name, and {{{3}}} for the year (doesn't appear if undefined). No subst.

Options to be used sparingly

To display alternate text for the title, ie. rather than the link, 1, one can utilise display to override.
where the identified title is part of another work (ie. a subpage), or the work name is very long
To have a plain text, rather than an active link for the author, add a fourth parameter nowiki, eg. nowiki=yes
where the author is a body without an author name. Note for anonymous authors, do not use this parameter, instead utilise {{anon}}
To display a small image, use image_name for the filename and image_size to define the size of the image.
