Templates make it easy to cite Islamic sources. For example, instead of finding the exact USC-MSA URL of a Qur'an verse or hadith, all that is needed is to type <code><nowiki>{{Muslim|7|88}}</nowiki></code> and the reference and link is automatically created. Here are some templates you can use.

===Referencing Hadith===
=====Referencing Sahih Bukhari=====
====When using Visual Editor====
To reference a hadith from [[Template:Bukhari|Bukhari]] type: <code>{&#123;<nowiki>Bukhari|#|#|#}}</nowiki></code> The first parameter is the volume number, the second parameter is the book number and the third parameter is the narration number.
The sections below describe the format for citing hadiths in the source editor. The same information applies also when using the Visual Editor, but with one additional requirement.  


By default, this will create a link using the USC-MSA hadith referencing system.
When using Visual Editor (but not source editor), a single space should be entered for any empty parameters that occur before a parameter which is given a value. For example, when using the Dar-us-Salam reference system for Bukhari (preferred), a single space should be entered for the Volume number and for the Book number so that the generated wikitext will have a pipe ("|") for the each of the empty parameters i.e. when saved it will generate for example <code><nowiki>{{Bukhari|||123|darussalam}}</nowiki></code> instead of <code><nowiki>{{Bukhari|3=123|4=darussalam}}</nowiki></code>. This is preferred in order to keep Visual Editor generated wikitext consistent with the existing wikitext across the site.
 
====Referencing Sahih Bukhari====
To cite a hadith in [[Template:Bukhari|Sahih Bukhari]] type: <code><nowiki>{{Bukhari|||#|darussalam}}</nowiki></code> Note that the first parameter for the volume number and second parameter for the book number are left empty for Dar-us-Salam Reference citations. The fourth parameter must be "darussalam".
 
This is the standard system for referencing Bukhari hadiths on this site. The Dar-us-Salam reference number as found in the Dar-us-Salam print editions of Bukhari was devised by the mid-20th century scholar Fuad Abdul Baqi. This has become the de facto standard in common and academic usage and is found on sites such as quranx.com and sunnah.com.


=====Sahih Bukhari Alternative=====
=====Sahih Bukhari Alternative=====
You can cite a hadith using its Dar-us-Salam reference number (as found in the Dar-us-Salam print edition of Bukhari) by adding an additional parameter with the value "darussalam".
You can cite a hadith using the USC-MSA hadith referencing system, which used to be the default system on this site, but is now widely considered obsolete and all citations on this site were replaced with the Dar-us-Salam numbers.


To do so type: <code>{&#123;<nowiki>Bukhari|||#|darussalam}}</nowiki></code> (note that the first parameter for the volume number and second parameter for the book number are left empty for Dar-us-Salam Reference citations)
To do so type: <code><nowiki>{{Bukhari|#|#|#}}</nowiki></code> The first parameter is the volume number, the second parameter is the book number and the third parameter is the narration number.


You can also cite a Bukhari hadith using the In-book reference convention (created by sunnah.com) by adding an additional parameter with the value "in-book".
You can also cite a Bukhari hadith using the In-book reference convention (a hybrid system created by sunnah.com) by adding an additional parameter with the value "in-book".


To do so type: <code>{&#123;<nowiki>Bukhari||#|#|in-book}}</nowiki></code> (note that the first parameter for the volume is left empty for in-book citations)
To do so type: <code><nowiki>{{Bukhari||#|#|in-book}}</nowiki></code> (note that the first parameter for the volume is left empty for in-book citations)


The book number in the In-book reference system corresponds with the book number in the Dar-us-Salam print edition of Bukhari, and the hadith number is an incremental number which starts at 1 for the first hadith in each book.

The alternative referencing systems allow hadiths to be cited that did not appear within the USC-MSA collection. It also allows a specific hadith to be cited when there are multiple hadiths with the same USC-MSA number (a link using the default USC-MSA referencing system would display a list of hadiths in that situation).
Note that if using the USC-MSA system, this will sometimes not allow a specific hadith to be cited when there are multiple hadiths with the same USC-MSA number (a link using the default USC-MSA referencing system would display a list of hadiths in that situation on QuranX
=====Referencing Sahih Muslim=====
To reference a hadith from [[Template:Muslim|Muslim]] type: <code>{&#123;<nowiki>Muslim|#|#}}</nowiki></code>


The first parameter is the book number and the second parameter is the narration number.
====Referencing Sahih Muslim====
To cite a hadith in [[Template:Muslim|Sahih Muslim]] type: <code><nowiki>{{Muslim||#|reference}}</nowiki></code> Note that the first parameter for the book number is left empty. The third parameter must be "reference".


