Usage
Copy a blank version to use. Almost all parameter names are supported only in lower case (some initialisms, such as |isbn=
, have upper-case aliases like |ISBN=
which are acceptable for use). Use the |
(vertical bar or "pipe") character between each parameter. Unused parameters may be deleted to avoid clutter in the edit window. Some samples on this documentation page may include the current date; if the date is not current, then the page.
Horizontal format:
{{Cite thesis|last=|first=|date=|title=|url=|degree=|chapter=|publisher=|docket=|oclc=|access-date=}}
Examples
{{Cite thesis|last=Ducklover|first=Arnold A.|year=1901|title=On some aspects of Ducks|degree=Ph.D.|publisher=Duck University}}
- Ducklover, Arnold A. (1901). On some aspects of Ducks (Ph.D. thesis). Duck University.
{{Cite thesis|last=Ducklover|first=Arnold A.|year=1901|title=On some aspects of Ducks|degree=M.Sc.|publisher=Duck University}}
- Ducklover, Arnold A. (1901). On some aspects of Ducks (M.Sc. thesis). Duck University.
{{Cite thesis|last=Ducklover|first=Arnold A.|year=1901|title=On some aspects of Ducks|publisher=Duck University}}
- Ducklover, Arnold A. (1901). On some aspects of Ducks (Thesis). Duck University.
Parameters
Syntax
Nested parameters rely on their parent parameters:
- parent
- OR: parent2—may be used instead of parent
- child—may be used with parent (and is ignored if parent is not used)
- OR: child2—may be used instead of child (and is ignored if parent2 is not used)
- Where aliases are listed, only one of the parameters may be defined; if multiple aliased parameters are defined, then only one will show.
By default, sets of fields are terminated with a full stop .
or "period."
COinS
This template embeds COinS metadata in the HTML output, allowing reference management software to retrieve bibliographic metadata. (See Wikipedia:COinS) As a general rule, supply only one data item per parameter and do not include explanatory or alternate text.
- Use
|date=September 27, 2007
, not|date=September 27, 2007 (print version September 25, 2007)
.
Use of other templates as parameter values for {{Citation}}-family templates is discouraged because many of them add supplementary HTML or CSS code that will be included verbatim in the COinS metadata. Also, HTML entities such as
, –
, or  
should not be used in parameters that contribute to the metadata.
COinS metadata is created for these parameters
Note: This table of metadata is displayed in the documentation of all Citation Style 1 templates. Not all of these parameters are supported by every CS1 template. Some of these parameters are mutually exclusive while other are aliases of another parameter, and some require other parameters to be present. A full list of this template's supported parameters, its aliases and their dependencies is shown in the § Usage section near the top of this documentation page.

Title
- See also: Help:Citation Style 1 § Titles and chapters.
title
: Title of source. Can be wikilinked to an existing Zoophilia Wiki article orurl
may be used to add an external link, but not both. Displays in italics. Ifscript-title
is defined, usetitle
to hold a Romanization (if available) of the title inscript-title
.script-title
: Original title for languages that do not use a Latin-based script (Arabic, Chinese, Cyrillic, Greek, Hebrew, Japanese, Korean, etc.); not italicized, following italicized Romanization defined intitle
(if present). Must be prefixed with one of the supported language codes to help browsers properly display the script:…|title=Tōkyō tawā|script-title=ja:東京タワー|trans-title=Tokyo Tower|…
trans-title
: English translation of the title, if the source cited is in a foreign language. Displays in square brackets aftertitle
. Use of thelanguage
parameter is recommended.
- Titles containing certain characters will not display and link correctly unless those characters are encoded.
