==Using cite web on other Mediawiki installations== |
|||
If you want to use 'cite web' on another Mediawiki site, for example at wikia.com or at referata.com, you probably want to edit your <nowiki>http://yoursite.whatever.org/wiki/Mediawiki:common.css</nowiki> file to match the cite styles at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mediawiki:common.css . Easiest is to just copy the whole file. But if you don't want that, you probably want to add the following: |
|||
<blockquote> |
|||
<tt> |
|||
<pre> |
|||
/* Styling for citations */ |
|||
span.citation, cite { |
|||
font-style: normal; |
|||
word-wrap: break-word; |
|||
} |
|||
/* For linked citation numbers and document IDs, where |
|||
the number need not be shown on a screen or a handheld, |
|||
but should be included in the printed version |
|||
*/ |
|||
@media screen, handheld { |
|||
span.citation *.printonly { |
|||
display: none; |
|||
} |
|||
} |
|||
</pre> |
|||
</tt> |
|||
</blockquote> |
|||
The reason? If you don't, every URL will show up twice in your <references> or {{reflist}} section, because it think's it is printing on paper, and when it prints on paper, it prints out the entire URL. |

This is a documentation subpage for Template:Terminate sentence It contains usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page. |
This template is used to cite online sources in Wikipedia articles. {{Cite news}} can also be used when citing a news source; for general information about citations in Wikipedia articles, see Wikipedia:Cite sources. A general discussion of the use of templates for adding citations to Wikipedia articles is available at Wikipedia:Citation templates.
Usage[edit source]
Note: None of the parameters should be capitalised, in order to avoid the article being tagged as having a broken citation. For example, use "url", "title", etc. - not "URL", "Title", etc.
Common forms with authors in any format[edit source]
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 three separate date formats that are commonly used in Wikipedia:
- Day Month Year
{{cite web |url= |title= |author= |date= |work= |publisher= |accessdate=18 May 2024}}
- Month Day, Year
{{cite web |url= |title= |author= |date= |work= |publisher= |accessdate=May 18, 2024}}
- YYYY-MM-DD
{{cite web |url= |title= |author= |date= |work= |publisher= |accessdate=2024-05-18}}
Common forms with last1, first1; last2, first2[edit source]
The examples below will suffice for up to two authors each with first and last names; for more, just create more parameters in a similar style:
- Day Month Year
{{cite web |url= |title= |last1= |first1= |last2= |first2= |date= |work= |publisher= |accessdate=18 May 2024}}
- Month Day, Year
{{cite web |url= |title= |last1= |first1= |last2= |first2= |date= |work= |publisher= |accessdate=May 18, 2024}}
- YYYY-MM-DD
{{cite web |url= |title= |last1= |first1= |last2= |first2= |date= |work= |publisher= |accessdate=2024-05-18}}
All parameters[edit source]
When copying all parameters in either the vertical or horizontal layouts, delete those which are not needed.
- All parameters, horizontal layout
{{cite web |url= |title= |first= |last= |author= |authorlink= |coauthors= |date= |month= |year= |work= |publisher= |location= |page= |pages= |at= |language= |trans_title= |format= |doi= |archiveurl= |archivedate= |accessdate= |quote= |ref= |separator= |postscript= }}
- All parameters, vertical layout
{{cite web | url = | title = | first = | last = | author = | authorlink = | coauthors = | date = | month = | year = | work = | publisher = | location = | page = | pages = | at = | language = | trans_title = | format = | doi = | archiveurl = | archivedate = | accessdate = | quote = | ref = | separator = | postscript = }}
Required parameters[edit source]
- url: URL of online item. Start the url with the communications protocol, e.g. http://.
- title: Title of online item. This title will appear as the citation itself, hyperlinked to the URL.
Optional parameters[edit source]
- author parameters
- author
- last works with first to produce
last, first
- authorlink works either with author or with last & first to link to the appropriate wikipedia article. Does not work with URLs.
- last1, first1, ..., last9, first9 and optionally authorlink1, ..., authorlink9 for specifying more authors (note: last1, first1 and authorlink1 are synonyms for last, first and authorlink, so use either last1 or last, not both)
- coauthors: alternate way of specifying additional authors
- a date parameter
- either date: Full date of publication. Should not be wikilinked.
- or year: Year of publication, and month: Name of the month of publication. If you also have the day, use date instead. Should not be wikilinked.
- format: Format, e.g. PDF. HTML implied if not specified.
- work: If this item is part of a larger "work", such as a book, periodical or website, write the name of that work. Do not italicize; the software will do so automatically.
- publisher: Publisher, if any—for example if the website is hosted by a government service, educational institution, or company. (The publisher is not usually the name of the website, that is usually the work).
- location: Geographical place of publication.
- a page parameter
- either page: Page number if a multi-page web article and referencing a single page. "page=5" produces p. 5.
- or pages: Page numbers if a multi-page web article and referencing more than one page. "pages=5–7" produces pp. 5–7. This is for listing the pages relevant to the citation, not a total number of pages.
- or at: When the page prefix is unwanted. "at=Table 5" produces Table 5.
- language: language of publication (don't specify "English" as this is the default).
- trans_title: A translated title of the article, in case the original title is in a foreign language. Would normally be used in conjunction with the 'language' parameter.
- doi: A digital object identifier for the document, such as 10.1038/news070508-7
- archive parameters (if used, must be used both of them together)
- archiveurl: The URL of an archived copy of the page, if (or in case) the url becomes unavailable. Typically used to refer to services like WebCite and Archive.org.
- archivedate: Date when the item was archived. Should not be wikilinked.
- accessdate: Full date when item was accessed. Should not be wikilinked. This should be given if the publication date is unknown; see Citation styles.
- quote: Relevant quote from online item.
- ref: ID for anchor. By default, no anchor is generated. The ordinary nonempty value
|ref=ID
generates an anchor with the givenID
; such a linkable reference can be made the target of wikilinks to full references, especially useful in short citations like shortened notes and parenthetical referencing. The special value|ref=harv
generates an anchor suitable for the {{harv}} template; see anchors for Harvard referencing templates. - separator / postscript: The punctuation to use between fields / at the end of the citation
Duplicate periods[edit source]
By default, {{cite web}} separates some fields with periods, so don't encode those fields ending with a period or a duplicate period will be added. Example: "publisher=Camelot, Inc" will correctly show as Camelot, Inc.
but "publisher=Camelot, Inc." will incorrectly show as Camelot, Inc..

The reason? If you don't, every URL will show up twice in your <references> or {{reflist}} section, because it think's it is printing on paper, and when it prints on paper, it prints out the entire URL.
