Template:Link/doc

Description
This template is used to paste links in references in easy way.

This template roughly follows APA format: Last name, Initials [Account name]. (Year, Month Day).  Title  [Type]. Site name.

When there's no author name:

Account name. (Year, Month Day).  Title  [Type]. Site name.

When there's no author and account names:

 Title  [Type]. (Year, Month Day). Site name.

Notice: the template may not be previewed correctly in Visual Editor and Visual Editor's wikitext mode (2017 wikitext editor). Please use sandbox or 2010 wikitext editor if you have problems with previewing the template.

Syntax
Type  inside the   tag.

Alternatively, you can use arguments by name instead of by position:

This is preferable to using arguments by position since the line just above orders the arguments in the same order they appear in the wikitext output, i.e. in logical order.

All arguments, except, are optional.

Please do not include information that doesn't matter for the title (e.g. hashtags). Also, do not end arguments with a dot.
