===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 ===
'''Title''' and '''Pages''' can be in any order.

=== Fields Automatically filled in for you ===
'''Date''' (|date=August 2025)
 '''Volume''' (|volume=27)
 '''Issue''' (|issue=2)
 '''Journal''' (|journal=OAG Fight Guide Worldwide)
 '''Publisher''' (|publisher=[[[OAG (company)|OAG Aviation Worldwide Limited]])
 '''Publication Place''' (|publication-place=Luton, United Kingdom)
 '''ISSN''' (|issn=1466-8718)
 '''OCLC''' (|oclc=41608313)
 '''Author''' (|author = <nowiki></nowiki>)
 '''Lanaguage''' (|language=en - i.e. English)

== Example ==
=== Previously ===
'''You might have written:'''
 <nowiki><ref></nowiki> <nowiki>{{Cite journal</nowiki> <nowiki>| title = Eindhoven, Netherlands EIN</nowiki> <nowiki>| pages = 347-349</nowiki> <nowiki>| date = August 2025</nowiki> <nowiki>| volume = 27</nowiki> <nowiki>| issue = 2</nowiki> <nowiki>| journal = OAG Flight Guide Worldwide</nowiki> <nowiki>| publisher = [[OAG (company)|OAG Aviation Worldwide Limited]]</nowiki> <nowiki>| publication-place = Luton, United Kingdom</nowiki> <nowiki>| issn = 1466-8718</nowiki> <nowiki>| oclc = 41608313</nowiki> <nowiki>| language = en</nowiki> <nowiki>| author = </nowiki> }}<nowiki></nowiki> <nowiki></ref></nowiki>
 This reference will be displayed to a wikipedia reader as:
 {{Cite journal| title = Eindhoven, Netherlands EIN| pages = 347-349| date = August 2025| volume = 27| issue = 2| journal = OAG Flight Guide Worldwide| publisher = [[OAG (company)|OAG Aviation Worldwide Limited]]| publication-place = Luton, United Kingdom| issn = 1466-8718| oclc = 41608313| language = en| author = }}

=== Now ===
'''You can type the shorter:'''
 <nowiki><ref></nowiki> <nowiki>{{OAGWorldAug2025Ref</nowiki> <nowiki>| title = Eindhoven, Netherlands EIN</nowiki> <nowiki>| pages = 347-349</nowiki> }}<nowiki></nowiki> <nowiki></ref></nowiki>
 This reference will be displayed to a wikipedia reader as:
 {{OAGWorldAug2025Ref | title = Eindhoven, Netherlands EIN| pages = 347-349}}

=== Result ===
But the two references display the same way ? Yes - that's the point. They are meant to be the same.

=== Benefit ===
As far as a wikipedia reader is concerned - the 2 references look exactly the same, and contain exactly the same content, but there is less for you to type, and less risk of you making a typing error on 9 of the fields.

=== FAQ ===
1. Do I have to use OAGWorldAug2025Ref? No - but using it may save you a bit of typing and will fill in fields for you.
