    Required parameters

    • url: URL of online item.
    • title: Title of online item.

    For producing a wikilinked date of retrieval:

    • accessdate: Full date when item was accessed, in ISO 8601 YYYY-MM-DD format, for example "accessdate = 2024-04-19". 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", and year when item was accessed, for example "accessyear = 2005".

    Optional parameters

    • author: 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.
      • 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.
    • format: Format, e.g. PDF. HTML implied if not specified.
    • work: If this item is part of a larger work, name of that work.
    • 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 #page=number anchor tagged on the end of the URL:
      pages = [http://www.example.com/file.pdf#page=123 p. 123]
    • 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.
