Usage
Copy a blank version to use. Almost all parameter names are supported only in lower case (some initialisms, such as |isbn= have upper-case aliases like |ISBN=, which are acceptable for use). Use the "|" (pipe) character between each parameter. Unused parameters may be deleted to avoid clutter in the edit window. Some samples on this documentation page may include the current date. If the date is not current, then Template:Purge the page.

Choosing between Template:cite web and Template:cite newsBefore 2014, editors had to decide whether to use {{cite web}} or {{cite news}} based on their features. In 2014, most of the differences between the two templates were eliminated. As of Template:Diff, {{cite web}} and {{cite news}} have the following differences:
But given the same set of valid parameters, their output is exactly the same:
Examples
Using "format="When this template detects a link whose URL includes an extension of ".pdf" or ".PDF", typical of PDF files, it automatically displays a PDF icon after the link (regardless of whether the link goes to a PDF file or to an HTML landing page, typical of paysites). It also internally acts as if

For links to files in other formats, no icon is displayed. For example, for an .odt file, you may add the parameter
Foreign language and translated title
Using author-link
Multiple authors
No author
No author, no publisher
Using "archive-url" and "archive-date" (and optionally "url-status") for webpages that have been archivedBy default, if "archive-url" is used,
|url-status=dead and the main link is to the archive:
With
|url-status=live, the main link is to the original:

COinSThis template embeds COinS metadata in the HTML output, allowing reference management software to retrieve bibliographic metadata. As a general rule, only one data item per parameter.
