The following template description is not displayed when the template is inserted in an article.

Goal

This template is used to cite online sources in wiki articles.

Usage

Copyable examples with pre-filled accessdate

Citations within a page should use consistent formats. However, there is no consensus about which format is best. The following examples are for citations where one or more authors are listed in a single |author=authors parameter, using any format. Also shown below are two separate date formats that are commonly used:

Day Month Year

{{cite web |url= |title= |author= |date= |publisher= |accessdate=28 March 2024}}

Month Day, Year

{{cite web |url= |title= |author= |date= |publisher= |accessdate=March 28, 2024}}

Day Month Year, all parameters

{{cite web |url= |title= |first= |last= |author= |authorlink= |coauthors= |date= |month= |year= |work= |publisher= |page= |pages= |language= |format= |id= |archiveurl= |archivedate= |accessdate=28 March 2024|quote= }}

Month Day, Year, all parameters

{{cite web |url= |title= |first= |last= |author= |authorlink= |coauthors= |date= |month= |year= |work= |publisher= |page= |pages= |language= |format= |id= |archiveurl= |archivedate= |accessdate=March 28, 2024|quote= }}
