<!-- PLEASE ADD CATEGORIES AND INTERWIKIS AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS PAGE -->

<p>This [[w:Help:Citation Style 1|Citation Style 1]] [[w:Wikipedia:Template namespace|template]] is used to create [[w:Wikipedia:CITE|citations]] for web sources that are not characterized by another CS1 template.</p>

<p>[[w:Template:Cite news|Cite news]] can also be used when citing a news source; for general information about citations in Wikipedia articles, see [[w:Wikipedia:Cite sources|Wikipedia:Cite sources]]. A general discussion of the use of templates for adding citations to Wikipedia articles is available at [[w:Wikipedia:Citation templates|Wikipedia:Citation templates]].</p>

==Usage==
<p>'''''Note''''': None of the parameters should be capitalised, in order to avoid the article being tagged as having a broken citation. For example, use "url", "title", etc. - not "URL", "Title", etc.</p>
<p>Copy a blank version to use. All parameter names must be in lowercase. Use the "|" (pipe) character between each parameter. Delete unused parameters to avoid clutter in the edit window. Some samples may include the current date. If the date is not current, then purge the page.</p>

===Parameters===
====Required parameters====
*'''url''': URL of online item. Start the url with the communications protocol, e.g. <nowiki>http://</nowiki>.
*'''title''': Title of online item.  This title will appear as the citation itself, hyperlinked to the URL. Certain characters must be replaced with their [[w:HTML decimal character rendering|HTML numeric reference]] to be used in the title. The character "'''['''" must be replaced with "&amp;#91;", "''']'''" with "&amp;#93;", and "'''&#124;'''" (vertical bar) with "&amp;#124;".

