"{{{title}}}". InsidePoolMag.com. Kittanning, Pennsylvania: Spheragon Publishing. {{
cite web}}: Missing or empty |url= (
help)
Purpose
This template is for creating a properly-formatted reference citation to non-magazine features at InsidePoolMag.com, one of the most frequently cited reliable sources of
cue sports journalism (see
WikiProject Cue sports for more information). It is almost always used inside an inline reference citation, e.g. <ref name="IPSite date here">...</ref>. The benefit of the template is that it automatically provides the |work=, |publisher=, and |location= parameters of {{
Cite web}} for you.
This template is not for citations to the printed InsidePool Magazine; use {{ IPMag}} for that. It is also not for citations to the forum or blog features on that site, which are not reliable sources.
Usage
Typical parameters:
{{IPSite
|title=
|first=
|last=
|date=
|at=
|url=
|archive-url=
|archive-date=
|access-date=
}}
The template uses the same (relevant) parameter names as {{
Cite web}}. The |title= and |url= parameters are required.
If you need to cite the same source in the same article more than once, use something like <ref name="AZBilliards date" /> for the subsequent citations.
This template cannot be
subst'd, unless this is done before it is put inside <ref...></ref> (due to a bug in the <
ref> and <
references /> system). There is no reason to subst it anyway, as doing so will produce messy results.
Parameters
|title=The title of the article. If the cited item is a regular feature (such as a mini-column, without a specific title for that day's item), use the feature's name as the|title=, e.g.|title=Events Calendarinstead of using it for|at=, because a|title=value is required by the template.
|url=The URL to the article (not the homepage of the website). This site does not support SSL (https), so URLs must be given with the leadinghttp:part – as in|url= http://insidepoolmag.com/billiard-tour-news/pool-tour-news/bobby-mcgrath-wins-2007-international-speed-pool-championship-200710125541.html– and MediaWiki will auto-supply thehttpspart. This shortening is optional.
|first=|last=Given name(s) and family name(s) of the writer. If the article has no by-line, you can use the named editor of a tournament section as the author for purposes of that tournament articles, etc. Otherwise, simply omit the|first=and|last=parameters. For multiple authors, use|last1=and|first1=, etc. A notable interviewee or columnist with their own Wikipedia article can be linked to with a corresponding|author-link=, e.g.:|author1-link=Jeanette Lee (pool player|last1=Lee|first1=Jeanette (interviewee).
|date=The date of publication. Match the English language variety of the article (e.g. "August 8, 2015" for American subjects, and "8 August 2015" for British and many other subjects).
|at=The name (without quotation marks or other markup) of the section or department in which the article appears, if the article has a separate title. This publication does not use numbered pages. If you mistakenly use a|page=or|pages=parameter, it will be converted to|at=. Some example section names at this site include Billiard News, Tournaments, and Industry News. They may appear in the site's left menu, or above articles or lists of articles. Note: Some articles on this site appear in sections that have clear section names at the top of them, such as Pool Tour News, while others do not, especially if accessed from the Billiard News portal near the top of the site's left menu. In those cases, simply use|at=Billiard News, unless something more specific is evident in the URL (e.g. .../pool-leagues/bca-pool-leagues/...yields|at=BCA Pool Leagues. These section names are important, because not only do they provide the reader some reference material context, they much more importantly provide a hint for later editors on where to find the article if and almost inevitably when the site undergoes some kind of a restructuring that makes old URLs invalid.
|archive-url=|archive-date=You can further help prevent WP:LINKROT, especially if citing something that changes frequently, e.g. the "Calendar" section, by using https://WebCitation.org or https://Archive.org/web/ to generate an archive, and cite that, with|archive-url=and|archive-date=, in addition to the original|url=. It is always safest to do this anyway for online source citations, since they may disappear at any time.
|quote=Optionally added to provide a quotation from the source (don't use quotation marks; the template will provide them).
Example
In this case, as is common on that site, no specific author by-line was given, so the |first= and |last= parameters are omitted.
