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

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= |work= |publisher= |accessdate=24 February 2012}}

Month Day, Year

{{cite web |url= |title= |author= |date= |work= |publisher= |accessdate=February 24, 2012}}

All parameters

When copying all parameters delete those which are not needed.

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