Documentation

This template formats a citation for a resource found on the web. If that resource is reasonably described as an "article", then please use the more specific Template:Cite article instead.

Although this template was "inspired by" the corresponding citation template at Wikipedia,^↗ it cannot do nearly as many things.

This template calls Template:Authordatecite and Template:Titlecite to do some of the work. See those templates for additional relevant documentation.

Usage

• {{cite web|url= |title= |author= |first= |last= |date= |website= |lang= |trans-title= |trans-url= |local= |accessed=}}

Either author or first/last should be used, but not both.

Examples

• {{cite web|url=//example.com/|title=Title|author=Author|date=Date|website=Website|accessed=AD}}
  ⇒ Author (Date). Title^↗. Website. Accessed AD.
• {{cite web|url=//example.com/|title=Title|date=Date|website=Website}}
