Template:Harvard citation/doc
Usage
{{Harvard citation |''Last name of author(s)''|''Year''| ''Location in the text''}}
Instead of using Location, you may also use one of the following parameters:
p = pagepp = pages
Notes
- The abbreviation Harv may be used.
- The first parameter is the author's last name.
- Up to four authors can be given as parameters (see the examples). If there are more than 4 authors only the first 4 should be listed; listing more will cause odd things to happen.
- The second parameter is the year of publication (assuming one author).
- The year and author name(s) must not have extra space before and after, else the generated links will not work. (BUG)
- The third parameter is the location of the cited material within the reference. This parameter is optional.
- The parameter p is an optional page parameter; thus "
{{Harv|Smith|2006| p=25}}" yields "(Smith 2006, p. 25)". - The parameter pp is an optional page range parameter; thus "
{{Harv|Smith|2006| pp=25–26}}" yields "(Smith 2006, pp. 25–26)". - If Ref=none, then no hyperlink is created.
- To avoid the brackets surrounding the citation, use {{tl2|Harvard citation no brackets}} or {{tl2|Harvnb}}.
- To use the author name(s) in the text, use {{tl2|Harvard citation text}} or {{tl2|Harvtxt}}.
- For more complicated Harvard citations with multiple links use {{tl2|Harvard citations}} or its abbreviation {{tl2|harvs}}.
Editors editing this template are requested to make parallel changes to the other versions.

Recommended style
The recommended Harvard referencing style potentially uses all three templates. Each automatically generates a hypertext link based on the name(s) and date. Here is an example
- Markup
Some works on gravitation are so massive they warp spacetime themselves {{Harv|Misner|Thorne|Wheeler|1973}}; yet {{Harvtxt|Einstein|1915}} presented essential equations with notable brevity. The essential ingredients are the curvature tensor and the stress-energy tensor ({{Harvnb|Einstein|1915|loc=p. 844}}; {{Harvnb|Misner|Thorne|Wheeler|1973|loc=p. 41}}).- Result
- Some works on gravitation are so massive they warp spacetime themselves (Misner, Thorne & Wheeler 1973); yet Einstein (1915) presented essential equations with notable brevity. The two ingredients are the curvature tensor and the stress-energy tensor (Einstein 1915, p. 844; Misner, Thorne & Wheeler 1973, p. 41).
In short:
- For a single work with no author in the text (the most common case), use {{tl2|Harv}}.
- For a single work with the author named in the text, use {{tl2|Harvtxt}}.
- For multiple works at the same point, use explicit parentheses and {{tl2|Harvnb}} separated by semicolons.
#CITEREF
More exotic Harvard citations can be constructed using #CITEREF as in the following example:
- [[Property (T)]] was introduced by [[David Kazhdan]] ([[Property T#CITEREFKazhdan1967|1967]]).
which produces
- Property (T) was introduced by David Kazhdan (1967)
with a link to the author, and a link to a citation on a different page. #CITEREF should be followed by the last names of up to 4 authors and the year (with no spaces), and if the link is to a different page it should be preceded by the name of the page (with spaces allowed). The citation template marks the reference using #CITEREF; see the source of template:citation/core for details.
Use with {{Citation}}
The {{tl2|Citation}} template can be used to format the citations in the References section.
Links from the Harvard citation to the Citation are provided using a #CITEREF link. The {{tl2|Harvard citation}} template creates a link #CITEREF followed by the concatenation of the author names and the year. {{tl2|Citation}} creates an anchor <a name="CITEREF"></a> followed by the concatenation of the following parameters:
- last or last1 or surname or surname1 or author or author1 or authors,
- last2 or surname2 or author2,
- last3 or surname3 or author3,
- last4 or surname4 or author4,
- editor-last or editor-surname or editor1-last or editor1-surname or editor or editors,
- editor2-last or editor2-surname,
- editor3-last or editor3-surname,
- editor4-last or editor4-surname,
- year or date.
For example {{Harv|Smith|2006| p=25}} produces a link #CITEREFSmith2006 and {{Citation|last=Smith|first=John|year=2006|title=My Life}}
produces an anchor CITEREFSmith2006.
