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.

Common parameters

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

Required parameters

• <title>

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

Deprecated parameters

• <coauthors> - use <last2>, <first2>, etc., instead
• <work> - use <website> 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.
