Documentation for the template: Cover Image Data2 (transcluded from Template:Cover Image Data2/Doc.

Purpose

This template is to be placed on the image description page of a book, magazine, or other publication cover image used under fair use. This template provides less information than does Template:Cover Image Data, but requires less user input.

Usage

Call this template as:

{{Cover Image Data2
|Id=<TAG>
|Title=<Book Title>
}}

or as:

{{Cover Image Data2
|Id=<TAG>
}}

or as:

{{Cover Image Data2|<TAG>|<Book Title>}}

or as:

{{Cover Image Data2|<TAG>}}

Note: In all the above examples, when a parameter is shown in angle brackets, like:

<Parameter>

then the parameter, and the angle brackets, should be replaced by the value of the parameter. For example: Title=<TITLE> should become Title=The Name of the Book (or whatever the name might be).

Parameters

  • Id must specify a publication record tag or record number, an acceptable argument to Template:P (which see). If the "Id=" parameter is not present, the first unnamed parameter is used. One or the other must be present and valid for the template to work correctly
  • Title may specify the title of the book. This will be used in formating the link to the publication record, as the optional name parameter to Template:P. If "Title=" is not present, the 2nd unnamed parameter is used instead. If neither is present, the tag is used in place of the title.

Alias

To reduce typing, the alias {{CID2}} has been created for this template. So this template can also be called as

{{CID2
|Id=<TAG>
|Title=<Book Title>
}}

or as:

{{CID2
|Id=<TAG>
}}

or as:

{{CID2|<TAG>|<Book Title>}}

The alias {{C}} is also available, and works exactly the same way.

Categories

This template puts all pages that transclude (call) it into the following categories:
