Usage

This template is a "shorthand" template for creating a properly formatted reference citation to The Chicago Manual of Style 16th Ed. (current as of February 2012, without having to specify all the parameters of {{Cite book}}. The CMoS most often cited in articles on grammar and style, and in Wikipedia's own WP:Manual of Style. The template is almost always used inside <ref name="Chicago 16th"></ref>.

If you need to cite the same source in the same article more than once, use <ref name="Chicago 16th" /> for the subsequent citations.

Do not substitute this template. There is no reason to do so, it will add template code gibberish to the article if you do, and it won't work properly inside a reference citation anyway.

{{Chicago 16th
 |pp=
 |at=
 |title=
 |accessdate=
 |url=
}}

Parameters

The first three listed parameters are required.

{{Chicago 16th
 |pp=page number(s)
– with "p." or "pp.", required
 |at=section number – required
 |title=Section title – required – or do both, with colon, at once: |at=section number: Section title
 |accessdate=today's date – optional
 |url=location in online version – optional
}}

The numbered section of the CMoS must be added, with the |at= parameter, as it is the only way to find the material in the online version, which is not paginated like the print book.

Page numbering

See {{rp}} if a page number is needed in subsequent citations with the <ref name="Chicago 16th" /> notation.

Otherwise, simply add the page number(s) as the named |pp= (or as the first and unnamed), parameter (with "p." or "pp.", which will not be added automatically).

The URL to the online version can be added manually, with the |url= parameter, but it will auto-generate a Template:Subscription required tag in the citation, since the online version is not free to access.

The accessdate, if desired, must be specified manually:

{{Chicago 16th|pp=pp. 671–673|at=14.38|title=Footnotes and endnotes – an overview|accessdate=2012-01-15}}

Example

Article text.<ref name="Chicago 16th">{{Chicago 16th|pp=pp. 671–673|at=14.38|title=Footnotes and endnotes – an overview}}</ref>
