Citations of online sources that require registration or a subscription are acceptable in Wikipedia as documented in [[WP:PAYWALL|Verifiability § Access to sources]]<!-- {{Section link|Wikipedia:Verifiability|Access to sources}} -->. As a courtesy to readers and other editors, editors should<!-- can --> signal restrictions on access to material provided via the external links included in a citation. 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 [[WP:V|verifying claims in articles]].  


Four access levels can be used:
<!-- There are four access levels split between the url-holding parameters and the identifier parameters. -->Four access levels can be used:

As there are often multiple external links with different access levels in the same citation, these values are attributed to a particular external link.

=====Access indicators for url-holding parameters=====
Sources linked by {{para|url}}, {{para|article-url}}, {{para|chapter-url}}, {{para|contribution-url}}, {{para|entry-url}}, {{para|map-url}}, and {{para|section-url}} are presumed to be free-to-read.<ref name=NotRef>{{NotRef}}</ref> When they are not free-to-read, 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 may not be marked as <code>free</code>.
<!-- ====Access level of url-holding parameters==== -->
<!--
There are several url-holding parameters. Each may be marked with an access icon. Links inserted with any of the url-holding parameters are expected to be free-to-read by default, so {{para|url-access|free}} is not valid. For a URL that is not free-to-read, editors may use the matching access-icon parameter with the appropriate keyword.

<!-- ====Access level of identifiers==== -->
<!--
Links inserted by identifiers such as {{para|doi}} are not expected to offer a free full text by default. If they do, editors can use {{para|doi-access|free}} (in the case of {{para|doi}}) to indicate the relevant access level.
Some identifiers always link to free full texts. In this case, the access level is automatically indicated by the template. This is the case for {{para|arxiv}}, {{para|biorxiv}}, {{para|citeseerx}}, {{para|pmc}}, {{para|rfc}} and {{para|ssrn}}.

Links inserted by named identifiers are presumed to lie behind a paywall or registration barrier – exceptions listed below. When they are free-to-read, 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 named-identifier parameters are not presumed to be free-to-read, they may not be marked as <code>limited</code>, <code>registration</code>, or <code>subscription</code>.
