This is a documentation subpage for Template:Cite mailing list. It contains usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page. |
This template is used to cite sources in Wikipedia. It is specifically for archived public mailing lists. It calls {{cite web}} as a backend, but has uniform parameters which will hopefully lead to a standard way of citing mailing list records.
A general discussion of the use of templates for adding citation of open-source web content to Wikipedia articles is available at citation templates.
Usage
- Common form for cases where only the message is available (with current date)
- {{cite mailing list |url= |title= |date= |accessdate=2024-12-02 |mailinglist= |last= |first= |authorlink= }}
- Full syntax (with current date)
- {{cite mailing list |url= |title= |date= |accessdate=2024-12-02 |mailinglist= |last= |first= |author= |authorlink= |language= |quote= |archiveurl= |archivedate=}}
Examples
- {{cite mailing list | url = http://lists.debian.org/debian-announce/debian-announce-1996/msg00021.html | title = Debian Linux Distribution Release 1.1 Now Available | mailinglist = debian-announce | date = [[1996-06-17]] | last = Perens |first = Bruce |authorlink=Bruce Perens }}
→ Perens, Bruce (1996-06-17). "Debian Linux Distribution Release 1.1 Now Available". debian-announce (Mailing list). Check date values in:|date=
(help)
- Omitting a required parameter
- {{cite mailing list | title = Debian Linux Distribution Release 1.1 Now Available | mailinglist = debian-announce | date = [[1996-06-17]] | last = Perens |first = Bruce |authorlink=Bruce Perens }}
→ Perens, Bruce (1996-06-17). "Debian Linux Distribution Release 1.1 Now Available". debian-announce (Mailing list). Check date values in:|date=
