User:Underscorre/PD Header

Documentation
This template is part of an effort to standardise the presentation of published horror stories which have entered the public domain due to the death of the author being >70 years ago. This should be placed at the top of pastas by classic horror authors.

Usage
This template only requires one parameter - the author's name. The story title is inferred from the name of the page. So writing  on the page The Shadow Over Innsmouth would produce the following:


 * The Shadow Over Innsmouth


 * by H. P. Lovecraft 

There are a number of optional parameters to the template. You can set  equal to the date when the pasta was originally published. If you wish to use a different title to the page name, you can use the  parameter. You can set  to   if you copied the story from Wikisource. The template will try to guess the name of the article on wikisource, but you can explicitly set the name of the page at Wikisource using the  parameter. You can also set  to true to disable the horizontal rule at the bottom. So this:  on the page The Shadow Over Innsmouth would produce the following:


 * Alternative Title (originally published 1936)


 * by H. P. Lovecraft 
 * Story copied from Wikisource
