This Lua module is used on many 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 depends on the following other modules:

Module:Citation/CS1 (sandbox)

Usage

This 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.

TemplateData

This is the TemplateData for this template used by TemplateWizard, VisualEditor and other tools. See a monthly parameter usage report for Template:Cite web in articles based on its TemplateData.

TemplateData for Cite web

This module is like {{Cite web}} with two exceptions. It is only for use on pages with lots of citations (e.g. several hundred) where that is causing technical problems, and you must pass an empty first parameter. For all other usage information, see [[Template:Cite web]].

 {{Notice|This module should ''only'' be used on articles which are near the [[WP:PEIS|post-expand include size]] limit, in order to prevent them exceeding it. Unless there is a pressing technical need, use {{tl|{{BASEPAGENAME}}}} like normal.}}
