Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

Audience

People looking at airport, airline or aviation-related pages on wikipedia. You are likely
- Adding a reference / citation from the OAG Worldwide paper timetable to English-language wikipedia (most common use case)
or
- Aiming to understand what the OAGWorldMonthYearRef templates are all about

Purpose:

Unlike Template:OAGWorldRef, this is a template focussed on a specific month and year of the paper copy OAG Worldwide Timetable, namely for August 2025. Yes, using this template on a wikipage directly makes sense. The aim is to fill in not just what the Template:OAGWorldRef template fills in for you, but also August 2025 specific fields as well.

How to use

Required Fields

See the example below for sample data to go in each field.
Title - the The name, country and IATA airport code of the city (not the airport) being referenced as specified in the specific edition of the paper OAG World Timetable. This will match the title of the section in the paper timetable. Where a city has only a single airport, use the IATA code for the airport. Where an IATA code does not exist, use the ICAO code - i.e. |title=
Pages - the page number, either as a single number or a range - i.e. |pages=

Field Ordering
