Usage
[edit source]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 the page.

Choosing between Template:cite web and Template:cite news
[edit source]Before 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 29 July 2016, {{cite web}} and {{cite news}} have the following differences:
- {{cite news}} can be used for offline (paper) sources whereas {{cite web}} generates a missing URL error when no URL is provided
- {{cite news}} accepts
|issue=and|volume=parameters while {{cite web}} does not (See Help:Citation Style 1 § Pages; see also {{cite magazine}}).
But given the same set of valid parameters, their output is exactly the same:

Using "format="
[edit source]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 |format=PDF had been specified, which displays " (PDF)" after the icon. (In this case, an explicit |format=PDF parameter would be redundant, so it is not recommended to add it. Users may remove it. Citation bot, when invoked, will remove it. (ref))
{{cite web |url=https://www.indiapost.gov.in/Pdf/Customs/List_of_Psychotropic_Substances.pdf |title=List of psychotropic substances under international control |publisher=International Narcotics Control Board |access-date=7 Mosegamanye 2024}}- "List of psychotropic substances under international control" (PDF).

- "List of psychotropic substances under international control" (PDF). International Narcotics Control Board. Retrieved 7 Mosegamanye 2024.
If the link is to a PDF file that is not automatically recognizable by its extension, this template does not display the PDF icon. You may add the parameter |format=PDF, which displays " (PDF)" after the link.
