Template:Cite web
From Metroid Wiki
Purpose
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
To use, enter this code:
- {{Cite web|[quote]|[site name]|[URL]|[page title]}}
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|Hello.|Metroid Wiki|http://www.metroidwiki.org/%7CMain Page}}</nowiki>
