This [[Wikipedia:Template namespace|template]] is used to cite online sources in Wikipedia articles. {{tl|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 citation of open-source web contentcitations to Wikipedia articles is available at [[Wikipedia:Citation templates]].
 
== Usage ==
Line 12:
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 {{para|author|<var>authors</var>}} parameter, using any format. Also shown below are three separate date formats that are commonly used in Wikipedia:
 
;YYYY-MM-DDDay Month Year: <code><nowiki>{{Citecite web |url= |title= |author= |date= |work= |publisher= |accessdate=</nowiki>{{#time: j F Y-m-d }}<nowiki> }}</nowiki></code>
 
;Day Month Day, Year: <code><nowiki>{{Citecite web |url= |title= |author= |date= |work= |publisher= |accessdate=</nowiki>{{#time: F j F, Y }}<nowiki> }}</nowiki></code>
 
;Month Day, YearYYYY-MM-DD: <code><nowiki>{{Citecite web |url= |title= |author= |date= |work= |publisher= |accessdate=</nowiki>{{#time: F j, Y-m-d }}<nowiki> }}</nowiki></code>
 
=== Common forms with last1, first1; last2, first2 ===
Line 22:
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:
 
;YYYY-MM-DDDay Month Year: <code><nowiki>{{Citecite web |last1url= |urltitle= |titlelast1= |first1= |last2= |first2= |date= |work= |publisher= |accessdate=</nowiki>{{#time: j F Y-m-d }}<nowiki> }}</nowiki></code>
 
;Day Month Day, Year: <code><nowiki>{{Citecite web |url= |title= |last1= |first1= |last2= |first2= |date= |work= |publisher= |accessdate=</nowiki>{{#time: F j F, Y }}<nowiki> }}</nowiki></code>
 
;Month Day, YearYYYY-MM-DD: <code><nowiki>{{Citecite web |url= |title= |last1= |first1= |last2= |first2= |date= |work= |publisher= |accessdate=</nowiki>{{#time: F j, Y-m-d }}<nowiki> }}</nowiki></code>
 
=== All parameters ===
Line 32:
When copying all parameters in either the vertical or horizontal layouts, delete those which are not needed.
 
;All parameters, horizontal layout: <code><nowiki>{{Citecite web |url= |title= |first= |last= |author= |authorlink= |coauthors= |workdate= |publishermonth= |locationyear= |pagework= |pagespublisher= |languagelocation= |trans_titlepage= |formatpages= |doiat= |datelanguage= |monthtrans_title= |yearformat= |doi= |archiveurl= |archivedate= |accessdate= |quote= |ref= |separator= |postscript= }}</nowiki></code>

==== Optional parameters ====
 
*''' author''': Authorparameters
** '''author
**'''last''' works with '''first''' to produce <code>last, first</code>
** '''authorlinklast''' works either with '''authorfirst''' orto withproduce '''<code>last''', & '''first''' to link to the appropriate wikipedia article. Does not work with URLs.</code>
** '''authorlink''' works either with '''author''' or with '''last''' & '''first''' to link to the appropriate wikipedia article. Does not work with URLs.
**'''coauthors''': allows additional authors
** '''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)
* a date parameter:
** '''coauthors''': allowsalternate 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'''). If the publisher cannot be found on the site, try [[whois]]. For self-published works, e.g. blogs, use <code>self-published<code>.
**'''location''': Geographical place of publication.
* a page parameter
*'''pages''': ''pp. 5–7'': first page and optional last page. This is for listing the pages relevant to the citation, not the total number of pages in the book.<!-- COmmentedout:notimplemented in the template! This is especially useful for [[PDF]] format, where the page can be linked to with the <code>#page=''number''</code> anchor tagged on the end of the URL:
** ''either'' '''page''': Page number if a multi-page web article and referencing a single page. "page=5" produces ''p. 5.''
** ''or'pages' '': 'pages'pp. 5–7'': firstPage numbers if a multi-page web article and optionalreferencing more than lastone page. "pages=5–7" produces ''pp. 5–7''. This is for listing the pages relevant to the citation, not thea total number of pages in the book.<!-- COmmentedoutCommented out:notimplemented Not implemented in the template! This is especially useful for [[PDF]] format, where the page can be linked to with the <code>#page=''number''</code> anchor tagged on the end of the URL:
*:<code><nowiki>pages = [http://www.example.org/file.pdf#page=123 p. 123]</nowiki></code>-->
** ''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.
Line 93 ⟶ 99:
** '''archiveurl''': The URL of an [[Web archiving|archived]] copy of the page, if (or in case) the url becomes unavailable. Typically used to refer to services like [[WebCite]] and [[Internet Archive|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 ''[[WP:CITEHOW|Citation styles]]''.
*'''quote''': Relevant quote from online item.
*'''ref''': ID for anchor. By default, no anchor is generated. The ordinary nonempty value {{para|ref|<var>ID</var>}} generates an anchor with the given <code><var>ID</var></code>; such a linkable reference can be made the target of [[Wikipedia:Citing sources/Further considerations #Wikilinks to full references|wikilinks to full references]], especially useful in short citations like [[Wikipedia:Citing sources #Shortened footnotes|shortened notes]] and [[Wikipedia:Parenthetical referencing|parenthetical referencing]]. The special value {{para|ref|harv}} generates an anchor suitable for the {{tl|harv}} template; see ''[[Template:Citation/doc #Anchors for Harvard referencing templates|anchors for Harvard referencing templates]]''.
Line 100 ⟶ 106:
==== Duplicate periods ====
 
By default, {{tl|Citecite web}} separates some fields with periods, so don't encode athose fieldfields ending with a period or a duplicate period will be added. Example: "publisher=Camelot, Inc" will correctly show as <code>Camelot, Inc.</code> but "publisher=Camelot, Inc." will incorrectly show as <code>Camelot, Inc..</code>

==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 &lt;references&gt; or &#123;&#123;reflist&#125;&#125; section, because it think's it is printing on paper, and when it prints on paper, it prints out the entire URL.
