The HarvardReferences extension allows to use the author-date ("Harvard system") referencing style, e.g. Smith 2008:1

Referencing systems

There is common scientific standard (Harvard referencing system).

The two most common types of referencing systems used are:

• author-date systems — such as the Harvard system, APA and MLA
• numerical systems — such as Chicago or Turabian, Vancouver and Footnote [1]

This MediaWiki extension implements an author-date (Harvard) system.

Working example

Description

This extension supports Author-date ("Harvard system") referencing style, e.g. Smith 2008:1, as commonly used standard in scientific literature.

• Link - in square brackets:

  [Smith 2008]
  

• Anchor to link -

  [*Smith 2008]
  

Compatibility with Cite.php

This extension is compatible with Extension:Cite/Cite.php - links in both systems can be used in same article. Moreover, links in "Harvard" system can be inserted into description of ref-link, and vice versa. For example,

<ref>This is a test subnote. [Smith 2010:21]</ref>

Example

==Example of Harvard References==
According to scientists, the Sun is pretty big.[Miller 2005]
The Moon, however, is not so big.[Smith 1978:121] 

===Notes===
* [*Miller 2005] E. Miller, The Sun, (New York: Academic Press, 2005), 23-5.
* [*Smith 1978] R. Smith, "Size of the Moon", Scientific American, 46 (April 1978): 44-6.
<HarvardReferences />

Page numbers in references

Optional page numbers can be used after ":" symbol in link. Several links with one name and different page numbers can refer to one anchor. For example,

[Smith 2008:121]

[Smith 2008:51]

refers to one anchor with same name:

[*Smith 2008]

You may use "|" instead of ":" as a separator.

Setup

Extension was tested on 1.15.3 version of MediaWiki.

To install this extension, make HarvardReferences.php (source code is below) in folder extensions/HarvardReferences.

Then write

require_once("$IP/extensions/HarvardReferences/HarvardReferences.php");

in bottom of file LocalSettings.php.

If you want extended highlighting, you can use additional JS and CSS written for this extension, see Extension:HarvardReferences/Scripts. This will provide your wiki with highlighting of the references and backlinks. These scripts also allow user to change their appearance.

Switching on

To enable this advanced syntax globally, put

 $wgHarvardReferencesOn = true;

right after the "require_once" line.

Or, if it wasn't done, you may use tag <HarvardReferences/> (anywhere in the article text) to enable this extension on a per-page basis.
