[edit] Template documentation
This documentation is transcluded from Template:Onlinesource/doc. (edit | history)
This template has a sandbox (edit) and testcases (edit) for editors to experiment.
This template employs intricate features of template syntax.
You are encouraged to familiarise yourself with its setup and parser functions before editing the template. If your edit causes unexpected problems, please undo it quickly, as this template may appear on a large number of pages.
Remember that you can conduct experiments, and should test all improvements, in either the local /sandbox or your user space before changing anything here.

This template will categorize articles that include it into Category:Wikipedia pages referenced by the press. The template syntax is as follows:

{{onlinesource = http://www.ncnewsonline.com/archivesearch/local_story_049094656.
| year = 2008
| title = Frank LaGrotta parts company with the truth
| author = Mitchel Olszak
| date = [[2008]] [[February 18]]
| month = February
| url = 
| org = 
| section = 
}}

The year and title are required parameters; all others are optional. The section link should be the title of the appropriate section on the wikipedia page listing all press releases in the given year. The template supports a small=yes parameter to reduce the size of the template. Either (or none) of the month or date parameters should be used; if the latter, then please wikilink the date appropriately (e.g. 1 August 2007).

Multiple articles can be referenced by adding a number to the end of the parameter names, e.g. year would become year2, up to a maximum of 10 (year10'). Both the year and the title are required for each of these subsequent articles.
