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

Usage

The sfadb template message is usually displayed in the references section of a speculative fiction writer or artist's Wikipedia biography. It provides incomplete citation to the person's page in the Science Fiction Awards Database (SFADB).

SFADB succeeded The Locus Index to SF Awards in August 2012. Among other things SFADB provides a single index to person pages where the Locus Index (which remains online but is no longer updated) provides separate indexes of Art, Dramatic, and Literary Nominees.

Both databases cover many fantasy and horror awards as well as science fiction awards, so 'SF' may be considered short for speculative fiction.

Both databases are copyright Mark Kelly and Locus.

Parameters

1. (id) --required; the last component in the person page URL 2. (name) --optional; PAGENAME by default

Example

{{sfadb|Jane_Yolen|Jane Yolen}}
"Jane Yolen". Science Fiction Awards Database (sfadb.com). Mark R. Kelly and the Locus Science Fiction Foundation. 2012–2013.
