Template:Gutenberg author/doc

This is a template to generate links to Project Gutenberg authors. This template should be used exclusively for AUTHORS, ILLUSTRATORS, TRANSLATORS, and persons with similar roles in book production. To link directly to a BOOK, use Template:Gutenberg book.

The template can be used three ways, with |id= to name, number or empty for Wikidata

  • id = name
{{Gutenberg author | id=James,+Henry+(1843-1916) |name=Henry James}}
produces this URL
https://www.gutenberg.org/author/James,+Henry+(1843-1916)
displayed like this
Works by Henry James at Project Gutenberg
  • id = number
{{Gutenberg author | id=113 |name=Henry James}}
produces this URL
https://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/author/113
displayed like this
Works by Henry James at Project Gutenberg
  • id = <none> for Wikidata
{{Gutenberg author |name=Henry James}}
this works on pages that have Wikidata items and have Project Gutenberg author ID (P1938) defined, but otherwise works using id = number above
  • 'id = name' will go to an author search result page.
  • 'id = number' will skip the author search result page and go direct to the author page. This is preferable.
