Line 1:

;Providing a link for title and chapter

: The title of the cited publication can be linked:

:* If there is a one-on-one relation between the publication named in the '''title''' parameter and an English Wikipedia article, the title can be linked with a Wikilink, e.g.:

Line 13:

:** {{para|title|<nowiki>[[scores:Grundlage einer Ehren-Pforte (Mattheson, Johann)|Grundlage einer Ehren-Pforte]]</nowiki>}}

:** {{para|title|Ueber Johann Sebastian Bachs Leben, Kunst und Kunstwerke}}<br />{{para|title-link|wikisource:de:Ueber Johann Sebastian Bachs Leben, Kunst und Kunstwerke}}

:* If there's no meaningful Wikilink, use the url parameter for a [[WP:EL]]-conforming external link to a web-page that has the content indicated by the title, giving preference to a web-page that [a] gives clutter-free access to the entire publication indicated by the title; [b] complies to [[WP:SAYWHEREYOUGOTIT]]; [c] is most likely to be a stable link for that content; [d] allows precisemore linkingprecision for referencing (e.g., chapterswith chapter subdivisions, section titles, page numbers). When not all of these criteria can be satisfied, they are to be understood as being given in descending order of importance. E.g.:

:** {{para|title|Symphony No. 4, "Tragic", D. 417 – Symphony in C (Grand Duo, D. 812, orch. Joachim)}}<br />{{para|url|<nowiki>https://www.chandos.net/chanimages/Booklets/NA3095.pdf</nowiki>}}<br />(not... which is a better link than:<br />{{para|url|<br /><nowiki>https://www.naxos.com/mainsite/blurbs_reviews.asp?item_code=8.553095&catNum=553095&filetype=About%20this%20Recording&language=English</nowiki>}}<br />(while thatthis alternative link does not give the full content, nordoes mentionsnot mention the author, and has no page numbers)

:* Similarly for linking a chapter named in the '''chapter''' parameter (combines with '''chapter-link''' and '''chapter-url''' parameters for, respectively, internal and external links):

:** {{para|chapter|Franz Schubert’s letzte Compositionen}}<br />{{para|chapter-link|wikisource:de:Seite:Gesammelte Schriften über Musik und Musiker Bd.2 (1854).pdf/234}}<br />... this last link is better than:<br />{{para|chapter-url|<nowiki>https://archive.org/details/SchumannGesammelteSchriften1854B2/page/n233</nowiki>}}<br />(a link to a sister project, which transcribes the Gothic script and provides links to topics, is preferable to an external link, also for likely being more stable)
