Template talk:Ludography cite
author attribution[edit]
As far as I can tell when citing an article the author of the article is not in the presented citation.

- Yes. This is a limitation of the current publication formatting. For magazines (and like publications), the authors of the individual articles are not captured in the underlying Cargo tables for use by the Template:Ludography cite. So it currently defaults to the editor of the issue. There is an experiment to fix this (see Challenge 25) but it doesn't currently work to my satisfaction. There are issues with caching that make it look terrible on creation/updates. Tjoneslo (talk) 17:57, 23 June 2020 (EDT)
- I assumed something like that. Poor old {{ludography cite}} is overloaded, books, games, magazines, software, who knows what else. Too soon for me to see a better way. —¿philoserf? (talk) 18:19, 23 June 2020 (EDT)
