ഫലകം:Cite mailing list

ഫലകത്തിന്റെ വിവരണം

This template is used to cite sources in Wikipedia. It is specifically for archived public mailing lists. It calls {{cite web}} as a backend, but has uniform parameters which will hopefully lead to a standard way of citing mailing list records.

A general discussion of the use of templates for adding citation of open-source web content to Wikipedia articles is available at citation templates.

Usage

Common form for cases where only the message is available (with current date)

• {{cite mailing list |url= |title= |date= |accessdate=2019-10-13 |mailinglist= |last= |first= |authorlink= }}

Examples

Citing http://lists.debian.org/debian-announce/debian-announce-1996/msg00021.html

• {{cite mailing list | url = http://lists.debian.org/debian-announce/debian-announce-1996/msg00021.html | title = Debian Linux Distribution Release 1.1 Now Available | mailinglist = debian-announce | date = [[1996-06-17]] | last = Perens |first = Bruce |authorlink=Bruce Perens }}
  → Perens, Bruce (1996-06-17). "Debian Linux Distribution Release 1.1 Now Available". debian-announce mailing list.

Omitting a required parameter

• {{cite mailing list | title = Debian Linux Distribution Release 1.1 Now Available | mailinglist = debian-announce | date = [[1996-06-17]] | last = Perens |first = Bruce |authorlink=Bruce Perens }}
  → You must specify both url= and title= when using either with Cite mailing list.
