Citation templates

I have a question. We use the CS1 template/module suite on the AARoads Wiki. We're curious about restyling the output to follow the Chicago Manual of Style author-date output. What would we need to edit to change the output order of the templates? We're curious if the "juice is worth the squeeze", so to speak. Imzadi 1979 → 22:19, 29 December 2024 (UTC)

Two random thoughts that I had after I pressed save:

1. I wonder if a |mode=cmos option in the templates might be possible, and
2. Is there a way on the other wiki to make a mode a default?

With the first, any effort made to support the other style could be available to enwiki. As we import various articles, we have been switching articles from CS2 over to CS1 for greater consistency in the corpus of 25,600 articles, but if we could shut off CS2 and force CS1, that would simplify some of that work. It would also allow us to shut off CS1 in the future and force the CMOS rendering wiki-wide. Imzadi 1979 → 22:29, 29 December 2024 (UTC)

To force cs1, search Module:Citation/CS1/Configuration for:

get_cs1_config (); -- fill <global_cs1_config_t>

on the following line add:

global_cs1_config_t='cs1'; -- force cs1 mode

Several years ago I attempted to add support for |mode=apa. That attempt was difficult and, in the end, a dismal failure. Likely |mode=cmos would be more of the same because every little tweak required for cmos must not break cs1|2 and t'other way round.

If you really, really, must have cmos, you might be better off rolling your own; no simple task that ...

That's kind of what I thought, although I was hoping that there was some module that contained the output instructions by mode/style and we could just code up the appropriate style. I've forced cs1 though, so thank you for that easy update. Imzadi 1979 → 00:01, 30 December 2024 (UTC)

Is there a similar code snippet that would force |name-list-style=amp? With a smaller corpus of articles from a single topic area, we started with a greater level of consistency from article to article since we really only had CS1 (with a few articles imported that used CS2 before the update), but it would be nice to make things very consistent overall.

Same place:

global_cs1_config_t='amp'; -- force |namelist-style=amp

Vancouver

Is there a way, similar to {{Use DMY dates}} to force cs1 templates to use vancouver style? Like {{Use CS1 Vancouver}}? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Headbomb (talk • contribs) 16:12, 4 January 2025 (UTC)

{{cs1 config|name-list-style=vanc}}

Do we mention cs1 config anywhere in the docs? I searched for it for quite a while. Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 16:27, 4 January 2025 (UTC)

I'm not aware of any such mentions.
