Template:Citation Style documentation/url


 * url: URL of an online location where the text of the publication can be found. Cannot be used if title is wikilinked. If applicable, the link may point to the specific page(s) referenced. Do not link to any commercial booksellers such as Amazon.com; see WQ:PAGELINKS.
 * accessdate: Full date when URL was accessed; use the same format as other dates in the article; do not wikilink.
 * archiveurl: The URL of an archived copy of a web page, if or in case the url becomes unavailable. Typically used to refer to services like WebCite and the Internet Archive; requires archivedate.
 * archivedate: Date when the item was archived; use the same format as other dates in the article; do not wikilink.
 * deadurl: When the URL is still live, but preemptively archived, then set no. This changes the display order with the title retaining the original link and the archive linked at the end.
 * template doc demo: The archive parameters have error checking to ensure that all the required parameters are included, else citation error is invoked. On errors, main, help and template pages are placed into Category:Articles with incorrect citation syntax. Set true to disable categorization; mainly used for documentation where the error is demonstrated.
 * format: Format of the work referred to by url; examples: PDF, DOC, XLS; HTML is implied and should not be specified; displayed in parentheses after title. Does not change external link icon.
