This is a documentation subpage for Module:Cite web. It may contain usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original module page. |
This Lua module is used on approximately 47,000 pages and changes may be widely noticed. Test changes in the module's /sandbox or /testcases subpages, or in your own module sandbox. Consider discussing changes on the talk page before implementing them. |
This module should only be used on articles which are near the post-expand include size limit, in order to prevent them exceeding it. Unless there is a pressing technical need, use {{Cite web}} like normal. |
This module depends on the following other modules: |
Usage
editThis module may be placed directly on articles by replacing {{Cite web|
with {{#invoke:Cite web||
(note the double pipe). This is likely to be unclear to other editors and should only be done to prevent pages exceeding the post-expand include size limit. It is also fine to use in templates that wrap {{Cite web}}.
For the module that actually implements {{Cite web}}, see Module:Citation/CS1.
TemplateData
editThis is the TemplateData for this template used by TemplateWizard, VisualEditor and other tools. See a monthly parameter usage report for Template:Cite web in articles based on its TemplateData.
TemplateData for Cite web
This module is like {{Cite web}} with two exceptions. It is only for use on pages with lots of citations (e.g. several hundred) where that is causing technical problems, and you must pass an empty first parameter. For all other usage information, see [[Template:Cite web]].
