== Usage ==
This template should be placed in the [[WP:LAYOUT#References|References section]] of an article if the article incorporates text from a source that is not under copyright and there is no source specific template listed in [[:Category:Attribution templates]].

:<nowiki>{{Source-attribution|</nowiki>''source and other details''|no-icon=y |pl=y |inline=y<nowiki>}}</nowiki>

The four parameters are: 
*{{code|1}} (unnamed) =  ''{{code|source name and other identifying details}}'' — The name of the ''source'', along with any other details which are needed to identify the work (the argument (the text) can also be another template such as {{tlx|cite book}})
*{{code|no-icon}}={{code|y}} — remove the leading icon (alternative {{code|noicon}} and the argument can be any string such as {{green|''yes''}} or {{green|''1''}}  etc)
*<code>pl</code>=<code>y</code> — changes the wording from "{{green|from a publication}}" to "{{green|from publications}}" (alternative {{code|plural}} and the argument can be any string such as {{green|''yes''}} or {{green|''1''}}  etc).
*{{code|inline}}={{code|y}}  — change the wording of the prescript from "{{green|This article...}}" to "{{green|One or more of the preceding sentences...}}" (alternative {{code|sentence}} and  the argument can be any string such as {{green|''yes''}} or {{green|''1''}}  etc). It is intended for use in inline citations.

== Examples ==
#Using {{para|no-icon|y}}, as in <code><nowiki><ref>{{Source-attribution|no-icon=y}}</ref></nowiki></code>, removes the leading icon <ref>{{Source-attribution|no-icon=y}}</ref>
#A text string with no parameters (and followed by a citation), such as <code><nowiki><ref>{{Source attribution}} {{cite book|last=Offa |first=Anne |year=1066|title=An Old Book}}</ref></nowiki></code>, would display as <ref>{{Source attribution}} {{cite book|last=Offa |first=Anne |year=1066|title=An Old Book}}</ref>
#The template with a citation as the unnamed parameter, e.g. <code><nowiki><ref>{{Source-attribution|{{cite book |title= Handbook to the cathedrals of England |first=Richard |last=John |date=1869}} }}</ref></nowiki></code>, shows as <ref>{{Source-attribution|{{cite book |title= Handbook to the cathedrals of England |first=Richard |last=John |date=1869}} }}</ref>
#Using {{para|pl|y}}, as in <code><nowiki><ref>{{Source-attribution|pl=y|John, Richard (1869). ''Handbook to the cathedrals of England''; and {{cite book|last=Offa |first=Anne |year=1066|title=An Old Book}}}}</ref></nowiki></code>, shows as <ref>{{Source-attribution|pl=yes|John, Richard (1869). ''Handbook to the cathedrals of England''; and {{cite book|last=Offa |first=Anne |year=1066|title=An Old Book}}}}</ref>
#Using {{para|inline|y}}, as in <code><nowiki><ref>{{Source-attribution|inline=y|''Handbook to the cathedrals of England'', by Richard John (1869)}}</ref></nowiki></code>, shows as <ref>{{Source-attribution|inline=yes|''Handbook to the cathedrals of England'', by Richard John (1869)}}</ref>
#Using all four parameters simultaniously <code><nowiki><ref>{{Source-attribution|''sources and other details''|no-icon=y |pl=y |inline=y}}</ref></nowiki></code><ref>{{Source-attribution|''sources and other details''|no-icon=y |pl=y |inline=y}}</ref>
In the references section, these appear as
