- page: The number of a single page in the source that supports the content. Use either
|{{SAFESUBST:#if:page|page=}}
or|{{SAFESUBST:#if:pages|pages=}}
, but not both. Displays preceded by {{#if:|colon (<syntaxhighlight lang="text" class="" id="" style="" inline="1">:</syntaxhighlight>)|<syntaxhighlight lang="text" class="" id="" style="" inline="1">p.</syntaxhighlight> unless|{{SAFESUBST:#if:no-pp|no-pp=}}yes
{{#if: | or work (or an alias) is defined}}}}. If hyphenated, use {{hyphen}} to indicate this is intentional (e.g.|{{SAFESUBST:#if:page|page=}}3{{hyphen}}12
), otherwise several editors and semi-automated tools will assume this was a misuse of the parameter to indicate a page range and will convert|{{SAFESUBST:#if:page|page=}}3-12
to|{{SAFESUBST:#if:pages|pages=}}3{{ndash}}12
. Alias: p. - OR: pages: A range of pages in the source that supports the content{{#if:| or the range of pages of the article as a whole, or both (using the following notation: article-page-range [content-supporting-pages], for example: pp. 4–10 [5, 7])|}}. Use either
|{{SAFESUBST:#if:page|page=}}
or|{{SAFESUBST:#if:pages|pages=}}
, but not both. Separate using an en dash (–); separate non-sequential pages with a comma (,); do not use to indicate the total number of pages in the source. Displays preceded by {{#if:|colon (<syntaxhighlight lang="text" class="" id="" style="" inline="1">:</syntaxhighlight>)|<syntaxhighlight lang="text" class="" id="" style="" inline="1">pp.</syntaxhighlight> unless|{{SAFESUBST:#if:no-pp|no-pp=}}yes
{{#if: | or work (or an alias) is defined}}}}.
Hyphens are automatically converted to en dashes; if hyphens are appropriate because individual page numbers contain hyphens, for example: pp. 3-1–3-15, use double parentheses to tell the template to display the value of|{{SAFESUBST:#if:pages|pages=}}
without processing it, and use {{hyphen}} to indicate to editors that a hyphen is really intended:|{{SAFESUBST:#if:pages|pages=}}((3{{hyphen}}1{{ndash}}3{{hyphen}}15))
. Alternatively, use|{{SAFESUBST:#if:at|at=}}
, like this:|{{SAFESUBST:#if:at|at=}}pp. 3-1–3-15
. Alias: pp.{{#if:||- no-pp: Set to yes, y, or true to suppress the <syntaxhighlight lang="text" class="" id="" style="" inline="1">p.</syntaxhighlight> or <syntaxhighlight lang="text" class="" id="" style="" inline="1">pp.</syntaxhighlight> notations where this is inappropriate; for example, where
|{{SAFESUBST:#if:page|page=}}Front cover
or|{{SAFESUBST:#if:pages|pages=}}passim
.}}
- no-pp: Set to yes, y, or true to suppress the <syntaxhighlight lang="text" class="" id="" style="" inline="1">p.</syntaxhighlight> or <syntaxhighlight lang="text" class="" id="" style="" inline="1">pp.</syntaxhighlight> notations where this is inappropriate; for example, where
- OR: at: For sources where a page number is inappropriate or insufficient. Overridden by
|{{SAFESUBST:#if:page|page=}}
or|{{SAFESUBST:#if:pages|pages=}}
. Use only one of|{{SAFESUBST:#if:page|page=}}
,|{{SAFESUBST:#if:pages|pages=}}
, or|{{SAFESUBST:#if:at|at=}}
.
