* 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. | |||