New line | [ | ] | | |
---|---|---|---|
space | [ | ] | {{!}} (preferred)
|
{{Bracket|text}} | | or | – See also Help:Table § Rendering the pipe |
title-link
: Title of existing Zoophilia Wiki article about the source named intitle
– do not use a web address and do not wikilink.
chapter
: The chapter heading of the source, may be wikilinked or may usechapter-url
, but not both. Displays in quotes. Ifscript-chapter
is defined, usechapter
to hold a Romanization (if available) of the title inscript-chapter
.script-chapter
: Chapter heading for languages that do not use a Latin-based script (Arabic, Chinese, Cyrillic, Greek, Hebrew, Japanese, Korean, etc.); follows Romanization defined inchapter
(if present). Must be prefixed with one of the supported language codes to help browsers properly display the script:…|chapter=Tōkyō tawā|script-chapter=ja:東京タワー|trans-chapter=Tokyo Tower|…
trans-chapter
: English translation of the chapter heading, if the source cited is in a foreign language; displays in square brackets after thechapter
field. Ifchapter-url
is defined, thentrans-chapter
is included in the link. Use of thelanguage
parameter is recommended.
contribution
: A separately-authored part ofauthor
's book; may be wikilinked or may usecontribution-url
, but not both. Values ofAfterword
,Foreword
,Introduction
, orPreface
will display unquoted; any other value will display in quotation marks. The author of the contribution is given incontributor
.
type
: Provides additional information about the media type of the source displayed in parentheses following the title; may alternatively be used to identify the type of manuscript linked to in the title, if not the manuscript's final version (e.g. if a preprint of a manuscript is freely available, but the version of record is behind a paywall). Format in sentence case. The reserved keyword|type=none
can be used to disable the display of a type, if desired. Defaults to Thesis. Alias:medium
,degree
.degree
: if set, modifies defaulttype
:|degree=PhD
→ (Ph.D. thesis); overridden whentype
is set.
- language: The language or a comma-delimited list of the languages in which the source is written, as either the ISO 639 language code(s) (preferred) or the full language name, displayed in parentheses after the title with "in" before the language name or names. Examples:
|language=ru
;|lang=fr, pt-PT
;|lang=Russian
;|language=French, Portuguese
. See the list of supported codes and names. Do not use templates or wikilinks. When the only source language is English, no language is displayed in the citation. The use of languages recognized by the Citation module adds the page to the appropriate subcategory of Category:CS1 foreign language sources. Aliases: lang
Date
- date: The date of the referenced source, displayed after the authors enclosed in parentheses; can be a full date (month, day and year) or partial (month and year, season and year, or year). Use same format as other publication dates in the citations[date 1] and do not wikilink. If there is no author, then displays after the website and publisher. For acceptable date formats, see Help:Citation Style 1 § Dates.
- Shortened footnotes target full citations using the year specified in this parameter. A lowercase letter may be suffixed to the year to disambiguate
{{Sfn}}
links to multiple works by the same author in the same year[more], unless the date is formatted asYYYY-MM-DD
. In the latter case,year
orref
is required to disambiguate the link targets.
- For no date, or "undated", use
|date=n.d.
, and for approximate years precede with "c.
", as in|date=c. 1900
. - The date of a web page, PDF, etc. with no visible date can sometimes be established by searching the page source or document code for a
created
orupdated
date; a comment for editors such as|date=2021-12-25<!-- Date from page source. -->|orig-date=Original date 2011-01-01
can be added.
- year: The year of publication, however the more flexible
date
parameter detailed above also handles a year by itself. Do not use in combination with the|date=
parameter, unless both of the following conditions are met:- Shortened footnotes target multiple citations with same last name and year of publication. This situation warrants a citation reference anchor disambiguator, usually a lowercase letter suffixed to the year.)
- The
|date=
value is formatted asYYYY-MM-DD
, which prevents the addition of a disambiguating letter to the year.
