Usage

This template can be placed at the end of a sentence, sentences or a paragraph that incorporate text from a source that is not under copyright, if there is no source specific template.

This template takes one parameters the name of the source and and any other details which are needed to identify the work:

{{Citation-attribution|title, author and other details}}

If a Wikipedia article incorporates a substantial amount of text from an external source more than one paragraph in a section or text in several sections, then there is no need to use this template instead cite the source in the usual manner and use the {{source-attribution}} in the References section of the article.

Examples

A text sting can be passed as the parameter:

<ref>{{Citation-attribution|King, Richard John (1869) ''Handbook to the cathedrals of England'', Vol. 1, Part 2. J. Murray. 129}}</ref>

or a citation template, like {{cite book}} can be used:

<ref>{{citation-attribution| {{cite book |last1=King |first1=Richard John |title=Handbook to the cathedrals of England |volume=Vol. 1, Part 2. |year=1869 |publisher=J. Murray |page=129}} }}</ref>

They displays as:

In this capacity, the Archbishop led one of the bodies of English troops which defeated the Scots at the Battle of Neville's Cross, close to Durham, 18 October 1346.[1][2]
