Module:Cite web/doc
This is the documentation page for Module:Cite web
 | This module is rated as ready for general use. It has reached a mature form and is thought to be relatively bug-free and ready for use wherever appropriate. It is ready to mention on help pages and other Wikipedia resources as an option for new users to learn. To reduce server load and bad output, it should be improved by sandbox testing rather than repeated trial-and-error editing. |
 | This Lua module is used on approximately 26,000 pages and changes may be widely noticed. Test changes in the module's /sandbox or /testcases subpages, or in your own module sandbox. Consider discussing changes on the talk page before implementing them. |
 | This module should only be used on articles which are near the post-expand include size limit, in order to prevent them exceeding it. Unless there is a pressing technical need, use {{Cite web}} like normal. |
 | This module depends on the following other modules: |
Usage
mali niŋThis module may be placed directly on articles by replacing {{Cite web| with {{#invoke:Cite web|| (note the double pipe). This is likely to be unclear to other editors and should only be done to prevent pages exceeding the post-expand include size limit. It is also fine to use in templates that wrap {{Cite web}}.
For the module that actually implements {{Cite web}}, see Module:Citation/CS1.
