This template is used to [[WP:CITE|cite sources]] in Wikipedia. It is intended specifically for news sources. For citing journals/magazines and websites, see {{tl|Cite journal}} and {{tl|Cite web}}, respectively.

==Usage==
All parameter names '''''must''''' be [[lower case]].

Copy a blank version to use. Remember to use the "{{para}}" (pipe) character between each field.  Please delete any unused fields to avoid clutter in the edit window.

Citations within a page should use consistent formats. However, there is no consensus about which format is best.
