Template talk:

WIP template implemented by Harrystein to make citing Marxists.org a lot easier!

Usage

This is designed to read whatever Marxists.org URL you give it and output a nicely-formatted title, author, and year, complete with links to Leftypedia articles on those topics (aka "Wikilinks"). It doesn't use any LUA or outside coding/bots, which at the moment would be harder by an order of magnitude. If such things are implemented later, they should be used in concert with this template or, if they are pretty foolproof, supersede it.

Visual editor

In visual editing, you should be able to copy-paste the code shown below (adapted or otherwise) into your page. I would have to test this to see issues with it. If not, then [explain here how to make the link the only argument, even if not named, i.e. {{{1}}} ] -6/5/24

Source editor

This template is designed to do most of the work for you. I suggest starting by putting the link in, like so:

{{MIA citation|<link>}}

Any missing or incorrect details should be corrected:

{{MIA citation|<link>|author=<author>|year=<year>|title=<title>}}

See below for some examples.

Capital works the best and hopefully should be fully implemented with no gaps:

{{MIA citation | https://www.marxists.org/archive/marx/works/1867-c1/ch03.htm#S1}}
{{MIA citation | https://www.marxists.org/archive/marx/works/1885-c2/ch20_02.htm}}
{{MIA citation | https://www.marxists.org/archive/marx/works/1894-c3/ch13.htm}}

Marx, Karl (1867). Capital, Volume I. Chapter 3: "Money, or the Circulation of Commodities." Available online at the Marxists Internet Archive

Marx, Karl & Engels, Friedrich (1885). Capital, Volume II. Chapter 20: "Simple Reproduction." Available online at the Marxists Internet Archive

Marx, Karl & Engels, Friedrich (1894). Capital, Volume III. Chapter 13: "The Law as Such." Available online at the Marxists Internet Archive

More Marx works will be added upon request or popular usage.

The template also works reasonably well with other works:

{{MIA citation | https://www.marxists.org/archive/draper/1990/zionism/13-antisemitism.htm}}
{{MIA citation | https://www.marxists.org/reference/archive/stalin/works/1938/09.htm | title = dialectical and Historical Materialism}}
{{MIA citation | https://www.marxists.org/archive/lenin/works/1917/staterev/ch01.htm | title = state and revolution}}
{{MIA citation | https://www.marxists.org/reference/archive/smith-adam/works/wealth-of-nations/book01/ch01.htm | title = the wealth of nations | year = 1776}}