- orig-date: The original publication date or year, displayed in square brackets after the
date
oryear
; for clarity, please supply specifics. For example:|orig-date=First published 1859
or|orig-date=Composed 1904
. As|orig-date=
does not support automatic date formatting, use the same date format as defined bydf
(or, if it exists, by|cs1-dates=
) or as used in the|date=
parameter. Alias:orig-year
. - df: The date format for rendered dates; does not support date ranges or seasonal dates and overrides the automatic date formatting described above. Accepts one keyword value which may be one of:
mdy
– Set publication dates to month day, year format;access-
andarchive-
dates are not modifieddmy
– As above for day month year formatymd
– As above for year-first numeric format YYYY-MM-DDmdy-all
– Set publication,access-
andarchive-
dates to month day, year formatdmy-all
– As above for day month year formatymd-all
– As above for year-first numeric format YYYY-MM-DD
- ↑ Publication dates in references within an article should all have the same format. This may be a different format from that used for archive and access dates.
Publisher
- publisher: The name of the publisher of the source, displayed after
title
; may be wikilinked[publishers 1] if relevant. The publisher is the company, organization or other legal entity that publishes the work being cited. Do not use thepublisher
parameter for the name of a work (e.g. a website, book, encyclopedia, newspaper, magazine, journal, etc.). If the name of the publisher changed over time, provide the name as stated in the publication or used at the time of the source's publication. Corporate designations such as "Ltd.", "Inc.", or "GmbH" are not usually included. Not normally used for periodicals. Omit where the publisher's name is substantially the same as the name of the work (for example, The New York Times Co. publishes The New York Times newspaper, so there is no reason to name the publisher). - place: For news stories with a dateline, the location where the story was written. If the name of the location changed over time, use the name as stated in the publication or used at the time of the source's publication. This will be treated as the place of publication if the
publication-place
parameter is absent; see below for further information. Alias:location
. - publication-place: The geographical place of publication shown after
title
, generally not wikilinked; omit when the name of the work includes the publication place, as in The Boston Globe or The Times of India. If the name of the publication place changed over time, use the name as stated in the publication or in use at the time of the source's publication. If only one ofpublication-place
,place
orlocation
is defined, it will be treated as the place of publication and be shown after the title; however ifpublication-place
is defined along withplace
orlocation
then the latter is shown before the title prefixed with "written at" andpublication-place
is shown after the title. - publication-date: The source's date of publication, when different from the date it was written. If
date
(oryear
) is also defined and holds a different value, thenpublication-date
displays preceded by "published" and enclosed in parentheses, followingpublisher
. Ifdate
(oryear
) is not defined,publication-date
is displayed asdate
. Use the same format as other dates in the article and do not wikilink. - via: The name of the content deliverer (if different from
publisher
); not a replacement forpublisher
but providing additional detail to it. It may be used when the content deliverer (e.g. NewsBank) presents the source in a format different from the original, when the URL provided does not make clear the identity of the deliverer, where no URL or DOI is available (EBSCO), or if the deliverer requests attribution. See theaccess level
parameters to display access restrictions.
- ↑ The "pipe trick" does not work inside references, so be sure to insert a full wikilink.
Edition, series, volume
edition
: When the publication has more than one edition, for example: "2nd", "Revised", and so forth. Appends the string " ed." after the field, so|edition=2nd
produces "2nd ed." Does not display if a periodical field is defined.
- series: For use when the source is part of a series, such as a book series or a journal, where the issue numbering has restarted. Aliases:
version
.
volume
: For one publication published in several volumes, displays after thetitle
andseries
fields; volume numbers should be entered as a bare number, e.g.37
. Volume values that are wholly digits, uppercase Roman numerals or fewer than five characters will appear in bold. Any alphanumeric value of five or more characters will not appear in bold. In rare cases, publications carry both an ongoing volume and a year-related value; if so, provide them both, for example|volume=IV / #10
.
