This [[Wikipedia:Template namespace|template]] is used to cite online sources in Wikipedia articles. {{tl|Cite news}} can also be used when citing a news source; for general information about citations in Wikipedia articles, see [[WP:CITE|Wikipedia:cite sources]].

A general discussion of the use of templates for adding citation of open-source web content to Wikipedia articles is available at [[Wikipedia:Citation templates|citation templates]].

;All parameters, vertical layout

| url =
| title =
| accessdate =
| author =
| last =
| first =
| authorlink =
| coauthors =
| date =
| year =

</pre>

====Required parameters====
*'''url''': URL of online item. Start the url with the communications protocol e.g. <nowiki>http://</nowiki>.
*'''title''': Title of online item.
*'''''Choose a date format''''' from the following options that matches the main text of the article.
:*'''accessdate''': Full date when item was accessed, in [[ISO 8601]] YYYY-MM-DD format, for example "accessdate = {{CURRENTYEAR}}-{{CURRENTMONTH}}-{{CURRENTDAY2}}". ''Must not be wikilinked''.
:*'''dateformat''': Formats the date in a consistent fashion. Possible values: none, dmy, ymd, mdy, iso. Preceding the value with an 'l' (e.g. liso, ldmy) will wikilink the date. See [[Template:Date]].

====Optional parameters====
*'''author''': Author
**'''last''' works with '''first''' to produce <code>last, first</code>
**'''authorlink''' works either with '''author''' or with '''last''' & '''first''' to link to the appropriate wikipedia article. Does not work with URLs.
**'''coauthors''': allows additional authors
*'''date''': Full date of publication in the same format as the main text of the article. If in [[ISO 8601]] YYYY-MM-DD format, e.g. ''2006-02-17'', must not be wikilinked; it will be linked automatically.''
**OR: '''year''': Year of publication, and '''month''': Name of the month of publication. If you also have the day, use ''date'' instead. Must not be wikilinked.
*'''format''': Format, e.g. PDF. HTML implied if not specified.
*'''work''': If this item is part of a larger "work", such as a book, periodical or website, write the name of that work.
*'''publisher''': Publisher, if any—for example if the website is hosted by a government service, educational institution, or company
**'''location''': Geographical place of publication.
*'''pages''': ''pp. 5–7'': first page and optional last page. This is for listing the pages relevant to the citation, not the total number of pages in the book.
*'''language''': language of publication (don't specify "English" as this is the default).
* '''doi''': A [[digital object identifier]] for the document, such as ''<nowiki>10.1038/news070508-7</nowiki>''
**'''Doilabel''': If the doi contains some characters that must be [[Percent-encoding|escaped]], use "doilabel" for the unescaped version. See {{tl|doi}}: "id" is equivalent to "doi" and "label" is "doilabel"
*'''archiveurl''': The URL of an [[Web archiving|archived]] copy of the page, if (or in case) the url becomes unavailable. Typically used to refer to services like [[WebCite]] and [[Internet Archive|The Internet Archive]]. Requires '''archivedate'''.
*'''archivedate''': Date when the item was archived (requires '''archiveurl'''), in [[ISO 8601]] YYYY-MM-DD format, e.g. ''2006-02-17''. Must not be wikilinked.
*'''quote''': Relevant quote from online item.
====Duplicate periods====
By default, cite web separates fields with periods, so don't encode a field ending with a period or a duplicate period will be added. Example: publisher=Camelot, Inc will correctly show as Camelot, Inc. but publisher=Camelot, Inc. will incorrectly show as Camelot, Inc..
