HTTP→HTTPS per this RfC

New page

{{Documentation subpage}}

Template for linking to the [https://authorscalendar.info/ ''Books and Writers''] (kirjasto.sci.fi or Authors' Calendar) website.

== Usage ==
The template takes two parameters, the ID of the author and the author's name.
::{{tlc|{{BASEPAGENAME}}|id{{=}}<var>author ID</var>|name{{=}}<var>author name</var>}}

The author name is optional the module will use the article title. However consider locking in your desired name in case the article is renamed for dab purposes.

The ID can be found by going to the [https://authorscalendar.info/indeksi.htm index page] and hover over the author's link and look for the "name.htm" in the URL. The "name" without the ".htm" is the ID.

For example [[Isaac Asimov]] has a link of "asimov.htm" thus an ID of "asimov:
::* {{tlc|{{BASEPAGENAME}}|id{{=}}asimov |name{{=}}Isaac Asimov}}
:produces:
::* {{{{BASEPAGENAME}}|id=asimov |name=Isaac Asimov}}

===As an inline citation===
The template is not designed as a citation template, rather an external link template -- for example in external links sub-sections, or talk pages, or in sections below the references subsection.

For inline citations use a [[WP:cite|citation template]] such as {{tl|cite web}}. For example:

::<code><nowiki>{{cite web |url=https://authorscalendar.info/asimov.htm |title=Issac Asimov |website=Books and Writers |first=Petri |last=Liukkonen |publisher=[[Kuusankoski]] Public Library |location=Finland }}</nowiki></code>

Feel free to copy and paste this into the article.

==Notes==
* ''Books and Writers'' website went offline around March 2015. The template originally linked to the [[Wayback Machine]] version of kirjasto.sci.fi -- but after that went offline due to robots.txt the site was moved to GitHub Pages. If for some reason that also becomes unavailable, the entire ''Books and Writers'' website has been archived (licensed Creative Commons) and can be found [https://github.com/greencardamom/BooksAndWriters here] as a zip file. If for some reason that also becomes unavailable it can be found [https://web.archive.org/web/20150621183122/https://github.com/greencardamom/BooksAndWriters/blob/master/Books%20and%20Writers.zip?raw=true here]. Individual pages in the greencardamom.github.io/BooksAndWriters/* tree are also available on the Wayback Machine. In 2017, it was discovered the site was actually moved in 2015 (not taken offline) to a different domain https://authorscalendar.info/indeksi.htm and the template was updated accordingly.
