Template:Citation Style documentation/pages


 * page: The number of a single page in the source that supports the content. Use either page or pages, but not both. Displays preceded by . If hyphenated, use hyphen to indicate this is intentional (e.g. 312), otherwise several editors and semi-automated tools will assume this was a misuse of the parameter to indicate a page range and will convert 3-12 to 3–12.
 * OR: pages: A range of pages in the source that supports the content. Use either page or pages, but not both. Separate using an en dash (–); separate non-sequential pages with a comma ; do not use to indicate the total number of pages in the source. Displays preceded by . Hyphens are automatically converted to en dashes; if hyphens are appropriate because individual page numbers contain hyphens, for example: pp. 3-1–3-15, use double parentheses to tell the template to display the value of pages without processing it, and use hyphen to indicate to editors that a hyphen is really intended: ((31–315)). Alternatively, use at, like this: pp. 3-1&amp;ndash;3-15.


 * OR: at: For sources where a page number is inappropriate or insufficient. Overridden by page or pages. Use only one of page, pages, or at.
 * Examples: page (p.) or pages (pp.); section (sec.), column (col.), paragraph (para.); track; hours, minutes and seconds; act, scene, canto, book, part, folio, stanza, back cover, liner notes, indicia, colophon, dust jacket, verse.
