ထႅမ်းပလဵတ်ႉ:Cite web
This template is used to cite online sources in Wikibooks books. {{Cite news}} can also be used when citing a news source.
Usage
[မႄးထတ်း]Note: None of the parameters should be capitalized, in order to avoid the article being tagged as having a broken citation. For example, use "url", "title", etc. - not "URL", "Title", etc.
Common forms with authors in any format
[မႄးထတ်း]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 |author=authors parameter, using any format. Also shown below are three separate date formats that are commonly used in Wikibooks:
- Day Month Year
{{Cite web |url= |title= |author= |date= |work= |publisher= |accessdate=8 ၸူႇလၢႆႇ 2024}}
- Month Day, Year
{{Cite web |url= |title= |author= |date= |work= |publisher= |accessdate=ၸူႇလၢႆႇ 8, 2024}}
- YYYY-MM-DD
{{Cite web |url= |title= |author= |date= |work= |publisher= |accessdate=2024-07-08}}
Common forms with last1, first1; last2, first2
[မႄးထတ်း]The examples below 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
{{Cite web |url= |title= |last1= |first1= |last2= |first2= |date= |work= |publisher= |accessdate=8 ၸူႇလၢႆႇ 2024}}
- Month Day, Year
{{Cite web |url= |title= |last1= |first1= |last2= |first2= |date= |work= |publisher= |accessdate=ၸူႇလၢႆႇ 8, 2024}}
- YYYY-MM-DD
{{Cite web |url= |title= |last1= |first1= |last2= |first2= |date= |work= |publisher= |accessdate=2024-07-08}}
All parameters
[မႄးထတ်း]When copying all parameters in either the vertical or horizontal layouts, delete those which are not needed.
- All parameters, horizontal layout
{{Cite web |url= |title= |first= |last= |author= |authorlink= |coauthors= |date= |month= |year= |work= |publisher= |location= |page= |pages= |at= |language= |trans_title= |format= |doi= |archiveurl= |archivedate= |accessdate= |quote= |ref= |separator= |postscript= }}

Required parameters
[မႄးထတ်း]- url: URL of online item. Start the url with the communications protocol, e.g. http://.
- title: Title of online item. This title will appear as the citation itself, hyperlinked to the URL.
Optional parameters
[မႄးထတ်း]- author parameters
- author
- last works with first to produce
last, first - authorlink works either with author or with last & first to link to the appropriate Wikipedia article. Does not work with URLs.
- last1, first1, ..., last9, first9 and optionally authorlink1, ..., authorlink9 for specifying more authors (note: last1, first1 and authorlink1 are synonyms for last, first and authorlink, so use either last1 or last, not both)
- coauthors: alternate way of specifying additional authors
- a date parameter
- either date: Full date of publication. Should not be wikilinked.
- or year: Year of publication, and month: Name of the month of publication. If you also have the day, use date instead. Should not be wikilinked.
- format: Format, e.g. PDF. HTML implied if not specified.
- work: If this item is part of a larger "work", such as a book, periodical or website, write the name of that work. Do not italicize; the software will do so automatically.
- publisher: Publisher, if any—for example if the website is hosted by a government service, educational institution, or company. (The publisher is not usually the name of the website, that is usually the work).
- location: Geographical place of publication.
- a page parameter
- either page: Page number if a multi-page web article and referencing a single page. "page=5" produces p. 5.
- or pages: Page numbers if a multi-page web article and referencing more than one page. "pages=5–7" produces pp. 5–7. This is for listing the pages relevant to the citation, not a total number of pages.
- or at: When the page prefix is unwanted. "at=Table 5" produces Table 5.
- language: language of publication (don't specify "English" as this is the default).
- trans_title: A translated title of the article, in case the original title is in a foreign language. Would normally be used in conjunction with the 'language' parameter.
- doi: A digital object identifier for the document, such as 10.1038/news070508-7
- Doilabel: If the doi contains some characters that must be escaped, use "doilabel" for the unescaped version.
- archive parameters (if used, must be used both of them together)
- archiveurl: The URL of an archived copy of the page, if (or in case) the url becomes unavailable. Typically used to refer to services like WebCite and Archive.org.
- archivedate: Date when the item was archived. Should not be wikilinked.
- accessdate: Full date when item was accessed. Should not be wikilinked. This should be given if the publication date is unknown.
- quote: Relevant quote from online item.
- ref: ID for anchor. By default, no anchor is generated. The ordinary nonempty value
|ref=IDgenerates an anchor with the givenID; such a linkable reference can be made the target of wikilinks to full references, especially useful in short citations like shortened notes and parenthetical referencing. The special value|ref=harvgenerates an anchor suitable for the {{harv}} template; see anchors for Harvard referencing templates. - separator / postscript: The punctuation to use between fields / at the end of the citation
Duplicate periods
[မႄးထတ်း]By default, {{Cite web}} separates some fields with periods, so don't encode those fields ending with a period or a duplicate period will be added. Example: "publisher=Camelot, Inc" will correctly show as Camelot, Inc. but "publisher=Camelot, Inc." will incorrectly show as Camelot, Inc..
