…<noinclude>[[Category:Incomplete template documentation]]</noinclude>

=== Usage ===

* {{tc-var|cite by URL|URL}}
* {{tc-var|cite by URL|URL|add={{pn|accessed|local}}}}

Note that the {{tpvv|URL}} should '''not''' start with <code>https://</code> or <code>//</code>, and should only start with <code>http://</code> if that's the only way the resource can be accessed (not true of any supported URL thus far).

=== Examples ===

* {{tc|cite by URL|americansongwriter.com/million-miles-angelina-jordan-song-interview/|accessed{{=}}2020-11-09}}<br />⇓<br />{{cite by URL|americansongwriter.com/million-miles-angelina-jordan-song-interview/|accessed=2020-11-09}}
* {{tc|cite by URL|americansongwriter.com/million-miles-angelina-jordan-song-interview/|accessed{{=}}2020-11-09|local{{=}}y}}<br />⇓<br />{{cite by URL|americansongwriter.com/million-miles-angelina-jordan-song-interview/|accessed=2020-11-09|local=y}}

==== Bad calls ====

* {{tc|cite by URL}} ⇒ {{cite by URL|nocat=y}}<!-- nocat so this page won't be placed in tracking category -->
* {{tc|cite by URL{{!}}}} ⇒ {{cite by URL||nocat=y}}
* {{tc|cite by URL|foo}} ⇒ {{cite by URL|foo|nocat=y}}
