Template:Cite web

Template documentation

This template is used to cite Web-based sources. It works similarly to Wikipedia's Template:Cite web. But it accepts fewer parameters and is much less polished.

This template accepts the following parameters. All parameter names must be in lowercase.

• author
• date
• url (required)
• title (required)
• work
• publisher
• at
• accessdate
• quote

Format

When writing articles, you can use the cite web template to generate footnotes with consistent styling and information. Not all fields are required.