By default, this will create a link using the USC-MSA hadith referencing system.
This is the standard system for citing Sahih Muslim hadiths on this site. It is the number provided in round brackets in the Dar-us-Salam print editions of Sahih Muslim, and was devised by the mid-20th century Islamic scholar Fuad Abdul Baqi. This number has become the de facto standard in common and academic usage and is found on sites such as quranx.com and on sunnah.com (where it is labelled "Reference"). Note that before this round brackets number, the Dar-us-Salam print editions for this collection first show a number in square brackets, which is not commonly used.


=====Sahih Muslim Alternative=====
=====Sahih Muslim Alternative=====
You can cite a hadith by a single hadith reference number as found in the Dar-us-Salam print edition of Sahih Muslim by adding an additional parameter with the value "reference". Please note that this is not the square bracket number in the Dar-us-Salam edition, but rather the round bracket number for the hadith in the same book, which was devised by the Islamic scholar Fuwad Abdul Baqi. This is a number commonly used when citing hadiths in Sahih Muslim.
You can cite a hadith using the USC-MSA hadith referencing system, which used to be the default system on this site, but is now widely considered obsolete and all citations on this site were replaced with the Dar-us-Salam numbers.


To do so type: <code>{&#123;<nowiki>Muslim||#|reference}}</nowiki></code> (note that the first parameter for the book number is left empty for Dar-us-Salam Reference citations)
To do so type: <code>{{<nowiki>Muslim|#|#}}</nowiki></code>


You can also cite a Sahih Muslim hadith using the In-book reference convention (created by sunnah.com) by adding an additional parameter with the value "in-book".
The first parameter is the book number and the second parameter is the narration number.

=====Referencing Abu Dawud=====
To reference a hadith from [[Template:Abudawud|Abu Dawud]] type: <code>{&#123;<nowiki>Abudawud|#|#}}</nowiki></code>


The first parameter is the book number and the second parameter is the narration number.
====Referencing Abu Dawud====
To reference a hadith from [[Template:Abudawud|Sunan Abu Dawud]] type: <code><nowiki>{{Abudawud||#|darussalam}}</nowiki></code> (note that the first parameter for the book number is left empty for Dar-us-Salam Reference citations)


By default, this will create a link using the USC-MSA hadith referencing system. The USC-MSA (CMJE) partial collection for Abu Dawud only included roughly half of his hadiths.
This is the standard system for citing Sunan Abu Dawud hadiths on this site. The Dar-us-Salam reference number as found in the Dar-us-Salam print editions of Sunan Abu Dawud was devised by the mid-20th century scholar Fuad Abdul Baqi. This has become the de facto standard in common and academic usage and is found on sites such as quranx.com and sunnah.com.


=====Abu Dawud Alternative=====
=====Abu Dawud Alternative=====
You can cite a Sunan Abu Dawud hadith using the reference system found in the translation of the entire Abu Dawud collection by Ahmad Hasan (this translation is used by USC-MSA and other popular sites). You can do this by adding an additional parameter with the value "hasan".
You can cite a hadith using the USC-MSA hadith referencing system, which used to be the default system on this site, but is now widely considered obsolete and all citations on this site were replaced with the Dar-us-Salam numbers.


To do so type: <code>{&#123;<nowiki>Abudawud||#|hasan}}</nowiki></code> (note that the first parameter for the book number is left empty for Ahmad Hasan reference citations - they are not used because his book numbers varied depending on the edition).
To do so type: <code><nowiki>{{Abudawud|#|#}}</nowiki></code>


Ahmad Hasan's hadith (narration) numbers were also used by USC-MSA (for the hadiths in their partial collection). USC-MSA used the book numbers from the 1990 edition of Hasan's translation, which had 41 books unlike the other editions in which he put the same hadiths into 36 books.
The first parameter is the book number and the second parameter is the narration number.


