Referencing textbooks

There are a set of templates for citing textbooks.

An example of how one is used:

{{Ref Robbins8|123}}

Where:

Ref Robbins8 is the name of the template (found at Template:Ref PBoD8)
123 is the page number in that reference

The result is the following:

Kumar, Vinay; Abbas, Abul K.; Fausto, Nelson; Aster, Jon (2009). Robbins and Cotran pathologic basis of disease (8th ed.). Elsevier Saunders. pp. 123. ISBN 978-1416031215.

Redirecting reference templates

One can redirect templates like regular pages.

So:

{{Ref PBoD8|123}}

and...

{{Ref Robbins8|123}}

Both generate the same thing:

Kumar, Vinay; Abbas, Abul K.; Fausto, Nelson; Aster, Jon (2009). Robbins and Cotran pathologic basis of disease (8th ed.). Elsevier Saunders. pp. 123. ISBN 978-1416031215.

If you want a template for another textbook feel free to try creating one or leave a message on Michael's talk page.
