Template:Template shortcuts
This template, based on {{Google books}}, outputs a Google Books URL (web address) only, rather than a linked book title and page number. It is suitable for use in the |url= parameter of a citation template.
Usage
{{GBurl|id|p=|dq=|q=}}
The p, dq, and q parameters are all optional.
The |id= parameter is the string of twelve characters found in the specific Google Books URL after "id=" but before "&".
The |p= parameter may be used to link to a particular page number. |page= works as an alias.
An alternative parameter |pg= can be used for "special" pages as well as ordinary pages. For example, |pg=PR1 for the page numbered "i", or |pg=PP2 for an inside cover (check the specific circumstances as appropriate for the latter as they vary from book to book). Because the |pg= parameter corresponds directly to the pg parameter in the Google URL, it can also be used for ordinary pages numbered with Arabic numerals; e.g., |pg=PA10 yields the same result as |p=10.
The |q= (alias |keywords=) parameter may be used to search for particular keywords within the text (corresponding to the q parameter in the Google URL). Enclose phrases in quotation marks (").
The |dq= (alias |text=) parameter searches for a quoted phrase (corresponding to the dq parameter in the Google URL). Enclose phrases in quotation marks (").
Example 1:
* {{cite book |last=Doe |first=John |title=History of the Western Insurrection |url={{GBurl|7ydCAAAAIAAJ|p=42}} |page=42 }}
creates:
- Doe, John. [[[:User:Lwarrenwiki/Template:GBurl]] History of the Western Insurrection] Check
|url=value (help). p. 42.
- Doe, John. [[[:User:Lwarrenwiki/Template:GBurl]] History of the Western Insurrection] Check
Example 2:
{{cite book|last=Doe|first=John|title=History of the Western Insurrection|url={{GBurl|id=7ydCAAAAIAAJ|page=42}}|page=42}}
creates:
- Doe, John. [[[:User:Lwarrenwiki/Template:GBurl]] History of the Western Insurrection] Check
|url=value (help). p. 42.
Example 3:
Doe, John. [{{GBurl|7ydCAAAAIAAJ|pg=PP2}} ''History of the Western Insurrection''].
creates this, which links to the bookplate on the inside cover:
- Doe, John. [[[:User:Lwarrenwiki/Template:GBurl]] History of the Western Insurrection].
Example 4:
Doe, John. [{{GBurl|7ydCAAAAIAAJ|pg=PR1}} ''History of the Western Insurrection''].
creates this, which links to the title page complete with inscriptions:
- Doe, John. [[[:User:Lwarrenwiki/Template:GBurl]] History of the Western Insurrection].
