Template:Cite web/doc

A checked version of this page, approved on 12 March 2014, was based on this revision.

This template should be used whenever an external website is being referenced (RU version: ru:Шаблон:Cite web). See WikiIslam:Citing Sources for more information.

{{cite web| url= | title= | author= | publisher= | date= | archiveurl= | deadurl=no/yes}}

| accessdate= | series= | isbn= | page= | pages= | quote=

url= URL of an online location where the text of the publication can be found.
title= Title of web page. Displays in quotes.
author= Name of author or authors if available.
publisher= Organization or website's name. A website's URL should be used only when there is no proper name available. So, for example, Islam Q&A is located at islamqa.info, but Islam Q&A is the title that should be cited as the publisher.
date= Full date of source being referenced in the month/day/year format (e.g. February 21, 2014). This is the date mentioned on the website (if any).

accessdate= Full date when URL was accessed (use if the sourced page does not indicate a date of publication).

archiveurl= The URL of an archived copy of a web page, if or in case the url becomes unavailable. Typically used to refer to services like WebCite.
deadurl= When the URL is still live, but preemptively archived, then set |deadurl=no. This changes the display order with the title retaining the original link and the archive linked at the end.

series= Additional information that cannot be included under author or publisher. For example journal number
quote= Relevant text quoted from the source. Displays enclosed in quotes. When supplied, the citation terminator (a period by default) is suppressed, so the quote needs to include terminating punctuation.
isbn= For citing books. The ISBN is a numeric commercial book identifier based upon the 9-digit SBN code. Most published books have them.
page= Page number of the book/journal being cited.
pages= Page numbers of the book/journal being cited. Used when the information is spread over more than 1 page (e.g. 223-224).
