Required parameters[edit source]

Optional parameters[edit source]

  • |author= Name(s) of the author(s). Must be formatted like "Last name, First name"; multiple authors must be separated with a ";" between their names. Note that an author is not necessarily an individual and could be an organization. A long list of authors can be reduced using ", et al." after the first name. Provide wikilinks whenever they are available.
  • |date= Full date of publication, in ISO 8601 YYYY-MM-DD format, for example "date=2006-02-17". If item is only dated by year and/or month, these are also acceptable, and can be wikilinked where appropriate such as for year.
  • |format= Name of the format, such as PDF or Podcast. HTML implied if not specified.
  • |work= Name of the body of work from where the item is from, using a link to either a Wookieepedia or a Wikipedia article. If blank, the website will automtically show instead.
  • |publisher= Name of publisher, such as a website owner, if any. If different than work, it must be linked either to a Wookieepedia, a Wikipedia article, or if not available, to be linked to the publisher's website.
  • |pages= Location relevant to the citation, formatted as "p.5–7". This is for PDF document, where the page can be linked to with the #page=number anchor tagged on the end of the URL, for example: |pages=[http://example.org/file.pdf#page=123 p.123]
  • |language= Language of publication. English implied if not specified.
  • |quote= Relevant quote from online item. Double-quotes will be added automatically.
  • |nolive= When the original online content is no longer available, add "nolive=1".
