Template:Cite LSA
| This template is being discussed in accordance with Wikipedia's deletion policy. Help reach a consensus at its entry. |
 | This template uses Lua: |
This template creates citations using a portion of the Linguistic Society of America (LSA) style for use in articles, especially those related to linguistics. See this style sheet for the LSA's style guidelines for references.
The template does not follow or attempt to enforce all of the guidelines in the style sheet. For example, the template does not attempt to modify titles to change capitalization, nor does it enforce the recommendation to use full author names or ampersands. It does not follow the guidance regarding editor name lists. For a set of templates that provide a broader set of parameters, more consistent formatting, and a wide variety of error-checking, please see {{cite journal}} and the related Citation Style 1 templates.
This template should not be used in articles unrelated to linguistics, and if found in an article unrelated to linguistics, editors are encouraged to replace each occurrence of this template with the appropriate Citation Style 1 template such as {{cite journal}} or {{cite book}}, or with the Citation Style 2 template {{Citation}}, consistent with existing citation templates in the article.
Usage
Most parameters are optional, the only non-optional arguments are last, first, title, year. The template can take an unlimited number of author and editor names.
