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

<ref>
{{cite web
| title=Title of page or thread
| url=http://blah.blah (required)
| work=Site name or description
| publisher=company name
| accessdate=date you looked at page in dd mmmm yyyy format
| author=Author Name (required)
| date=date of article dd mmmm yyyy format, e.g. 12 March 2013
| quote=snippet of pertinent text}}
</ref>

Known bugs

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