In-source locations
- page: The number of a single page in the source that supports the content, shown preceded by
p.
unless|no-pp=yes
; use eitherpage
orpages
, but not both. If hyphenated, use {{Hyphen}} to indicate this is intentional (e.g.|page=3{{Hyphen}}12
), otherwise several editors and semi-automated tools will assume this was a misuse of the parameter to indicate a page range and will convert|page=3-12
to|pages=3{{Ndash}}12
. Alias:p
. - pages: A range of pages in the source that supports the content, shown preceded by
pp.
unless|no-pp=yes
; use eitherpage
orpages
, but not both. Separate sequential pages using an en dash (–) and non-sequential pages with a comma (,); do not use to indicate the total number of pages in the source. If hyphens are appropriate because individual page numbers contain hyphens, for example: pp. 3-1–3-15, use double parentheses to tell the template to display the value without processing it and {{Hyphen}} to indicate to other editors that a hyphen is really intended, as in|pages=((3{{Hyphen}}1{{Ndash}}3{{Hyphen}}15))
. Alternatively, useat
, like this:|at=pp. 3-1–3-15
. Alias:pp
.- no-pp: Set to
yes
,y
, ortrue
to suppress the "p." or "pp." page notations where inappropriate; for example, where|page=Front cover
or|pages=passim
.
- no-pp: Set to
- at: For sources where a page number is inappropriate or insufficient; overridden by
page
orpages
. Use only one ofpage
,pages
orat
'.- Examples: page (p.) or pages (pp.); section (sec.), column (col.), paragraph (para.); track; hours, minutes and seconds; act, scene; canto; book; part; folio; stanza; back cover; liner notes; indicia; colophon; dust jacket; verse.
- For
quote-page
andquote-pages
(used in conjunction withquote
), see here.
URL
- url: The URL of an online location where the text of the publication named by
title
can be found; cannot be used iftitle
is wikilinked. If applicable, the link may point to the specific page(s) referenced. Useisbn
oroclc
to provide neutral search links for books, and remove tracking parameters from URLs, e.g.#ixzz2rBr3aO94
or?utm_source=google&utm_medium=…&utm_term=…&utm_campaign=…
. (For linking to pages in PDF files or in Google Books, see Wikipedia:PAGELINKS.) Invalid URLs, including those containing spaces, will result in an error message.- access-date: The full date when the content pointed to by
url
was last verified to resolve successfully and support the text in the article; do not wikilink. Requiresurl
; use the same format as other access and archive dates in the citations.[date 1] Not required for linked documents that do not change, such as links to published research papers or published books. For example,access-date
is required for online sources, such as personal websites, that do not have a publication date; see Wikipedia:Citing sources § Web pages. Can be hidden or styled by registered editors. Alias:accessdate
. - url-access: See § Access indicators for url-holding parameters.
- archive-url: The URL of an archived snapshot of a web page, typically used to refer to services such as Internet Archive (see Using the Wayback Machine) and archive.today (see Using archive.today); requires
archive-date
andurl
. By default (overridden by|url-status=live
) the archived link is displayed first, with the original link at the end. Alias:archiveurl
.- archive-date: The archive service's snapshot-date, displayed with "archived from the original on date" prepended; use the same format as other
access-
andarchive-
dates in the citations. This does not necessarily have to be the same format that was used for citing publication dates.[date 1] Do not wikilink; templated dates are discouraged. Alias:archivedate
. - archive-format: The file format of the work referred to by
archive-url
, such DOC or XLS; displayed in parentheses after the archive snapshot link (HTML is implied and should not be specified). PDF is auto-detected and need not be specified; does not change the external link icon, except for PDFs. Note: External link icons do not include alt text, thus they do not add file format information for the visually impaired, but this is not a concern for PDFs because the auto-detection will add "(PDF)" as descriptive text. (See Using |format=.)
