This documentation is transcluded from Template:Cite news/doc and needs to be edited separately.

This template is used when making a citation of news article, be it published in print or online.

Other similar templates:

  • {{Cite web}} - to cite a webpage that isn't a news article.

Usage

Most parameters on news citations are optional. It is required that, at least, the article title and the work that published it be named. Everything else is optional.

Ideally you should also supply information about the author and date the news article was written, if that information is available.

{{Cite news
| title=Meet the Bronies: The men (and women) who love My Little Pony
| work=[[:wikipedia:Bristol Post|Bristol Post]]
| date=2014-04-09
| last=Emanuel
| first=Louis
}}

If the article is published online, provide the article's URL and the date you accessed it (just in case the article vanishes later on).

{{Cite news
| title=Meet the Bronies: The men (and women) who love My Little Pony
| work=[[:wikipedia:Bristol Post|Bristol Post]]
| date=2014-04-09
| last=Emanuel
| first=Louis
| url=https://www.bristolpost.co.uk/news/bristol-news/meet-bristol-bronies-men-who-694325
| accessdate=2020-10-03
}}

Author attribution

If the author published their work under their real name, and their real name is composed of distinct first and last names, provide their name as separate fields.

{{Cite news
| title=''My Little Pony'' Fans Are Ready to Admit They Have a Nazi Problem
| first=Kaitlyn
| last=Tiffany
| date=2020-06-23
| url=https://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2020/06/my-little-pony-nazi-4chan-black-lives-matter/613348/
| accessdate=2020-10-03
}}

If published under a username, pseudonym, their name is a mononym, or there are multiple credited authors, use the author parameter instead.

{{Cite news
| title=Equestria LA Announcing Andrea Libman and Brenda Crichlow
| author=Telofy
| date=2013-03-13
| url=https://mlp.derpynews.com/equestria-la-announcing-andrea-libman-and-brenda-crichlow/
| accessdate=2020-10-03
}}

If the article is published without author attribution, or attributes it to a collective—such as staff writers—no author attribution is necessary.

Quotes

You can quote a short section of the article using the quote parameter. This will be appended to the end of the citation wrapped in quotation marks.

Keep this part brief, to a sentence or less if you can.

{{Cite news
| title='My Little Pony' Voice Actress Never Thought She'd Be Partying With 'Bronies'
| work=[[:wikipedia:HuffPost|HuffPost]]
| first=Andy
| last=Campbell
| url=https://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/brony-tale-documentary_n_5218110
| quote=It's amazing to get that kind of praise for the work that you do. I'm just a voice actress!
}}

Archive links

Webpages are impermanent and tend to move or disappear over time. When referencing a page that no longer exists, try to find it on an archive service (such as the Wayback Machine) instead.

When referencing an archived page, provide the URL to the archived version of the page, along with the date that the archive was made in YYYY-MM-DD format.

{{Cite news
| title=The fascinating sub-culture of 'Bronies'
| work=[[:wikipedia:Newshub|Newshub]]
| first=David
| last=Farrier
| date=2014-05-30
| url=http://www.newshub.co.nz/tvshows/paulhenryshow/the-fascinating-subculture-of-bronies-2014053022%23axzz4BfgIF0if
| accessdate=2020-10-03
| archiveurl=https://archive.vn/20161107211549/http://www.newshub.co.nz/tvshows/paulhenryshow/the-fascinating-subculture-of-bronies-2014053022%23axzz4BfgIF0if

Printed and non-HTML formats

A number of additional parameters exist specifically for printed media and articles hosted online in a paged, non-HTML format, such as an ebook version of a magazine.

  • edition - For publishers that issue multiple editions of the same publication.
  • format - If the article is published online but in a non-HTML format, provide what format it is (such as PDF).
  • issue - For publications that are released periodically, such as magazines.
  • page - Page the article was printed on.
    • Use pages if more than one. Use an en dash for spanning multiple continuous pages (such as 12–13) and commas for non-continuous spans (3, 6).
  • publisher - The publisher of the work.
  • volume - The volume number of the work in which the article appears.
