Wikipedia:WikiProject The KLF/LibraryOfMu

This is a list of pre-formatted citations to articles archived at archive.org or other acceptable web sites which were originally transcribed at the Library of Mu, for use with The Template of Mu: LibraryOfMu.

The list is constructed to optimise the ease of replacing existing references which do not currently use any citation template; the entries are by library ID number. Of course the list may also be used to find and add new references.

If you clean up all the references via the Library of Mu in an article, please add the article to the list down below so that other editors know that it does not need to be attended to.

Instructions
To modernise a reference, look for the id number in the url string and search for it here. If it is extant, click "edit" on the section of this page to copy the wikitext and paste it inside the  tags in the article.

If the id is not already listed here
If the id is not listed here, please carefully fill the reference using the LibraryOfMu template and add it here and to the article.

Find the page at The Wayback Machine or another web archive. (Try the old domain www.libraryofmu.org in the Wayback Machine if the page isn't listed under www.libraryofmu.net)

Open the link and copy over the data about the entry:

Do

 * Have a look at some existing entries below if this is your first time using the template
 * Copy the library id number into the  field e.g.
 * Bear in mind that the template is defaults to using Cite magazine, so only parameters which work in that template - plus the library id - are valid; the  parameter can be used to change the underlying citation template
 * Ensure the  and   parameters are used (they are now mandatory)
 * Add as much information as possible about the original source such as the author's first and last names, an  to the author's Wikipedia entry if they have one, the name of the original journal or publication in the   parameter (wikilinked if, as in most cases, the original publication has an article e.g.  ), and the date and title of the piece
 * Add any additional text which is necessary after the template closing brackets, but prefer to use template parameters where possible

Do not

 * Include the  parameter. It is disabled.
 * Include a  parameter except in the extremely rare cases where the Library of Mu holds a record originally from a web-only publication and not a newspaper, magazine or journal
 * Credit the Library of Mu as the website or source, or the Librarian of Mu as the author. The Library of Mu is a library, not a source
 * Use an initial followed by a dot in the  field as this seems to break the template

Saving to the Wikipedia article

 * It is recommended to preview before saving
 * Check the generated external link to ensure the correct article is referenced

Finding a reference by id
To find the pages where an article is referenced, add the number after a  to the URL of this page, and use "What links here".

For example, this is the list of references to id 387, Jim Reid's eyewitness account of the K Foundation burning a million quid: Special:WhatLinksHere/Wikipedia:WikiProject_The_KLF/LibraryOfMu/387

Other citation templates
Whilst not related only to sources stored at the Library of Mu, I will list here for ease of reference some of the "Cite xxx" templates which are most likely be relevant to KLF articles:

Untitled pieces
To add a reference to an item without a name (such as a news item), use the Library template with the parameters. See as an example.
