Help:CS1
Help:CS1 is a citation style used in Wikipedia to create citations in articles. It is a set of templates that provide a consistent way to format citations. The CS1 system is designed to be flexible and adaptable, allowing for a wide range of citation styles to be used.
Overview[edit | edit source]
The CS1 system is a collection of templates that are used to create citations in Wikipedia articles. These templates are designed to be flexible and adaptable, allowing for a wide range of citation styles to be used. The system is named after the Citation Style 1 standard, which is a widely used citation standard in academic writing.
Usage[edit | edit source]
To use the CS1 system, editors insert a template into the text of an article where they want a citation to appear. The template includes fields for the various elements of a citation, such as the author's name, the title of the work, the date of publication, and the page number. The template then formats these elements into a citation that appears in the article.
Features[edit | edit source]
The CS1 system includes a number of features that make it a powerful tool for creating citations. These include:
- Flexibility: The system can be used to create a wide range of citation styles, from simple author-date citations to more complex styles that include a wide range of information.
- Consistency: Because all citations are created using the same system, they have a consistent look and feel across all Wikipedia articles.
- Ease of use: The system is designed to be easy to use, even for editors who are not familiar with citation styles or the technical aspects of creating citations.
