{{documentation subpage}}
This template is for [[Wikipedia:Citing sources|citing sources]]. <br>
For a list of citation templates, see [[Wikipedia:Citation templates]].
The use of citation templates is recommended, but not mandatory. See [[Wikipedia:Citing sources]] for the relevant style guidelines.
Please consider using specific citation templates before using this general template.
'''Example:'''<br>
Code: <pre>{{cite |author=Fred Bloggs |title=A book |publisher=A Publisher |date=2004-07-31 }}</pre>
Result:
:{{cite|author=Fred Bloggs|title=A book|publisher=A Publisher|date=2004-07-31}}<br>
'''Note''': As "the date" is a single parameter in the code, using something like ''date=July 31, 2004'' doesn't work. Hence the ISO date format is used in the example.
