====Required parameters====<br />
*'''url''': URL of online item. Start the url with the communications protocol e.g. <nowiki>http://</nowiki>.<br />
*'''title''': Title of online item.<br />
*'''''Choose a date format''''' from the following options that matches the main text of the article.<br />
:''For producing a [[WP:CONTEXT#Dates|wikilinked date]] of retrieval:''<br />
::*'''accessdate''': Full date when item was accessed, in [[ISO 8601]] YYYY-MM-DD format, for example "accessdate = {{CURRENTYEAR}}-{{CURRENTMONTH}}-{{CURRENTDAY2}}". ''Must not be wikilinked; it will be linked automatically.'' If the American/International date format is required for consistency within the article, use '''accessyear''' and '''accessmonthday''' or '''accessdaymonth''', as American/International dates will not display correctly if used for '''accessdate'''. <br />
:''For producing a non-wikilinked date of retrieval:''<br />
::*'''accessmonthday''' and '''accessyear''': Month and day when item was accessed, for example "accessmonthday = May 10", <u>and</u> year when item was accessed, for example "accessyear = 2006". Produces: ''Retrieved on May 10, 2006.''<br />
::*'''accessdaymonth''' and '''accessyear''': Month and day when item was accessed, for example "accessdaymonth= 10 May", <u>and</u> year when item was accessed, for example "accessyear = 2006". Produces: ''Retrieved on 10 May 2006.''<br />
<br />
====Optional parameters====<br />
*'''author''': Author<br />
**'''last''' works with '''first''' to produce <code>last, first</code><br />
**'''authorlink''' works either with '''author''' or with '''last''' & '''first''' to link to the appropriate wikipedia article. Does not work with URLs.<br />
**'''coauthors''': allows additional authors<br />
*'''date''': Full date of publication in the same format as the main text of the article. If in [[ISO 8601]] YYYY-MM-DD format, e.g. ''2006-02-17'', must not be wikilinked; it will be linked automatically.''<br />
**OR: '''year''': Year of publication, and '''month''': Name of the month of publication. If you also have the day, use ''date'' instead. Must not be wikilinked.<br />
*'''format''': Format, e.g. PDF. HTML implied if not specified.<br />
*'''work''': If this item is part of a larger "work", such as a book, periodical or website, write the name of that work.<br />
*'''publisher''': Publisher, if any—for example if the website is hosted by a government service, educational institution, or company<br />
*'''pages''': ''pp. 5–7'': first page and optional last page. This is for listing the pages relevant to the citation, not the total number of pages in the book.<!-- COmmentedout:notimplemented 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: <br />
*:<code><nowiki>pages = [http://www.example.org/file.pdf#page=123 p. 123]</nowiki></code>--><br />
*'''language''': language of publication (don't specify "English" as this is the default).<br />
* '''doi''': A [[digital object identifier]] for the document, such as ''<nowiki>10.1038/news070508-7</nowiki>''<br />
**'''Doilabel''': If the doi contains some characters that must be [[Percent-encoding|escaped]], use "doilabel" for the unescaped version. See {{tl|doi}}: "id" is equivalent to "doi" and "label" is "doilabel"<br />
*'''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|The Internet Archive]]. Requires '''archivedate'''.<br />
*'''archivedate''': Date when the item was archived (requires '''archiveurl'''), in [[ISO 8601]] YYYY-MM-DD format, e.g. ''2006-02-17''. Must not be wikilinked; it will be linked automatically. This field does not support American/International dates (they will display incorrectly as redlinks if used). <br />
*'''quote''': Relevant quote from online item.<br />
