Usage

This is an experimental way to cite the technical specifications of Macintosh models in a uniform way from developer Apple Inc. and third party EveryMac.com. Apple, as a primary source, is the most reliable, but its information is often sparse. EveryMac.com was selected as the least commercial and most reliable of a handful of sites dedicated to legacy Macintosh specifications.

All parameters
{{cite web |model= |appleNumber= |everyURL= |accessdate= }}
  • model is a string that is used to identify the specific Macintosh being cited.
  • appleNumber refers to the 5-character identifier, listed after "Article", on the tech spec page you are citing. Search for articles.
  • everyURL refers to the second half of the URL from EveryMac.com, beginning immediately after system/apple/. Find articles.
  • accessdate is today's date.