- archive-date: The archive service's snapshot-date, displayed with "archived from the original on date" prepended; use the same format as other
- url-status: A control parameter to select one of
url
orarchive-url
to linktitle
to; requiresurl
andarchive-url
. Use{{Dead link}}
to mark dead URLs when there is no archive service snapshot link.- Accepts multiple keywords:
dead
– Default condition whenurl-status
is undefined or value is null; linkstitle
toarchive-url
.live
– Linkstitle
tourl
; use when original source is preemptively archived with an archive service while it still resolves.deviated
– Use whenurl
still resolves but the content no longer supports the text in the wiki article; linkstitle
toarchive-url
.unfit
– Use when source page contains elements related to vice (gambling, pornography), advertising or other unsuitable content; linkstitle
toarchive-url
and suppressesurl
in the rendered article. If an entire domain is unsuitable, consider using the usurped keyword instead.usurped
– Use when the domain inurl
no longer serves its original intent, particularly when the domain has been (mis)appropriated by other entities such as vice, reseller and advertising sites; linkstitle
toarchive-url
and suppresses links tourl
in the rendered page.
- Accepts multiple keywords:
- access-date: The full date when the content pointed to by
- format: The file format of the work referred to by
url
, such as DOC or XLS; displayed in parentheses aftertitle
. For media formats, usetype
; HTML is implied and should not be specified, while PDF is auto-detected and need not be specified. Does not change the external link icon, except for PDFs. Note: External link icons do not include alt text, thus they do not add file format information for the visually impaired, but this is not a concern for PDFs because the auto-detection will add "(PDF)" as descriptive text. (See Using |format=.)
URLs must begin with a supported URI scheme. http://
and https://
will be supported by all browsers; however, ftp://
, gopher://
, irc://
, ircs://
, mailto:
, news:
and tel:
may require additional extensions or an external application and should normally be avoided. Bare IPv6 host names are currently not supported.
If URLs in citation template parameters contain certain characters, then they will not display and link correctly: those characters need to be percent-encoded. For example, a space must be replaced by %20
. To percent-encode the URL, replace the following characters with:
Character | (space)
|
"
|
'
|
<
|
>
|
[
|
]
|
{
|
|

|
%7D
|
Single apostrophes do not need to be encoded; however, unencoded multiples of them will be parsed as italic or bold markup. Single curly closing braces also do not need to be encoded; however, an unencoded pair will be parsed as the double closing braces for the template transclusion.
Anchor
- ref: The citation's HTML anchor identifier. When set,
|ref=ID
generates a custom anchor with the given ID (theid=
attribute in the citation's<cite id="ID">
HTML tag) and identifies the template as a target and allows wikilinking to full references, which is especially useful with short-form citations like shortened notes and parenthetical referencing. The default anchor ID is suitable for use with {{Sfn}} and {{Harvard citation}} templates. To inhibit anchor ID creation altogether, set|ref=none
. The parameter/keyword pair|ref=harv
no longer holds any special meaning; this deprecated setting should not be used and may be removed from existing CS1 & CS2 templates. Aliases: none. (See Template:Citation/doc § Anchors for Harvard referencing templates.)
Identifiers
- id: A unique identifier, used where none of the specialized identifiers are applicable; wikilink or use an external link template as applicable. For example,
|id=CoL 4JQ8
will append "CoL 4JQ8" at the end of the citation (see {{Catalogue of Life}}), or you can use templates such as|id={{MSW3|id=13801049|pages=391–393}}
to append Template:MSW3 instead.
- Aliases:

The following identifiers create links and are designed to accept a single value. Using multiple values or other text will break the link and/or invalidate the identifier. In general, the parameters should include only the variable part of the identifier, e.g. |rfc=822
or |pmc=345678
.

