Usage

This template creates a {{cite web}} citation to Russ Rowlett's The Lighthouse Directory.

Parameters

There is one mandatory unnamed parameter, which is the case sensitive page designation. The designation appears at the end of the page url.

For example: http://www.unc.edu/~rowlett/lighthouse/jpst.htm - the designation is jpst.

In addition, date and access date can be specified using the date and accessdate fields.

Error checking is done, thus using {{cite rowlett|foo}} will result in an error:

Rowlett, Russ. "Lighthouses of Error: invalid page designation when using {{[[Template:cite rowlett|cite rowlett]]}}". The Lighthouse Directory. University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. URL–wikilink conflict (help)

Examples:

{{cite rowlett|isr}}

Rowlett, Russ. "Lighthouses of Israel". The Lighthouse Directory. University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.

{{cite rowlett|isr|date=July 26, 2009|accessdate=August 3, 2010}}

Harvard style referencing

This template provides a simple Harvard style reference, using {{sfn|Rowlett}} or {{harvnb|Rowlett}}, as appropriate. However, year referencing is not supported at this time.

One can also specify the ref parameter to use other tags.
