Segaretro-round.svg This template has been manually copied from Sega Retro, specifically Template:MagazineName
Technical restrictions prevent this template from being shared across multiple wikis. In the medium term, any changes should be made to the Sega Retro variant first, before manually copying the contents back here. As this is not an automatic process, this version of the template might also be out of date.

This template generates a full name for a magazine, given a name and an issue number (either a number or a date). This saves having to look up precise release dates of magazines, and should greatly speed up the creation of lists of articles.

Use

{{MagazineName|<name>|<issueno>|nomagname=|noissuename=|nopubdate=}}

By default this returns a long string - parts can be omitted using the |no(x) fields.

Examples
