Purpose[edit source]

This is a variant of the {{cite}} template that is to be used when you're pulling a quote or information from a web page or document (such as a PDF file). This is to be used to cite sources, and should be used within <ref></ref> tags.

Usage[edit source]

To use, enter this code:

{{Cite web|quote= [quote]| url= [URL]| title= [page title]| site= [site name]| type= [type of document]}}

Replace the parts in [ brackets ] like so:

  • quote
    • This is the actual quote from the site.
  • url
    • Make this the direct URL to the page in question. Note that ?'s in URLs will not work.
  • title
    • This is the name of the article or document you're linking to.
  • site
    • This is the name of the site that the article or document is hosted on (i.e. IGN, Nintendo.com, etc.).
  • type
    • This is an optional field, and should be used when the page you're linking to is not a regular HTML page. You should then say in this field what type of document it is (i.e. "PDF File", "Word Document", "PNG Image", etc.).

Example:

{{cite web|quote= Hello.|url= http://www.metroidwiki.org|title= Main Page|site= Metroid Wiki}}

Will generate:

"Hello." Main Page, Metroid Wiki
Retrieved from "https://www.metroidwiki.org/w/index.php?title=Template:Cite_web&oldid=22174"