====Optional parameters====
*author parameters
**'''author'''  Use if specific individuals (rather than large organizations) are named as writing the page.  Use the '''publisher''' field to report the organization that controls the website.
**'''last''' works with '''first''' to produce <code>last, first</code>
**'''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)
*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''': In most cases this is the name of the website (as usually given in the logo/banner area of the site), otherwise the site's domain name (without the leading "www." part). If the titled item being cited is part of some other larger work, such as a book, periodical or organizational sub-site (e.g., the law school's section of a university's website system), it is usually better to use the name of that more specific work than that of the entire site. Do not italicize; the software will do so automatically.
*'''publisher''': The name of the entity that publishes (owns or controls) the website.  Commonly, this is a government agency, educational institution, or business.  For many websites, the author and publisher are the same, and only one needs to be included in the citation; prefer publisher for organizations, author (or first/last) for individuals.  Please note that ''publisher is not the name of the website''; that is the '''work''', except in cases where the business name is identical to the site name.  For example, the corporation [[w:Walmart|Walmart]] is the publisher of the website at walmart.com, which is the work; [[w:Amazon.com|Amazon.com]] is the publisher of the website at amazon.com, which need not be specified as the work, as this would be redundant. For republished works, generally use the original publisher information (including location, date, etc., and it is often more appropriate to use {{tl|cite book}}, {{tl|cite news}}, etc. with a {{para|url}} parameter instead of of {{tnull|cite web}}).
**'''location''': Geographical location of the publisher (or headquarters thereof).
*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 [[w:PDF|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 (do not 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.
*'''arxiv''':
*'''asin''':
*'''bibcode''': The document's [[w:bibcode|bibcode]] in the [[w:Astrophysics Data System|Astrophysics Data System]], e.g., ''1924MNRAS..84..308E''
*'''doi''':A [[w:digital object identifier|digital object identifier]] for the document, such as ''<nowiki>10.1038/news070508-7</nowiki>''
**'''Doilabel''': If the doi contains some characters that must be [[w:Percent-encoding|escaped]], use "doilabel" for the unescaped version. See {{tl|doi}}: "id" is equivalent to "doi" and "label" is "doilabel"
**'''doibroken''': The date that a digital object identifier link was found to be broken.
*'''isbn''': [[w:International Standard Book Number|International Standard Book Number]] such as ''1-111-22222-9''.  Note that {{para|isbn}}, like all field names, must be in lowercase. The field must not be wikilinked as the template automatically creates a link. The template is insensitive to formatting so an ISBN number without dashes ("-") may be used (e.g. {{para|isbn|1111222229}}), though ISBNs with correctly formatted dashes are preferred (see [[w:Wikipedia:ISBN|Wikipedia:ISBN]] and [[w:ISBN#Overview|ISBN]]). Please use the 13-digit ISBN where possible; this can normally be found beneath the barcode as a number beginning 978 or 979. For books with the older SBN system (9 digits), use this field but prefix the number with a zero; thus ''ISBN 902888-45-5'' should be entered as {{para|isbn|0-902888-45-5}}.  More information about this feature and its advantages is available at [[w:Wikipedia:ISBN|Wikipedia:ISBN]].
*'''issn''': The publication's [[w:International Standard Serial Number|International Standard Serial Number]] such as ''1111-2220''. The eight-figure ISSN may be split into two groups of four using a [[w:hyphen|hyphen]]; but not an [[w:Dash#En dash|N-dash]] or a space. <!-- space separates URL from linkable text; n-dash is not recognised by WorldCat -->
*'''jfm''':
*'''jstor''': Makes a link to a [[w:JSTOR|JSTOR]] article or journal determined by a given parameter. The main purpose is to use as part of an <code>id</code> option in a {{tl|cite journal}} reference.
*'''lccn''':
*'''mr''':
*'''oclc''': [[w:Online Computer Library Center|Online Computer Library Center]] ID number, such as ''3185581''. The field must not be wikilinked as the template automatically creates a link.
*'''ol''':
*'''osti''':
*'''pmc''': The document's [[w:PubMed Central|PubMed Central]] article number (PMCID) for full-text free repository of an article, such as  ''246835''
**'''embargo''': The date that an article will be freely accessible at PubMed central.  After this date, the title will automatically link to the free full text at PubMed Central (and the parameter will be removed by [[w:User:Citation bot|a bot]]).
*'''pmid''': The document's [[w:PMID|PubMed Unique Identifier]], such as ''15128012''
*'''rfc''':
*'''ssrn''':
*'''zbl''':
*'''id''': A [[w:unique identifier|unique identifier]], used if none of the above are applicable.  In this case, you need to specify the kind of identifier you are using, preferably with a template like {{tl|ASIN}} or {{tl|ISSN}}.  (Use one of the more specialized parameters if possible; they are linked automatically.  In other words, don't use {{para|id|ISBN 1-111-22222-9}} anymore; use {{para|isbn|1-111-22222-9}}. If the book has a SBN but not an ISBN, see {{para|isbn}}.)
*archive parameters ''(if used, both parameters must be used together)''
**'''archiveurl''': The URL of an [[w:Web archiving|archived]] copy of the page, if (or in case) the url becomes unavailable.  Typically used to refer to services like [[w:WebCite|WebCite]] and [[w:Internet Archive|Archive.org]].
**'''archivedate''': Date when the item was archived. Should not be wikilinked.
**'''deadurl''': Should be set to "yes"/"no" to indicate if the original link is [[w:WP:LINKROT|dead]] or live. Setting {{para|deadurl|no}} will change the main link to the original url.
*'''accessdate''': Full date when item was accessed. Should not be wikilinked. This should be given if the publication date is unknown; see ''[[w: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 [[w:Wikipedia:Citing sources/Further considerations#Wikilinks to full references|wikilinks to full references]], especially useful in short citations like [[w:Wikipedia:Citing sources#Shortened footnotes|shortened notes]] and [[w: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]]''.
*'''separator''': The separator to use in lists of authors, editors, ''etc''.  Defaults to ".", but "," may be useful also. If the field is present, but blank, ''no separator will be used''.
*'''postscript''': The closing punctuation for the citation. If specified, over-rides the default behaviour of terminating the citation with a full stop. If the field is present, but blank, ''no terminating punctuation will be used''. This may be useful when generating an output consistent with other templates. It is preferred to manually adding ending punctuation, as the punctuation occurs within the &lt;cite&gt; tag, so will appear before any icons added by browser plugins. Ignored if {{para|quote}} is specified.

====Duplicate periods====
By default, {{Tl|cite web}} separates some fields with periods, so do not encode those fields 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>