You can also cite a hadith using its Dar-us-Salam reference number (as found in the Dar-us-Salam print edition of Sunan Abu Dawud) by adding an additional parameter with the value "darussalam".
Note that the USC-MSA (CMJE) partial collection for Abu Dawud only included roughly half of his hadiths.

:<i>An optional fourth parameter allowed a suffix to be added to the narration number (no longer used, but put it in if you know there is one in case it's useful one day). The disused 2nd and 4th parameters are retained for the sake of earlier citations which had them, and their values are visible on the pages although not included in the links (except when they were mistakenly used for the book and hadith number - the template can detect this).</i>

By default, this will create a link using the USC-MSA hadith referencing system. The most commonly used referencing system for Muwatta Malik in English is the USC-MSA system, though there is no clear de facto standard referencing system for this collection in English nor Arabic.


=====Muwatta Alternative=====
=====Muwatta Alternative=====
To do so type: <code>{&#123;<nowiki>Muwatta|#||#||arabic}}</nowiki></code> (note the empty 2nd and 4th parameters)

Link rot is a frequently occurring phenomena where external website links become unavailable after some time.
Link rot is a frequently occurring phenomena where external website links become unavailable after some time.


The Cite Web template has two parameters dedicated to archived links. This is due to the many sources that are comprised of links to external websites, making the preservation of the content of these external links very important. However, archiving links is very easy and only takes a moment.
Where a linked page is at significant risk of disappearing or would be hard to replace, a link to an archive copy of the page on https://archive.org/ can be added. This is usually done by adding in round brackets an external link in the two-part format ([link archive]) at the end of the citation where "link" is the url of the archived page on archive.org.
====WebCitation.org====
WebCite archives:
 
*Regular web pages
*Forum threads
*Blogs
*PDF and other media files
 
But it does ''not'' archive Facebook pages.


To archive a page, enter the target URL and any email address as that of the citing author on the WebCite archive form (http://www.webcitation.org/archive), then press submit. Using the "transparent" WebCite URL is preferred over the short one.
As detailed above, the <code><nowiki>{{cite web}}</nowiki></code template can be used to link external websites, including linking an archived copy of the page. Two paramaters for the archive url and the archive date are detailed in the specification for that template above.  
====Archive.is====
Archive.is archives:


*Regular web pages
Formerly, editors were instructed to use the webcitation.org archiving website to obtain archive urls, but as that service is no longer functioning, https://archive.org/ should be used instead. When convenient, it is helpful if editors replace existing webcitation.org links with copies held on archive.org.
*Forum threads
*Blogs
*Facebook pages


But it does ''not'' archive PDF and other media files.
To archive a page, enter the target URL into the "submit url" box (http://archive.is/) and press submit. You will then see the new archived URL that can be used in the 'archiveurl' parameter for the Cite Web template.
====Embedded Links====
====Embedded Links====
Embedded links to external websites should never be used as a form of inline citation. Nevertheless, they are used on occasion, for example, in the [[Fatwa: It is Permissible to Use the "Torah and the New Testament... for Anal Cleansing after Defecation"|Translations of Arabic/Islamic Media]] pages. In these rare instances, only a single link is appropriate, rather than both the original and the archive link side-by-side. For these, the [[Template:Reference archive|Reference archive]] template should be used.

To use this template, the target URL would have to be archived by entering it into the WebCite archive form (http://www.webcitation.org/archive).
 
Then the target URL in its original form, along with the date it was archived, need to be added to the Reference archive:
 
<code><nowiki>{{Reference archive|1=###|2=###}}</nowiki></code>
 
The first parameter is the original URL, and the second parameter is the date it was archived. The date format is year-month-day, all in numbers rather than words (e.g. 2014-02-26 rather than February 26, 2014).


If absolutely needed, embedded links to Wikipedia can be made by using the <code><nowiki>[[w:Target article|Text]]</nowiki></code> feature or <code><nowiki>{{</nowiki><nowiki>wp|article name}}</nowiki></code>. As with embedded links to other sites, these links should never be used as a form of inline citation.
