Purpose

Provides an easy way to cite Global Volcanism Program web pages using a Volcano Reference File Number.

The major advantage of this template over {{VNUM}} is that the appearance of the citation will automatically conform with {{cite web}} which sees more frequent maintenance.

Bug

There is and undocumented feature in the MediaWiki software that causes an error message when this template is used if the vnum contains an equals sign. For example Kerinci a volcano in Indonesia has a vnum of 0601-17=. When such a vnum occurs a citation like {{cite gvp|0601-17=|Kerinci}} will not work. However, {{cite gvp|vnum=0601-17=|name=Kerinci}} or even {{cite gvp|1=0601-17=|2=Kerinci}} will work without any problem. For example:

Wiki markup

{{cite gvp|0601-17=|Kerinci}}

produces:

"Global Volcanism Program". Smithsonian Institution.

Examples

Wiki markup

{{cite gvp
| vnum = 1201-04-
| name = Adams
| accessdate = 2008-07-04 }}

produces:

"Adams". Global Volcanism Program. Smithsonian Institution. Retrieved 2008-07-04.


Wiki markup

{{cite gvp
| vnum = 1201-04-
| name = Adams
| accessdaymonth = 4 July
| accessyear = 2008 }}

produces:

"Adams". Global Volcanism Program. Smithsonian Institution.


Wiki markup

{{cite gvp|1=1201-04-|2=Adams|3=2008-07-04}}

produces:

"Adams". Global Volcanism Program. Smithsonian Institution. Retrieved 2008-07-04.


Wiki markup

{{cite gvp|1=1201-04-|2=Adams}}

produces:

"Adams". Global Volcanism Program. Smithsonian Institution.
