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-DD: <code><nowiki>{{cite web |url= |title= |author= |date= |work= |publisher= |accessdate=</nowiki>{{#time: Y-m-d }}<nowiki>}}</nowiki></code>
 
;Day Month Year: <code><nowiki>{{cite web |url= |title= |author= |date= |work= |publisher= |accessdate=</nowiki>{{#time: j F Y }}<nowiki>}}</nowiki></code>
 
;Month Day, Year: <code><nowiki>{{cite web |url= |title= |author= |date= |work= |publisher= |accessdate=</nowiki>{{#time: F j, Y }}<nowiki>}}</nowiki></code>
 
;YYYY-MM-DD: <code><nowiki>{{cite web |url= |title= |author= |date= |work= |publisher= |accessdate=</nowiki>{{#time: Y-m-d }}<nowiki>}}</nowiki></code>
 
=== Common forms with last1, first1; last2, first2 ===
 
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-DD: <code><nowiki>{{cite web |url= |title= |last1= |first1= |last2= |first2= |date= |work= |publisher= |accessdate=</nowiki>{{#time: Y-m-d }}<nowiki>}}</nowiki></code>
 
;Day Month Year: <code><nowiki>{{cite web |url= |title= |last1= |first1= |last2= |first2= |date= |work= |publisher= |accessdate=</nowiki>{{#time: j F Y }}<nowiki>}}</nowiki></code>
 
;Month Day, Year: <code><nowiki>{{cite web |url= |title= |last1= |first1= |last2= |first2= |date= |work= |publisher= |accessdate=</nowiki>{{#time: F j, Y }}<nowiki>}}</nowiki></code>
 
;YYYY-MM-DD: <code><nowiki>{{cite web |url= |title= |last1= |first1= |last2= |first2= |date= |work= |publisher= |accessdate=</nowiki>{{#time: Y-m-d }}<nowiki>}}</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''').
**'''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.<!-- Commented out: 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:
Line 97 ⟶ 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]]''.

==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.
