Template:PhilPapers/doc

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Purpose

[edit]

This is a template to generate links to entries  an article, a journal, a category or a list of search results  in the PhilPapers, an online directory of philosophy articles.

Note: This template should generally only be used in the External links sections of articles; it should not be used in citations, references or bibliography. Consider using {{citation}}, {{cite web}} or related templates for those purposes.

Parameters and usage

[edit]

This template takes (up to) three (unnamed) parameters  the first and the second are required, the third is optional:

 {{PhilPapers 
 | {{{1}}}
 | {{{2}}} 
 | {{{3}}} 
}}
  • {{{1}}}: either category, rec, search or journal
  • {{{2}}}: PhilPapers entry id (string)[a]
  • {{{3}}}: Alternate link name (optional)[b]

Example 1

[edit]

Browsing from PhilPapers' homepage through "African/Africana Philosophy" > "African Philosophy" > "African Philosophy: History and Traditions" > "Ancient Egyptian Philosophy" will land you at https://philpapers.org/browse/ancient-egyptian-philosophy, which is the PhilPapers category (|1=category) on "Ancient Egyptian Philosophy"; then copying the URL extension string into the second unnamed parameter (|2=ancient-egyptian-philosophy):

  • {{PhilPapers|category|ancient-egyptian-philosophy|custom text}}

will produce "custom text at PhilPapers", where "custom text" is an external link to PhilPapers' category on Ancient Egyptian Philosophy.

Example 2

[edit]

The article "Aristotle on Geometrical Potentialities", at https://philarchive.org/rec/IWAAOG, is a record (|1=rec) in the PhilPapers database; and its id is |2=IWAAOG. Thus:

  • {{PhilPapers|rec|IWAAOG|Aristortoise is an Aristurtle}}

will produce the external link: "Aristortoise is an Aristurtle at PhilPapers"[c]

Notes

[edit]
  1. Entries can be found by browsing topics from the PhilPapers' homepage or using their search box.
  2. If this value is empty, the link text defaults to the title of the Wikipedia page where this template is transcluded
  3. Remember: the third unnamed parameter overrides the default text, which is not the title of the article at PhilPapers.
