Template:Harvard reference
{{{author}}} ({{{year}}})
The Harvard reference template is a versatile template for citing books, periodicals, chapters in compilations, and web-sites. It follows the Harvard referencing style, and it has a special "linking functionality" that allows inline harvard citations to link to the reference via the Template:Harvard citation template. As the Harvard referencing style is an "surname-year" format, the only mandatory parameters are last (or surname) and year. You may include as many authors or editors as necessary (via the last1, editor-last3, etc. tags), although only three of each will display.
The template knows whether you are citing a book, periodical, or a chapter in a compilation. The citation will be formatted as a periodical if you include a periodical or journal parameter. The citation will be formatted as a chapter or compilation in a larger book if you use the chapter or contribution parameter. In all other cases, the citation will have a standard format appropriate for books, web pages, and anything with an author, a year, and optionally a title.