. - isbn: An International Standard Book Number (ISBN); use the code actually printed on or in the book, giving preference to the newer 13-digit format beginning with
978
/979
when it is available, though the older 10-digit format still generates valid links if that is the only one present. Do not convert a 10-digit code to the 13-digit format just by adding the 978 prefix; the terminal digit is a calculated checksum and making changes to the numbers will make the code invalid. Hyphens in the ISBN are optional, but preferred. ISBNs can be found on the page with the publisher's information—usually the back of the title page—or beneath the barcode as a number beginning with 978 or 979 (barcodes beginning with any other numbers are not ISBNs). (See WP:ISBN and ISBN § Overview.) For sources with the even older 9-digit Standard Book Number (SBN) codes, usesbn
. This parameter should hold only the ISBN, without any additional information; it is checked for length and invalid characters: anything other than numbers, spaces and hyphens, with "X" permitted as the last character for the 10-digit format or the proper check digit. Example:|isbn=978-0-8126-9593-9

In very rare cases, identifiers are published which do not follow their defined standard format, or use non-conforming checksums, which would typically cause an error message to be shown by the CS1 & CS2 template families. If you encounter such a situation, do not alter them to match a different checksum. In order to suppress the error message, some identifiers (doi
, eissn
, isbn
, issn
and sbn
) support a special accept-this-as-written markup which can be applied to disable the templates' error-checking function (as |<param>=((<value>))
). However, if the problem is down to a mere typographical error in a third-party source, correct the identifier value instead of overriding the error message.
For some identifiers, it is possible to specify the access status using the corresponding |<param>-access=
parameter.
For {{Cite journal}}, some identifiers (specifying free resources) will automatically be linked to the title when the url
and title-link
parameters are not present to explicitly define a link target. This behaviour can be overridden by one of a number of special keywords for the title-link
parameter to manually select a specific source (such as |title-link=pmc
or |title-link=doi
) for auto-linking, or to disable the feature (with |title-link=none
).
It is not necessary to specify a URL to a link identical to a link also produced by an identifier. The url
parameter (or title-link
) can then be used for providing a direct deep link to the corresponding document, or a convenience link to a resource that would not otherwise be obviously accessible.
Quote
- quote: A relevant text snippet quoted from the source, displayed enclosed in double quotation marks. When supplied, the citation terminator (a full stop
.
or "period" by default) is suppressed, so the quote must include terminating punctuation. Ifscript-quote
is defined, usequote
to hold a Romanization (if available) of the text inscript-quote
.- script-quote: The original quotation supplied to
quote
, for languages that do not use a Latin-based script (Arabic, Chinese, Cyrillic, Greek, Hebrew, Japanese, Korean, etc.), shown unitalicized following the italicized Romanization defined inquote
(if available). Must be prefixed with one of the supported language codes to help browsers properly display the script. Alias: none.…|quote=Tōkyō tawā|script-quote=ja:東京タワー|trans-quote=Tokyo Tower…
- trans-quote: The English translation of the quotation, if the source quoted is in a foreign language, displayed enclosed by square brackets. Alias: none.
- script-quote: The original quotation supplied to
- quote-page: The number of a single page quoted in
quote
; use eitherquote-page
orquote-pages
, but not both. This should be a subset of the page(s) specified inpage
,pages
orat
. Shown preceded byp.
, unless|no-pp=yes
is specified. If hyphenated, use {{Hyphen}} to indicate this is intentional (e.g.|quote-page=3{{Hyphen}}12
). Alias: none. - quote-pages: A list or range of pages quoted in
quote
; use eitherquote-page
orquote-pages
, but not both. This should be a subset of the pages specified inpages
orat
. Use an en dash (–) to indicate the page range, separating non-sequential pages with a comma,
. Output is preceded bypp.
unless|no-pp=yes
is defined. Hyphens are automatically converted to en dashes; if hyphens are appropriate because individual page numbers contain hyphens, such as:pp. 3-1–3-15
, use doubled parentheses to force the template to display the value ofquote-pages
without processing it, and use {{Hyphen}} to indicate to other editors that a hyphen is really intended, as in:|quote-pages=((3{{Hyphen}}1{{Ndash}}3{{Hyphen}}15))
. Alias: none.
