Template:BBC composer page/doc

This is a documentation subpage for Template:BBC composer page. It may contain usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page.

This template is a Citation Style 1 wrapper template based on {{Cite web}}. For centralised Citation Style 1 discussions, see Help talk:Citation Style 1.

For links to content-rich pages about composers in the BBC Radio 3 archives.

This template has three parameters, the first mandatory; the others optional:

1. |id= – BBC composer page URL slug; for example, for http://bbc.co.uk/tchaikovsky, enter tchaikovsky
2. |title= – composer name, in a form suitable as link text (defaults to page name)
3. |access-date= – for use in citations

The markup:

• {{BBC composer page|tchaikovsky|Tchaikovsky}}

renders as:

• "Discovering Tchaikovsky". BBC Radio 3.

Note that the canonical BBC composer URLs such as http://bbc.co.uk/tchaikovsky redirect to pages whose URLs use a BBC Programme Identifier (PID), such as https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p01nbg53

Linking to the former type is preferable; see talk page for a list of URLs supplied by the BBC.

• {{BBC programme}} – for links to individual programme pages
