Do you have permission to re-use this image? Just because scans appear on Wiktenauer does not mean that they are free to use. Wiktenauer is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, and many of the scans we host are only licensed for nonprofit use. In other cases, the scans have no standard license and Wiktenauer has received special permission to host them (and can't grant that permission to anyone else). The license terms appear in the Copyright and License Terms box at the bottom of the page that sent you here. When in doubt, always check with the museum or library that owns a manuscript before publishing or otherwise reusing its scans. |
Template:COinS safe
This template is safe for use in citation templates that produce COinS metadata; see COinS in Wikipedia. If HTML or other markup is added, then the template must be reevaluated. |
Usage
This template is a notice for templates that may be used in citation templates. By default, it indicates the template is safe for use as shown above.
To indicate a template that should not be used in a citation template:
{{COinS safe|n}}
This template should not be used in citation templates that produce COinS metadata; see COinS in Wikipedia. It includes markup that will pollute the metadata. |
Issue
Citation templates such as Citation Style 1 and Citation Style 2 generate COinS metadata. If a template is used in a citation template field, then it may inject HTML into the metadata.
Compare the rendered HTML for {{cite book}} with |author=
using no template and using {{smallcaps}}.
Markup | Renders as |
---|---|
{{cite book |author=Sam Drucker |title=Title}} |
Sam Drucker. Title.
|
{{cite book |author={{smallcaps|Sam Drucker}} |title=Title}} |
Sam Drucker. Title.
|
The author metadata is in the rft.aulast
field. In this case, it is percent-encoded and is rendered as <span class="smallcaps" style="font-variant:small-caps;">Sam Drucker</span>
Reference management software will interpret the entire span as the author name.
