Template:Cite mac/doc

Usage

This is an experimental way to cite the technical specifications of Macintosh models in a uniform way from developer Apple Inc. and third party EveryMac.com. Apple, as a primary source, is the most reliable, but its information is often sparse. EveryMac.com was selected as the least commercial and most reliable of a handful of sites dedicated to legacy Macintosh specifications.

Installation

All editors using this template should add the following to their monobook.js or vector.js pages for use with refToolbar 2.0: 

importScript('User:Mr.Z-man/refToolbar 2.0.js');
new citeTemplate('cite mac', 'Macintosh',
[ // Basic fields
{"field": "model", "label":"Model name"},
{"field": "appleNumber", "label":"Apple number"}, 
{"field": "everyURL", "label":"EverMac URL", "tooltip": "Only from after /apple/"},
{"field": "accessdate"}
], [ ]);

Parameters

{{Cite mac |model= |appleNumber= |everyURL= |accessdate= }}

  • model is a string that is used to identify the specific Macintosh being cited.

  • everyURL refers to the second half of the URL from EveryMac.com, beginning immediately after system/apple/. Find articles.
