Parameters

Currently all parameters are required

* {{mb|ID |Title |Author |Date}}
* {{mb| id = ID | Mises Blog article title = Title | author name = Author | date = Date}}

Detailed instructions

  1. Copy and paste the syntax above into the Mises Wiki article
  2. Go to http://Mises.org and search for the Blog article you want (say, "Defining Inflation"; you'll see a list of all parts of the site that point to that title.)
  3. Hover your mouse pointer over the hyperlinks and find the one that has "blog.mises.org/" in the URL: http://blog.mises.org/4212/
  4. Once you find that page, you'll need to copy that number that comes after ".org/".
  5. You can click that link and go to the page and and copy the number from the address bar in your browser, or alternatively you can right-click (or ctrl+click on a Mac) on the hyperlink and "Copy link location" to your clipboard.
  6. Copy only that number (here, we're using "4212")
  7. Replace "ID" with the number and "Title" with "Inflation and Supply-Side Economics" (note: there is no need for the quotes) and "Author" with Stefan Karlsson (note: you can hyperlink this part, preferably to the Mises Wiki article for the author) and "Date with October 2005"
    * {{mb|4212|Inflation and Supply-Side Economics|[[Stefan Karlsson]]|October 2005}} results in:


If you still have any doubts or questions about the use of the template, you can ask at User talk:John James.

Future development

  • Allow for only three parameters (ID, Title, Date) for sections with many articles by the same author, like here.
