Usage

Based on Wikipedia's citation template, this template can be used for a variety of citations across a variety of different works, let it be publications, web pages, and so forth. Remember to include it between the the <ref> and </ref> tags. 

{{cite|quote=|author=|date=|title=|url=|format=|publisher=|language=|isbn=|page=|accessdate=|archive=|deadlink=|archivedate=|archiver=}}

Example

Citing a book for the Electrified Anemone's name: 

<ref>{{cite|author=von Esmarch, Nick, and Cory van Grier|publisher=[[Prima Games]]|title=''Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze'' Official Game Guide|isbn=978-0804162524|page=26}}</ref>

Parameters

All citations

These parameters should always be included whenever possible.

  • Author (author): The full name in (Lastname, Firstname) format or the username of whoever wrote the content of the source.
  • Date (date): The date the book or page was published, e.g. "January 1, 2000".
  • Title (title): The title of the source.
  • Publisher (publisher): The publisher of the book, or the website on which the web page was found.

Specific citation types

  • ISBN (isbn): For physical books only, the ISBN of the book.
  • Page (page): For physical books only, the page number on which the citation was found.
  • URL (url): For web links only, the full URL to the page.
  • Access date (accessdate): For web links only, the date at which the source was accessed, e.g. "January 1, 2000". This is to preserve the state of the web page at that time, since unlike physical media, web pages can change at any point.
  • Format (format): For web links only, the format of the URL if non-webpage (e.g. PDF).
  • Dead link (deadlink): For web links only, a feature which swaps priority of the URL and archive links.

Optional parameters

These parameters should only be included if relevant to the citation.

  • Quote (quote): A brief excerpt from the book or web page providing more context to the citation. Using quotes is encouraged because it allows readers to see evidence behind a claim quickly and directly on the wiki itself, rather than needing to seek out the evidence in question in order to prove that it has not been fabricated.
  • Language (language): The language of the publication if non-English.
  • Archive (archive): A link to a web archive of an online source.
  • Archive date (archivedate): The date at which the URL was archived. Omit for Wayback Machine, since the template automatically grabs the date from the URL.
