Template:Creator mention

Template documentationviewedithistorypurge

Analogous to {{press}} and {{subject mention}}, this template is to be used in talk pages about creative works such as books, magazines, films, television shows, video games, websites or other forms of media. It is for when the creators of such subjects mention their corresponding Wikipedia articles.

Usage

{{Creator mention
 |creator     = <!-- use this parameter to replace "creator" with a different word (e.g. author) if desired -->
 |multiple    = <!-- set this parameter to "yes" for works authored by multiple individuals, leave this parameter out if only one individual has mentioned an article -->
 |partial     = <!-- set this parameter to "yes" for works authored by multiple individuals if only some of them have mentioned an article -->
 |              <!-- place content in this parameter -->
}}

Redirects

Please note: these redirects do not change the default message - you have to do that yourself if desired. For instance, if you use the {{author mention}} redirect, you might want to use {{author mention|creator=author}} to match the message to your chosen redirect.

• {{author mention}}
