Template:Cite web/doc

Common forms with authors in any format
Citations within a page should use consistent formats. However, there is no consensus about which format is best. The following examples are for citations where one or more authors are listed in a single authors parameter, using any format. Also shown below are two separate date formats that are commonly used in Wikipedia:


 * Day Month Year:
 * Month Day, Year:

Common forms with last1, first1; last2, first2
The examples hereafter will suffice for up to two authors each with first and last names; for more, just create more parameters in a similar style:


 * Day Month Year:
 * Month Day, Year:

All parameters
When copying all parameters in either the vertical or horizontal layouts, delete those which are not needed. None of the parameters should be capitalised, or the template will not work as intended. For example, use "url", "title", etc. - not "URL", "Title", etc.
