* <b id="csdoc_url">url</b>: URL of an online location where the {{#if:{{{media|}}}|media|text of the publication}} named by '''title''' can be found. Cannot be used if '''title''' is wikilinked. If applicable, the link may point to the specific page(s) referenced. Remove tracking parameters from URLs, e.g. <code>#ixzz2rBr3aO94</code> or {{nowrap|<code><nowiki>?utm_source=google&utm_medium=...&utm_term=...&utm_campaign=...</nowiki></code>}}. {{crossref|For linking to pages in PDF files or in Google Books, see [[WP:PAGELINKS]].}} Do not link to any commercial booksellers, such as [[Amazon (company)|Amazon]]; use {{para|isbn}} or {{para|oclc}} to provide neutral search links for books. Invalid URLs, including those containing spaces, will result in an error message.
** <b id="csdoc_accessdate">access-date</b>: Full date when the content pointed to by '''url''' was last verified to support the text in the article; do not wikilink; requires '''url'''; use the same format as other access and archive dates in the citations.{{r|date|group=date}} ''Not required for linked documents that do not change.'' For example, '''access-date''' is required for online sources, such as personal websites, that do not have a publication date; see [[WP:CITEWEB]]. Access dates are not required for links to published research papers
** <b id="csdoc_archiveurl">archive-url</b>: The URL of an [[Web archiving|archived]] snapshot of a web page. Typically used to refer to services such as [[Internet Archive]] {{crossref|(see [[Wikipedia:Using the Wayback Machine]])}}, [[WebCite]] {{crossref|(see [[
*** <b id="csdoc_archivedate">archive-date</b>: Archive-service snapshot-date; preceded in display by default text "archived from the original on". Use the same format as other access and archive dates in the citations. This does not necessarily have to be the same format that was used for citing publication dates.{{r|date|group=date}} Do not wikilink; templated dates are discouraged. See [[#csdoc_auto-date-format|"Automatic date formatting"]] above for details about interaction with {{tlx|use dmy dates}} and {{tlx|use mdy dates}}. Alias: '''archivedate'''.
*** <b id="csdoc_urlstatus">url-status</b>:
*** <b id="csdoc_archive_format">archive-format</b>: File format of the work referred to by '''archive-url'''; for example: PDF, DOC, or XLS; displayed in parentheses after the archive link.
** <b id="csdoc_url_access">url-access</b>: {{crossref|See [[#Access indicators for url-holding parameters|Access indicators for url-holding parameters]]}}
* <b id="csdoc_format">format</b>: File format of the work referred to by '''url'''; for example: PDF, DOC, or XLS; displayed in parentheses after '''title'''. (For media format, use '''type'''.) HTML is implied and should not be specified. File format annotation is automatically rendered when a PDF icon is displayed. Does not change the [[Help:External link icons|external link icon]]. Note: External link icons do not include [[Wikipedia:ALT|alt text]]; thus, they do not add file format information for the visually impaired. {{crossref|See [[Help:
{{MediaWiki URL rules}}
{{reflist|group=date|refs=<ref name=date>Access-date and archive-date in references should all have the same format – either the format used for publication dates, or YYYY-MM-DD. {{crossref|See [[MOS:DATEUNIFY]].}}</ref>}}
