  • url: URL of an online location where the text of the publication can be found.
  • title: Title of web page. Displays in quotes.
  • archiveurl: The URL of an archived copy of a web page, if or in case the url becomes unavailable. Typically used to refer to services like WebCite and the Internet Archive; requires archivedate.
  • archivedate: Date when the item was archived; use the same format as other access and archive dates in the citations; Displays preceded by "archived from the original on". Use {{subst:#time: Y-m-d}} to automatically put today's date in Y-M-D format.
  • deadurl: When the URL is still live, but preemptively archived, then set |deadurl=no. This changes the display order with the title retaining the original link and the archive linked at the end.
  • date: Full date of source being referenced in the same format as other publication dates in the citations. This is the date mentioned on the website (if any).
  • accessdate: Full date when URL was accessed; use the same format as other access and archive dates in the citations;
  • quote: Relevant text quoted from the source. Displays enclosed in quotes. When supplied, the citation terminator (a period by default) is suppressed, so the quote needs to include terminating punctuation.
  • publisher (organization or website's name such as "Discovery Channel")
  • series: (used only sometimes) additional information that cannot be included under author or publisher. For example journal number
