Template:Page numbers improve/doc

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

Usage

This template is used when an article cites a book as a reference, as well as page numbers used, but the range of page numbers is too broad.

It supports an optional argument, which if specified, replaces the word "article"; for example, {{Page numbers improve|section}} can be used at the beginning of a section, or {{Page numbers improve|list}} can be used at the beginning of a list.

Note: This template is primarily useful for citations to books. In external style guides, the standard citation method for academic journal articles is to list the full page range for the whole article, although editors are free to

voluntarily establish a different citation style

in an individual Wikipedia article.
