[edit] Template documentation
This documentation is transcluded from Template:Cite/doc. (edit | history)

This template is for citing sources.

For a list of citation templates, see Wikipedia:Citation templates.

The use of citation templates is recommended, but not mandatory. See Wikipedia:Citing sources for the relevant style guidelines.

Please consider using specific citation templates before using this general template.

Example:

Code: 
{{cite |author=Fred Bloggs |title=A book |publisher=A Publisher |date=2004-07-31 }}

Result:

Fred Bloggs, A book, A Publisher, 2004-07-31.

Note: As "the date" is a single parameter in the code, using something like date=July 31, 2004 doesn't work. Hence the ISO date format is used in the example.
