Template documentation

Usage

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

Not all fields are required.

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

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

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

<ref>
{{cite web
| title       = <!-- Title of page or thread -->
| url         = <!-- http://blah.blah (required) -->
| work        = <!-- Site name or description -->
| publisher   = <!-- Publisher's company name -->
| accessdate  = <!-- date you looked at page, in d mmmm yyyy format, e.g. 2 March 2013 -->
| author      = <!-- Author's name (required) -->
| date        = <!-- date of article, in d mmmm yyyy format, e.g. 2 March 2013 -->
| quote       = <!-- snippet of pertinent text -->
}}
</ref> 

Known bugs

  • If author isn't specified, then date will not be shown.
