Jeffrey T. Williams; Kent E. Carpenter; James L. Van Tassell; Paul Hoetjes; Wes Toller; Peter Etnoyer; Michael Smith (21 May 2010). "Biodiversity Assessment of the Fishes of Saba Bank Atoll, Netherlands Antilles". PLOS One (in English) 5 (5). Bibcode:2010PLoSO...510676W. ISSN 1932-6203. PMC 2873961. PMID 20505760. doi:10.1371/JOURNAL.PONE.0010676. Wikidata Q15625490. 

You can read about the template in:

Mike Peel; Andy Mabbett (14 January 2021). "Automatically maintained citations with Wikidata and Cite Q". Diff (in English). Wikidata Q104831003. 

Usage

A wrapper for {{Citation}}, which calls available values from Wikidata.

By default, if there are more than eight author names, the template displays three, followed by "et al". This can be changed using |display-authors=; setting that parameter to all displays them all. The same applies to multiple editors – see the test-case pages.

Citations of papers which have been retracted (retracted by (P5824)) will appear in Category:Cite Q - cites a retracted work.

Citations of papers which have been replaced (replaced by (P1366)) will appear in Category:Cite Q - cites a replaced work.

Parameters

• |1= = Wikidata QID for the article

Additionally, any named parameter used in {{citation}} may be entered and will overwrite the value in Wikidata. Using such parameters, with a value of unset, will suppress display of data from Wikidata.
