Template:Cite web/doc

This template is used to cite sources in Wikipedia. It is specifically for web sites which are not news sources. This template replaces deprecated template:web reference. It provides lower case parameters only.

A general discussion of the use of templates for adding citation of open-source web content to Wikipedia articles is available at citation templates.

Usage
Copy the template code below, and paste it into an article's reference note. Fill in as many parameters as you can, remove any that you don't use.  

Required parameters

 *  |url=  Full URL of online item. Make sure it matches the one used by the Internet Archive's archivedate, as redirects may create errors.
 *  |title=  Title of online item. Note that it should be capitalized the same way as the of the html document.
 * For archive options, see below.

Optional parameters

 *  |author=  Name(s) of the author(s). Multiple authors must be separated with a " ; " between their names. Note that an author is not necessarily an individual and could be an organization. A long list of authors can be reduced using ", et al. " after the first name. Provide wikilinks whenever they are available.
 *  |date=  Full date of publication, in YYYY-MM-DD format, for example " |date=2006-02-17 ".
 *  |format= </tt> Name of the format, such as PDF or Podcast. HTML implied if not specified.
 *  |work= </tt> Name of the body of work from where the item is from, using a link to either a Bandori Wiki or a Wikipedia article. If those are not available, the home page of the website may be linked instead, if the website is still live. If the field is left blank, the website will automatically be displayed.
 *  |publisher= </tt> Name of publisher/copyright owner (such as a website owner) if any. If different than  |work= </tt>, it must be linked either to a Wookieepedia, a Wikipedia article, or if not available, to be linked to the publisher's website home page, if it is still live.
 *  |pages= </tt> Location relevant to the citation, formatted as " p.5–7 </tt>". This is for PDF document, where the page can be linked to with the  #page= number</tt> anchor tagged on the end of the URL, for example:  |pages=p.123 </tt>
 *  |language= </tt> Language of publication. English implied if not specified.
 *  |quote= </tt> Relevant quote from online item. Double-quotes will be added automatically.

Backup links

 *  |archivedate= </tt> This parameter uses the timestamp feature of Internet Archive. The URL supplied earlier in the template, along with  archivedate </tt>, will provide a link to Internet Archive.
 *  |archiveurl=https://archive.is/EfD8P </tt> If Internet Archive does not work for the link in question, you can use  archiveurl </tt> to provide a full URL to another backup website, such as archive.is.
 *  |archivefile=File:Bandori.png </tt> If none of the archiving sites work, then provide a link to a screenshot of the page, uploaded to Bandori Wiki.
 *  |nobackup=1 </tt> If no backup link can be found for content that is no longer available, this parameter can be used. If the content is still available, you can screenshot and upload it instead.
 * <tt> |nolive=1 </tt> If the original content is no longer available, this parameter can be used, which will make the template add "content now obsolete;" to the citation. This may also mean a backup link can no longer be provided, and therefore may be used as well as <tt> |nobackup=1 </tt>.
 * <tt> |noarchive=1 </tt> If the original content is not yet archived, this parameter can be used, which will make the template add "content has no archive;" to the citation. A backup link can still be provided when archive is available, and this parameter will automatically disappear when <tt> |archivedate= </tt> is provided.