Editors
- editor-last: The surname of a single editor; do not wikilink—instead use
editor-link
. Where the surname is usually written first—as in Chinese—or for corporate authors, simply useeditor-last
to include the same format as the source. Aliases:editor-last1
,editor1-last
,editor-surname
,editor-surname1
,editor1-surname
,editor
andeditor1
.- editor: This parameter is used to hold the complete name of a single editor (first, middle and last, with honorifics, post-nominals and suffixes) or the name of an editorial committee. This parameter should never hold the names of more than one individual editor, save collectively.
- This parameter supports accept-this-as-written markup.
- editor-first: The given or first names of a single editor, including title(s); do not wikilink—instead use
editor-link
. Examples: Firstname Middlename, Firstname M., Dr. Firstname M., Sr.. Aliases:editor-first1
,editor1-first
,editor-given
,editor-given1
andeditor1-given
. - For multiple editors, use

,editor-firstn
. For an individual editor plus an institutional editor, use|editor-first1=…
,|editor-last1=…
and|editor2=…
. Aliases:editorn-last
,editor-surnamen
oreditorn-surname
;editorn-first
,editor-givenn
oreditorn-given
;editorn
. - editor-link: The title of an existing Wikipedia article about the editor—not the editor's website; do not wikilink. Aliases:
editor-link1
. - For multiple editors, use
editor-link1
througheditor-linkn
. Alias:editorn-link
. - name-list-style: One of the following keywords:
amp
,ampersand
or&
: Inserts an ampersand between the last two entries in the list of names.and
: Inserts the conjunction 'and' between the last two entries in the list of names.vanc
: Displays listed names in Vancouver style when the lists use thelast
/first
forms of the author name parameters.
- editor: This parameter is used to hold the complete name of a single editor (first, middle and last, with honorifics, post-nominals and suffixes) or the name of an editorial committee. This parameter should never hold the names of more than one individual editor, save collectively.
- veditors: A comma-delimited list of editor names in Vancouver style; enclose corporate or institutional editor names in doubled parentheses and conclude with "et al." if appropriate. Example:
|veditors=Smythe JB, ((Megabux Corp.)), et al.
editor-linkn
andeditor-maskn
may be used for the individual names inveditors
, as described above.
- Display: Use
display-editors
to control the length of the displayed editor name list, and to specify when "et al." is included.- If authors are listed: Authors are first, followed by the included work, then "In" and the editors, then the main work.
- If no authors are listed: Editors appear before the included work; a single editor is followed by "ed." while multiple editors are followed by "eds."
Display options
- mode: Sets the element separator, default terminal punctuation and certain capitalization choices. For
|mode=cs1
the element separator and terminal punctuation is a full stop (.
) or "period" and where appropriate, initial letters of certain words are capitalized ('Retrieved…'); for|mode=cs2
the element separator is a comma (,
), terminal punctuation is omitted, and where appropriate, initial letters of certain words are not capitalized ('retrieved…'). These styles correspond to Citation Style 1 and Citation Style 2, respectively. To override default terminal punctuation only, use thepostscript
parameter. - contributor-mask, editor-mask, interviewer-mask, subject-mask and translator-mask: Replaces the name of the (first) author with em dashes or text. Set <name>-mask to a numeric value n to set the dash n em spaces wide and/or set <name>-mask to a text value to display the text without a trailing author separator, such as "with". The numeric value
0
is a special case to be used in conjunction with <name>-link—in this case, the value of <name>-link will be used as (linked) text. In either case, you must still include the values listing the names for all associated people/entities for metadata purposes. This parameter is primarily intended for use with bibliographies, especially when styled so multiple works by a single author are listed sequentially, such as Template:Sfnote. Do not use in a list generated by {{Reflist}}, the<references />
tag or anything similar, as there is no control of the order in which references are placed. Mask parameters can take an enumerator in the name of the parameter (e.g.|authorn-mask=
) to apply the mask to a specific name.
