Template:Cite web text

Simple website citation template. This version does not automatically create a ref tag, so it allows use of advanced features such as named references.

Usage

• author: Principal author or editor of the work.
• publishdate: Date article or page was originally published.
• url: URL of the webpage. Required.
• title: Title of article. Optional. If provided, this is used as the link text for the provided URL. Quotation marks will be automatically included.
• publication: Title of publishing site, journal, blog, etc. Optional. If provided, will be automatically italicized.
• retrievedate: Date article or page was retrieved by the wiki editor. Optional. If included, the text "Retrieved" will appear before the provided date.
• accessdate: Alternate name for retrievedate.

Note that parameters taking a date will be passed to the {{#time}} parser function, and thus can be in any valid ISO date format, but must be in such a valid format or the following error text will appear: Error: Invalid time. For more information, see the official time function documentation.
