Template:Cite web

This template is to be used for citing external websites that do not otherwise have a specific citation template on Wookieepedia.

Usage

Copy the template code below, and paste it into an article's reference note. Fill in as many parameters as you can, remove any that you don't use.

{{Cite_web|url=|title=|author=|date=|format=|work=|publisher=|pages=|language=|quote=|archiveurl=|archivedate=|nobackup=|nolive=}}

Required parameters

• |url= Full URL of online item.
• |title= Title of online item. Note that it should be capitalized the same way that in the <title> of the html document.

Optional parameters

• |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.