, - display-contributors, display-editors, display-interviewers, display-subjects and display-translators: Controls the number of author (or other contributor type) names that are displayed; by default, all are. To limit the number of names shown, set the parameter to the desired number, for example
|display-authors=2
will display only the first two authors in a citation (and not affect the display of the other contributor types).|display-authors=0
is a special case that suppresses the display of all authors, including the et al. (|display-authors=etal
displays all authors in the list followed by "et al.") Aliases: none.
, - postscript: Determines the closing punctuation for a citation, defaulting to a full stop
.
or "period"; for no terminating punctuation, specify|postscript=none
– leaving this parameter empty is the same as omitting it, but unhelpfully ambiguous to other editors. Additional text or templates that render more than a single terminating punctuation character will generate a maintenance message. This parameter is ignored ifquote
is defined.
Subscription or registration required
Citations of online sources that require registration or a paid subscription are acceptable on Zoophilia Wiki. As a courtesy to readers and other editors, editors should signal restrictions on access to material provided via the external links included in citations. These levels describe requirements or constraints related to accessing and viewing the cited material; they are not intended to indicate the ability to reuse, or the copyright status of the material, since that status is not relevant to providing evidence in support of the information found in articles here.
Four access levels can be defined for citation template links.
- § Access indicators for named identifiers:
-
free
: The source is free to be read by anyone.
-
- § Access indicators for url-holding parameters:
-
registration
: Registration with the provider is required to access the source without any cost, even if a limited preview, abstract or review may still be available without registration. -
limited
: Free access is subject to a limited trial period after which a paid subscription is normally required. -
subscription
: The source is only accessible via a paid subscription with the provider (behind a "paywall").
-
As there are often multiple external links with different access levels in the same citation, each value is attributed to a specific external link.
Access indicators for url-holding parameters
Online sources linked by url
, article-url
, chapter-url
, contribution-url
, entry-url
, map-url
and section-url
are presumed to be free-to-read. When they are not, editors should mark those sources with the matching access indicator parameter so that an appropriate icon is included in the rendered citation. Because the sources linked by these URL-holding parameters are presumed to be free-to-read, they cannot be explicitly marked as free
. If the registration/limited/subscription access to the source goes dead and is no longer available, then remove the access-indicator parameter and add value for the archive-url
and archive-date
parameters, if possible.

…which gets rendered as…
- "Nifty example data". April 15, 2021.
Access indicator for named identifiers
Links inserted by named identifiers, such as doi
, are presumed to lie behind a paywall or registration barrier and lack free full-text access by default, with exceptions listed below. When they are free-to-read, editors should mark those sources with the corresponding |indicator-access=free
key/value pair so that an appropriate icon is included in the rendered citation. When the sources linked by these named-identifier parameters are not presumed to carry free-to-read full-text access (as when they're just abstracting services), they may not be marked as limited
, registration
or subscription
.
Identifier parameter | Access indicator | Valid keywords |
---|---|---|

citeseerx
medrxiv
pmc
rfc
ssrn

Tracking of free DOIs
- The template is able to recognize known free-to-read DOI registrants based on a list in Module:Citation/CS1/Configuration. Once a free registrant is identified, the
10.xxxx/...
part of the DOI associated with the registrant can be added to the list under local function build_free_doi_registrants_table(). If|doi-access=free
is not set, it will place the page in Category:CS1 maint: unflagged free DOI. - The template is also able to recognize known free-to-read journals, assuming they have a clear
10.xxxx/yyyy....
DOI pattern. Once that pattern is identified, it can be added to Module:Citation/CS1/Configuration under local extended_registrants_t = { with the format['XXXX'] = {'YYYY'},
. If there are multiple journals with the same DOI prefix, they can be grouped together with the format['XXXX'] = {'YYYY', 'ZZZZ', '...'},
