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.

<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
