This template is a variation of the German WP template "Vorlage:Literatur" and is designed to speed translation by enabling references and sources created using the German template to be displayed in an equivalent manner in English Wikipedia without major amendment.

Beware that newer parameters added to the German WP template might not be supported yet. Also, any misspelled parameters will be omitted and not reported as errors.
