Template:Authority/link/doc

Usage
To create citation type link (link) templates for "hosted works" (works composed of multiple smaller works, for example encyclopedias or anthologies), especially on Author: pages.

It can be used directly for a link using the parameters that you require or it can be used to create another/derivative template for further use.

Direct
producing

Derivative template
When using the template to create another template (eg. CE link as in the above example) it takes either
 * hard values to be set, eg.
 * parameters to be re-used, eg. if the work has article contributors then
 * values can be omitted, where not needed

Noting that the derivative template can have alternative names for its parameters (right hand side of equation) rather than use the default parameter name.
