sources in Wikipedia articles. {{Cite news}} can also be used when citing a news source; for general information about citations in Wikipedia articles, see

Common forms with authors in any format

adiht

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=25 Blotmonað 2024}}
Month Day, Year
{{cite web |url= |title= |author= |date= |work= |publisher= |accessdate=Blotmonað 25, 2024}}
YYYY-MM-DD
{{cite web |url= |title= |author= |date= |work= |publisher= |accessdate=2024-11-25}}

Common forms with last1, first1; last2, first2

adiht

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=25 Blotmonað 2024}}
Month Day, Year
{{cite web |url= |title= |last1= |first1= |last2= |first2= |date= |work= |publisher= |accessdate=Blotmonað 25, 2024}}
YYYY-MM-DD
{{cite web |url= |title= |last1= |first1= |last2= |first2= |date= |work= |publisher= |accessdate=2024-11-25<now>}}</
All parameters, horizontal lay{{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= }}

Optional parameters


    
adiht






* 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
**Doilabel: If the doi contains some characters that must be escaped, use "doilabel" for the unescaped version. See {{doi}}: "id" is equivalent to "doi" and "label" is "doilabel"
* 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 given ID; 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


    
adiht






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..
