Template:REFnews/Docu

This template is a homebrewn IntactiWiki replacement for Wikipedia's way too complex [[Template:Cite web]]. It has less parameters and should be used for all online website references.

All parameters in vertical format

{{REFnews
 |title=
 |url=
 |last=
 |first=
 |coauthors=
 |publisher=
 |work=
 |date=
 |accessdate=
 |quote=
}}

Most commonly used parameters in horizontal format

{{REFnews |title= |url= |last= |first= |publisher= |accessdate=}}

Required parameters

• <title>

Note: If you find an old IntactWiki template named cite contribution, you shouldn't use this template, but Template:REFcontribution instead.

Examples

Note: The small icon in front of each reference also has a "REFnews" mouseover text and helps template developers to more easily identify the template used in large articles. Chances are that they will be used permanently.
