[edit] United States government attribution templates

These templates can be added to articles (close to the end of the article, in the References or External links section, for example). Before adding the template to an article, check the details of the usage - some templates require parameters such as a URL. Most of these templates add the articles to the category Wikipedia articles incorporating text from public domain works of the United States Government.

Articles
Reference

[edit] Citations of generic sources

This page is a how-to guide detailing a practice or process on the English Wikipedia.

Shortcuts: WP:CITET WP:CIT WP:CT

See also: WP:Template messages/Cleanup/Verifiability and sources for cleanup request templates, such as "citation needed" and many more.

See also: Handy tools for making references in cite templates, MakeRef and Diberri's template filler

Citation templates are used to format citations in a consistent way. The use of citation templates is neither encouraged nor discouraged. Templates may be used or removed at the discretion of individual editors, subject to agreement with other editors on the article. Because templates can be contentious, editors should not add citation templates, or change an article with a consistent citation format to another, without gaining consensus. The various citation templates below may be freely mixed, since they all produce a similar format.

[edit] Use in footnotes

For a citation to appear in a footnote, it needs to be enclosed in "ref" tags. You can add these by typing <ref> at the front of the citation and </ref> at the end. Alternatively you may notice above the edit box there is a row of "markup" formatting buttons which include a <ref></ref> button to the right - if you highlight your whole citation and then click this markup button, it will automatically enclose your citation in ref tags (i.e. <ref>citation</ref>).

Note, if this is a new page or if there are not already references previously cited, it is necessary to create a "References" section at the end of the page, thus:

== References ==

<references />

or

== References ==

{{Reflist}}

See: Wikipedia style guideline on use of footnotes for more details.

[edit] Using the same footnote multiple times

Optionally, one may add the name attribute by using <ref name=name>details of the citation</ref>. Thereafter, the same footnote may be used multiple times by adding <ref name=name/>. Note well that named references begin with <ref instead of the usual <ref>.

[edit] Using multiple pages from the same source

When an article cites many different pages from the same source, most Wikipedia editors have chosen to use shortened footnotes (see WP:CITESHORT). An alternative method is to use the template {{rp}}. (See Template:Rp/doc)

[edit] Creating links to citations

Wikilinks to citation templates can be created using the templates {{harv}}, {{harvnb}}, {{harvtxt}}, {{sfn}}, etc. For example this "Mumford 1999" links to a citation template below. This is of particular interest for inline citations using parenthetical referencing or when using shortened footnotes.^[1] (See the examples below or wikilinks to full references)

[edit] Using commas rather than periods

{{Citation}} creates a citation in the same format as most of the {{Cite ... }} templates, except that the periods are replaced with commas and there is no final period. A complete list of templates that are mimicked by {{citation}} can be found at {{citation/core}}. The parameters separator= and postscript= (available for most templates) can also be used to affect the punctuation.

[edit] Examples

See also: Category:Citation templates

Below are examples of how to use various templates to cite a book, encyclopedia, journal, website, comic strip, video and editorial comics, etc.

For full description of a template and the parameters which can be used with it — click the template name (e.g. {{Citation}} or {{Cite xxxx}}) in the "template (required)" column of the table below.
Required field(s) are indicated in bold
Copy and paste the text under "common usage" to use the template.
Following each example is the resulting article text.

See also: Wikipedia:Citing sources#Tools for a list of tools which can help create some of the templates below.

Citations are commonly embedded in reference templates. See also: Wikipedia:Footnotes for information on a commonly used reference template.

All the following templates are supported: {{citation}} · {{cite book}} · {{cite journal}} · {{cite web}} · {{cite conference}} · {{cite encyclopedia}} · {{cite mailing list}} · {{cite manual}} · {{cite news}} · {{cite press release}} · {{cite arXiv}} · {{cite video}} (an up-to-date list is at Template:Citation/core). To use the links, the template must define "Surname" (or "Last") and "Year" and must include ref=harv.

[edit] Citations for footnotes and for linking

The following examples are examples of Wikipedia:Footnotes from {{Ref/examples}} are rendered as a template in the following table. These references can be used with the citations above to create a link from the text to the references.

Linking and footnote templates

Tags attached to links in text area:

"{{ref}} example{{ref|reference1}}" — Links to a citation in the Reference section labeled "reference1".
"{{ref label}} example{{ref label|example.com|2|none}}" — Links to a citation in the Reference section labeled "example.com". Text is marked with the number "2".

For two links to the same footnote labeled "example.com", you would:

"{{ref label}} example{{ref label|example.com|3|a}}"
"{{ref label}} example{{ref label|example.com|3|b}}"
"{{ref label}} example{{ref label|nextexample.com|4|4}}"
"{{ref harvard}} example {{ref harvard|lastexample.com|Jones 1999|none}}" — Links to a citation in the Reference section labeled "lastexample.comnone", and marked in the text with (Jones 1999).
"{{ref harv}} example {{ref harv|lastexample.com|Jones 1999|none}}" — Links to a citation in the Reference section labeled "lastexample.comnone", and marked in the text with ^{(Jones 1999)}.
"{{ref harvard}} example {{ref harvard|finalexample.com|Smith 2000|a}}(a)"
"{{ref harv}} example {{ref harv|finalexample.com|Smith 2000|a}}(a)"
"{{ref harvard}} example {{ref harvard|finalexample.com|Smith 2000|b}}(b)"
"{{ref harv}} example {{ref harv|finalexample.com|Smith 2000|b}}(b)"

Tags attached to links in References or Footnote section:

"#{{note|reference1}} example of {{note}}" — In References section, citation labeled "reference1".

"#{{note label|example.com|2|none}}"— In References section, citation labeled "example.comnone". Creates backlink to matching {{ref label}} entry in the text labeled "example.comnone".

Now, if you have two links to the same footnote labeled "example.com", you would do:

"#{{note label|example.com|3|a}}{{note label|example.com|3|b}} example of {{note label}}"

"{{note label|nextexample.com|4|4}} example of {{note label}}"

"{{note label|lastexample.com|Jones 1999|none}}Jones (1999) {{note label}}" -- Note that when the 3rd unnamed parameter is specified as "none", the ^ symbol is rendered for the backlink.
"{{note label|finalexample.com|Smith 2000|a}}{{note label|finalexample.com|Smith 2000|b}}Smith (2000)"

In text area:

{{ref}} example^[1]
{{ref label}} example^[2]
{{ref label}} example^[3]
{{ref label}} example^[3]
{{ref label}} example^[4]
{{ref harvard}} example (Jones 1999)

{{ref harv}} example ^{(Smith 2000)}(a)
