Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

This template is used to cite Roller Coaster Database (RCDB) pages. It must be wrapped with <ref> tags.

Usage

{{cite RCDB
|coaster_name=
|location=
|rcdb_number=
|accessdate=
|url=
}}

RefToolbar 2.0

The simplest way to use this template is with RefToolbar. Registered users can enable this option in the Gadgets tab of the My Preferences menu. After this is enabled, the following code needs to be copied to your skin Javascript file. You will then notice a new Cite tab when editing a page. By clicking on the templates drop down you will find RCDB. Fill in the details and click insert.

importScript('User:Mr.Z-man/refToolbar 2.0.js');
$j('head').one('reftoolbarbase', function() {
new citeTemplate('cite RCDB', 'cite RCDB',
[ // Basic fields
{"field": "coaster_name", "label":"Coaster name"},
{"field": "location", "label":"Park name"}, 
{"field": "rcdb_number", "label":"RCDB Number"},
{"field": "accessdate", "label":"Access date"},
{"field": "url", "label":"URL"}
],
[ // Expanded fields
]);
});

Parameters

rcdb_number The number of the roller coaster. It appears in the URL. 1
