109.176.237.108: Remove spurious tracking parameters from URLs

* '''url''': URL of an online location where the text of the publication can be found. Cannot be used if '''title''' is wikilinked. If applicable, the link may point to the specific page(s) referenced. Remove spurious tracking parameters from URLs, e.g. <code>#ixzz2rBr3aO94</code> or <code>?utm_source=google&utm_medium=...&utm_term=...&utm_campaign=...</code>. Do not link to any commercial booksellers, such as Amazon.com. See: [[WP:PAGELINKS]].
** '''accessdate''': Full date when original URL was accessed; use the same format as other access and archive dates in the citations; requires '''url'''.{{r|date}} Do not wikilink. ''Not required for web pages or linked documents that do not change; mainly for use of web pages that change frequently or have no publication date.'' Can be [[Help:Citation Style 1/accessdate|hidden or styled]] by registered editors.
** '''archiveurl''': The URL of an [[Web archiving|archived]] copy of a web page, if or in case the url becomes unavailable. Typically used to refer to services like [[WebCite]] (see: [[Wikipedia:Using WebCite]]) and [[Internet Archive]] (see: [[Wikipedia:Using the Wayback Machine]]); requires '''archivedate''' and '''url'''.
*** '''archivedate''': Date when the original URL was archived; preceded by default text "archived from the original on". Use the same format as other access and archive dates in the citations. This does not necessarily have to be the same format that was used for citing publication dates.{{r|date}} Do not wikilink.
*** '''deadurl''': When the URL is still live, but pre-emptively archived, then set {{para|deadurl|no}}. This changes the display order with the title retaining the original link and the archive linked at the end.
** '''template doc demo''': The archive parameters will be error checked to ensure that all the required parameters are included, or else {{tl|citation error}} is invoked. With errors, main, help and template pages are placed into [[:Category:Articles with incorrect citation syntax]]. Set {{para|template doc demo|true}} to disable categorization; mainly used for documentation where the error is demonstrated.
* '''format''': Format of the work referred to by '''url'''; for example: PDF, DOC, or XLS; displayed in parentheses after '''title'''. HTML is implied and should not be specified. Does not change the [[Help:External link icons|external link icon]]. Note: External link icons do not include [[Wikipedia:ALT|alt text]]; thus, they do not add format information for the visually impaired.
{{MediaWiki URL rules}}
{{reflist|refs=
<ref name=date>Accessdate and archivedate in references should all have the same format – either the format used for publication dates, or YYYY-MM-DD. See: [[MOS:DATEUNIFY]].</ref>
}}
