| === Required parameters ===
| |
| * '''url''': URL of online item.
| |
| * '''title''': Title of online item.
| |
| ''For producing a [[WP:CONTEXT#Dates|wikilinked date]] of retrieval:''
| |
| :* '''accessdate''': Full date when item was accessed, in [[ISO 8601]] YYYY-MM-DD format, for example "accessdate = {{CURRENTYEAR}}-{{CURRENTMONTH}}-{{CURRENTDAY2}}". ''Must not be wikilinked''
| |
| ''For producing a non-wikilinked date of retrieval:''
| |
| :* '''accessmonthday''' and '''accessyear''': Month and day when item was accessed, for example "accessmonthday = May 10", <u>and</u> year when item was accessed, for example "accessyear = 2005". Produces: ''Retrieved on May 10, 2006.''
| |
| :* '''accessdaymonth''' and '''accessyear''': Month and day when item was accessed, for example "accessmonthday = 10 May", <u>and</u> year when item was accessed, for example "accessyear = 2005". Produces: ''Retrieved on 10 May 2006.''
| |
| | |
| === Optional parameters ===
| |
| * '''author''': Author
| |
| ** '''last''' works with '''first''' to produce <code>last, first</code>
| |
| ** '''authorlink''' works either with '''author''' or with '''last''' & '''first''' to link to the appropriate wikipedia article. Does not work with URLs.
| |
| ** '''coauthors''': allows additional authors
| |
| * '''date''': Full date of publication, preferably in [[ISO 8601]] YYYY-MM-DD format, e.g. ''2006-02-17''. May be wikilinked.
| |
| ** OR: '''year''': Year of publication, and '''month''': Name of the month of publication. If you also have the day, use ''date'' instead. Must not be wikilinked.

| |
| * '''publisher''': Publisher, if any.
| |
| * '''pages''': ''pp. 5–7'': first page and optional last page. This is for listing the pages relevant to the citation, not the total number of pages in the book. This is especially useful for [[PDF]] format, where the page can be linked to with the <code>#page=''number''</code> anchor tagged on the end of the URL:
| |
| *: <code><nowiki>pages = [http://www.example.org/file.pdf#page=123 p. 123]</nowiki></code>
| |
| * '''language''': language of publication (don't specify "English" as this is the default).
| |
| * '''archiveurl''': URL of the archive location of the item (requires '''archivedate''')
| |
| * '''archivedate''': Date when the item was archived (requires '''archiveurl'''), in [[ISO 8601]] YYYY-MM-DD format, e.g. ''2006-02-17''. Must not be wikilinked; it will be linked automatically.
| |
| * '''quote''': Relevant quote from online item.
