Usage
[edit]- Normally used for unlinked authority names in references and reference templates. It will change the font type to small caps format. It should never include a wiki link.
- Please note that this template should not be used for adding small caps to the names of journals, books or other titles. For technical reasons (e.g. database management and -maintenance) it should be used exclusively for unlinked author names.
Example
[edit]{{aut|Carolus Linnaeus}}will produce Carolus Linnaeus (i.e. without a wiki link)- Do not use this template for linked author names, e.g. as
{{aut|[[Carolus Linnaeus]]}}. For linked author names, please use Template:A instead.
