===Required parameters===
*'''url''': URL of online item.
*'''title''': Title of online item.
''For producing a wikilinked date of retrieval:''
:*'''accessdate''': Full date when item was accessed, in [[wikipedia:ISO 8601|ISO 8601]] YYYY-MM-DD format, for example "accessdate = {{CURRENTYEAR}}-{{CURRENTMONTH}}-{{CURRENTDAY2}}". ''Must not be wikilinked''
''For producing a non-wikilinked date of retrieval:''
:*'''accessmonthday''' and '''accessyear''': Month and day when item was accessed, for example "accessmonthday = May 10", and year when item was accessed, for example "accessyear = 2005". Produces: ''Retrieved on May 10, 2006.''
:*'''accessdaymonth''' and '''accessyear''': Month and day when item was accessed, for example "accessmonthday = 10 May", and year when item was accessed, for example "accessyear = 2005". Produces: ''Retrieved on 10 May 2006.''

===Optional parameters===
*'''author''': Author
**'''last''' works with '''first''' to produce <code>last, first</code>
**'''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
*'''date''': Full date of publication, preferably in [[wikipedia:ISO 8601|ISO 8601]] YYYY-MM-DD format, e.g. ''2006-02-17''. May be wikilinked.
**OR: '''year''': Year of publication, and '''month''': Name of the month of publication. If you also have the day, use ''date'' instead. Must not be wikilinked.
*'''format''': Format, e.g. PDF. HTML implied if not specified.
*'''work''': If this item is part of a larger work, name of that work.
*'''publisher''': Publisher, if any.
*'''pages''': ''pp. 5–7'': first page and optional last page. This is for listing the pages relevant to the citation, not the total number of pages in the book. This is especially useful for [[wikipedia:PDF|PDF]] format, where the page can be linked to with the <code>#page=''number''</code> anchor tagged on the end of the URL:
*:<code><nowiki>pages = [http://www.example.org/file.pdf#page=123 p. 123]</nowiki></code>
*'''language''': language of publication (don't specify "English" as this is the default).
* '''doi''': A [[wikipedia:digital object identifier|digital object identifier]] for the document, such as ''<nowiki>10.1038/news070508-7</nowiki>''
**'''Doilabel''': If the doi contains some characters that must be [[wikipedia:Percent-encoding|escaped]], use "doilabel" for the unescaped version. See {{[[wikipedia:template:doi]]}}: "id" is equivalent to "doi" and "label" is "doilabel"
*'''archiveurl''': URL of the archive location of the item
*'''archivedate''': Date when the item was archived (requires '''archiveurl'''), in [[wikipedia:ISO 8601|ISO 8601]] YYYY-MM-DD format, e.g. ''2006-02-17''. Must not be wikilinked; it will be linked automatically.
*'''quote''': Relevant quote from online item.
