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''': Since "the date" is a single parameter in the code, the [[ISO 8601|ISO 8601 date format]] (YYYY-MM-DD) should be used; something like <code>date=July 31, 2004</code> doesn't work correctly.
