• title is required, rest is optional. Note that title must be on one line in order for the hyperlink to display properly. Do not enclose it in quotations marks, italics or other formatting, though it may be wikilinked.
• author: Author.
  • last works with first to produce last, first
  • authorlink works either with author or with last & first to link to the appropriate Wikipedia article. Does not work with URLs.
  • coauthors: Allows additional authors.
• url: Link to the news item if available online (note this is not for a link to the main web page of the work of publisher, but only to a copy of the item specified in "title"). Start the url with the communications protocol e.g. http://.
  • format: Format, e.g. PDF. Don't specify for HTML (implied as default).

    Specify as 'fee required' if free access is no longer available.

    Specify as 'Reprint' if you use a full original version but not hosted by the original publisher.

• agency: The news agency (wire service) that provided the content, e.g. Associated Press, Reuters, etc. Spell out and link the full name.
• work: The publication that ran the item, e.g. Newsweek. Can also be used for the name of a column or subpart of an issue. Do not italicize.
  • location: Place of the publication, e.g. Toronto for The Globe and Mail. For student newspapers, include the name of the school.
• publisher: The company or organization that publishes the news source. Not necessary for major publications like The New York Times, but may add credibility for local papers that are part of a family of publications like The McClatchy Company.
• id: Identifier such as תבנית:Tlx — remember, if you use this parameter, you must specify the kind of identifier, not just give a number.
• date: Date of publication. Use the same format as the main text of the article. If the ISO 8601 YYYY-MM-DD format is used it will be automatically wikilinked to enable date user preferences if used.
• page or pages: The page(s) on which the article is found. page inserts the abbreviation "p." before the number; pages inserts "pp." Use only one of these parameters. If numbers are entered for both, pages overrides page.
• accessdate: Date when item was accessed, in ISO 8601 YYYY-MM-DD format e.g. 2006-02-17. Must not be wikilinked; it will be linked automatically. This field does not support American/International dates (they will display incorrectly as redlinks if used).
• language: The language in which the source is written. If English (the default) do not use this parameter.
• quote: Relevant quotation. Adding a quotation can help locate online copies of the item using a text search, especially if the original link goes dead.
• archiveurl: URL of the archive location of the item (requires archivedate, title, and url); this is for archives such as those at internetarchive.org; for back-issues and the like that are on file at the publisher's site, use the "url" parameter.
• archivedate: Date when the item was archived (requires archiveurl, title, and url), in ISO 8601 YYYY-MM-DD format, e.g. 2006-02-17. Must not be wikilinked; it will be linked automatically. This field does not support American/International dates (they will display incorrectly as redlinks if used).
