Purpose[edit]

Webref is a lightweight alternative to {{Cite web}} for wikis where that template is not available. It formats basic web citations for use inside <ref> tags.

Usage[edit]

<ref>{{Webref
 |url=https://example.com/article
 |title=Example Article
 |site=Example News
 |author=John Doe
 |date=2024-05-12
 |access=2025-08-20
}}</ref>

Parameters[edit]

  • url – (required) the full link.
  • title – the page/video/article title (italicized).
  • site – website/platform name (defaults to "Website").
  • author – optional author/uploader name.
  • date – publication/upload date.
  • access – date accessed.

Example[edit]

Hefest streams regularly on Twitch.<ref>{{Webref
 |url=https://www.twitch.tv/hefest
 |title=Hefest on Twitch
 |site=Twitch
 |access=2025-08-20}}</ref>

== References ==
<references />

Renders as: [1]

And then renders in the references list as:

  1. Hefest on Twitch.. Twitch . Accessed 2025-08-20.
