p = page pp = pages
- Notes
 
- The abbreviation Harv may be used.
 - The first parameter is the author's last name.
 - The second parameter is the year of publication.
 - The third parameter is the location of the cited material within the reference. This parameter is optional.
 - The parameter p is an optional page parameter (e.g., "{{ Harv | Smith | 2006 | p=25 }}" yields (Smith 2006, p. 25).
 - The parameter pp is an optional page range parameter (e.g., "{{ Harv | Smith | 2006 | pp=25-26 }}" yields (Smith 2006, pp. 25-26).
 
If Ref=none, then no hyperlink is created.
- To avoid the brackets surrounding the citation, use {{Harvard citation no brackets}} (or {{Harvnb}}).
